Arkansas State Red Wolves at Oregon Ducks on ESPN this fall



The Red Wolves and Ducks will be one of the featured games on opening night on Sept 1st, 2012 on national television.

ESPN apparently loves the style of both teams and thinks the matchup will be worth watching.  

Oregon Ducks and-Arkansas State Red Wolves will be broadcasted on ESPN. It’s a late kickoff. But with those two offenses it’s got to be worth staying up to watch.

Arkansas State’s Gus Malzahn will debut his coaching tenure with the Red Wolves for the first time, the defending Sun Belt Conference champions, at defending Pac-12 and Rose Bowl champion Oregon at 10:30 p.m. on ESPN. Malzahn was the offensive coordinator of the Auburn team that defeated Oregon in the 2011 Tostitos BCS National Championship.

Both teams had a successful record last season, and both have great offenses, this will be a game to watch late at night on ESPN. A Sun Belt champion up against a BCS PAC-12 champion.

Oregon finished 12-2 overall and ranked No. 4 in the country, following a 45-38 victory against Wisconsin in the Rose Bowl. ASU ended 2011 with a GoDaddy.com Bowl appearance and 10-3 record.

ASU head coach Gus Malzahn knows all about Oregon and their ducks. Coach Malzahn will not bringing the tigers to town this time around,  he’s going to battle with some red wolves. So those ducks better not get caught sleeping in the dark, because those red wolves will eat them up.
