2008 Arkansas State Football 7 astateredwolves.com SIX-YEAR IMPROVEMENT: During seventh-year head coach Steve Roberts’ first six seasons at Arkansas State the foot- ball program saw its win total increase by almost 100 percent over the previous six years. ASU posted 31 wins over Roberts’ first six years, 14 more than it recorded the six years prior to Roberts. In fact, ASU's 31 wins over those six years are the most for a six-year span since 1986-91.
TEAM CAPTAINS: ASU’s senior class will alternate throughout the year as team captains. The team will vote on permanent captains at the end of the year.
TEAM ACADEMIC AWARD: The Arkansas State football team has won the Sun Belt Conference Team Academic Award four of the past five years, including 2007.
A VISIT FROM THE GOVERNOR: Arkansas Governor Mike Beebe looked on as the Arkansas State Red Wolves went through a two-hour practice at the ASU practice fields during 2008 fall camp. Beebe, who was the guest speaker at the ASU Touchdown Club banquet Tuesday that night, addressed the team following practice, then took time to pose for pictures with ASU players and fans. “Obviously, it was a privilege for us to have the governor of the state of Arkansas here at our practice and to speak to our team,” said ASU Head Coach Steve Roberts. “We are very proud of what he has accomplished and continues to accomplish as the governor and as an ASU Alumnus.”
AFCA AWARD: Prior to the start of the 2007 season, the American Football Coaches Association announced that the Arkansas State University football team was one of just 34 Division I-A football pro- grams that graduated 70 percent or more of its student-athletes from their freshman classes of 2001-02.
A TIME TO BOND: When Head Coach Steve Roberts came to ASU, he brought a tradition with him which caught on in a hurry with the players. The night before each game, team members and coaches get together for milk and cookies. During this time, each player sits by and visits with at least three other players he has not visited with throughout the week in order to learn more about his teammates.
2008 Arkansas State Football 8 astateredwolves.com HEAD COACH STEVE ROBERTS Not long after leading Arkansas State to the 2005 Sun Belt Conference championship and New Orleans Bowl, head coach Steve Roberts continues to make ASU a dominant force in the Sun Belt Conference and has ASU on track for continued success in the upcoming years. When the 2005 Sun Belt Conference Coach of the Year took over the program in December 2001, he impressed everyone with his wide-eyed enthusiasm and limitless energy. And, most of all, they believed that Roberts would bring success to the ASU football program. Roberts has been the driving force behind ASU’s recent success, leading the football program to its most vic- tories over a six-year span since 1986-91. Under Roberts’ direction, ASU continues to add to the achievements that began upon his arrival. The 2006 and 2007 ASU teams backed up the 2005 Sun Belt championship with non- conference wins over teams such as Army, Memphis and SMU. The 2006 squad knocked off New Orleans Bowl champion Troy and the 2007 team fell to then-ranked No. 4 Texas by just eight points and pushed New Orleans Bowl champion Florida Atlantic to the final minutes. The 2007 team won the Sun Belt Conference academic award for the fourth time in the last five years and finished with the second most yards of total offense in school history. Roberts already holds the fifth most wins among ASU’s 26 all-time head coaches and has led the Red Wolves to a 25-8 record at ASU Stadium, which included a 5-1 record in 2007. Roberts was named Arkansas State’s 26th head football coach on December 21, 2001. Roberts graduated from Robinson High School in Little Rock. A 1987 graduate of Ouachita Baptist University, where he was an Academic All-American, Roberts received his masters from SAU in 1989. He and his wife Sherri have one daughter – Abby (13).
