The Arkansas State Red Wolves will battle the Missouri State Bears for the Xbox Bowl in Frisco.
The Red Wolves started the season 1-4 but have since won five of their last seven games. The Bears, on the other hand, win five in a row before losing the final two games of the season.
Missouri State running back Shomari Lawrence was just 36 yards away from reaching one thousand rushing yards. The Bears also received offensive contributions from senior quarterback Jacob Clark, who threw for over 1,000 yards against non-conference opponents.
