Sub leads Arkansas State past Drake in Pecan Bowl
Bubba Crocker, an unlikely substitute, spurred Arkansas State to a 29-21 victory over Drake in the Pecan Bowl in Arlington Texas. He entered in the first quarter after an ankle injury and threw a 75 yard TD to Steve Lockhart, later adding an 8 yard TD pass to Virgil Peyton and a 5 yard keeper. Crocker’s 35 yard pass in a late drive completed the comeback as Arkansas State clinched its first midwest NCAA college division title. Drake briefly tied the game in the third quarter but could not overcome the early burst and a blocked field goal attempt turned momentum.
