The Red Wolves are looking to build on their 2023 improvement that saw them go 6-6 before losing narrowly in a Bowl Game.
They were able to double their win total from 2022, but they did need three non-conference wins to help them secure a Bowl Game appearance.
Arkansas State took on Northern Illinois in the Camellia Bowl and fell to a 21-19 defeat when they failed with a two-point conversion attempt with just 74 seconds to go.
The Red Wolves will want to return to a Bowl Game in 2024, and they made a successful start to the season as they downed Central Arkansas, 34-31, and Tulsa, 28-24.

Michigan come into this game looking to issue an immediate response to last weekend's defeat to Texas.
The Wolverines opened the season with a 30-10 victory over Fresno State, but failed to back that up as they failed to lay a glove on the Longhorns in a 31-12 defeat.
It was a disappointing setback fro the defending champions, who when all the way last season despite Jim Harbaugh serving a couple of sideline bans.
