The Skyhawk football team’s winning streak was limited to one game Saturday night when UTM suffered a 56-7 loss to Arkansas State.

ASU’s defense held UTM to just 231 total offensive yards. The Indians managed to limit star tailback Donald Chapman to only 58 yards, 83 less than in the season opener against Central Arkansas.

Behind him was Josh Chapman, who added 46 yards on 12 carries. Quarterback Brady Wahlberg went 8-of-14 in passing attempts for 103 yards and only picked up 17 yards rushing.

The Skyhawks’ lone touchdown came with 14:37 remaining in the game when tailback Justin Glover capped off a nine-play, 82-yard drive with a 5-yard TD run.

Redshirt freshman Adam Ivy saw plenty of action, punting eight times for a total of 335 yards. Ivey averaged 41.9 yards per punt with the longest kick going for 48.

Defensively, rover Jack Greenwood led the team in tackles with eight. Behind him, each with seven, were linebacker David Gilmore, free safety Kevin Rondo and linebacker Jason Hockaday.

Greenwood, Gilmore, Hockaday and linebacker Adrian Pruitt each picked up a sack on the night.

The Skyhawks look to go back above .500 when they take on conference-rival Tennessee State next Saturday. The OVC opener for each school is scheduled to kick-off at noon on Saturday at Graham Stadium.

Last year, TSU defeated UTM 27-13 in Martin.
