Lombardi, Northern Illinois beat Arkansas State 21-19 in the Camellia Bowl

Associated Press  

The AP Top 25 college football poll is back every week throughout the season! Lombardi passed and ran for a touchdown and Northern Illinois held on for a 21-19 victory over Arkansas State in the Camellia Bowl on Saturday when the Red Wolves couldn’t convert a late 2-point conversion. Arkansas State couldn’t convert the onside kick, getting called for offsides after coming up with the ball on the first of two attempts to prompt a heated protest from coach Butch Jones. Holder Tom Foley flipped the ball to kicker Kanon Woodill, who darted up the middle 32 yards into a wide open field for Northern Illinois’s first fake field goal touchdown in 11 years. “That actually was probably the game-winning play.” THE TAKEAWAY Arkansas State finished with a losing record but doubled last season’s win total.
