Anderson will have the chance to prove Hudspeth is over rated or prove the be the bargain basement hire I thought he was when State hired him.

This is true. Larry Blakeney is 2 of 5 in bowls. The losses were to tougher teams than Louisiana has played, in my opinion, but it takes nothing away from what HUD has done. Three in a row is impressive no matter the competition.

Arkansas State's run won't last forever, and maybe this year the coaching carousel catches up to them.

Its much more about the talent on roster than the coaching. We've got only 11 or so players left who were around pre conference title run. That means in the next couple years we'll see whether or not our recruiting was effective even with the coaching changes.

The one good thing is that we've not lost a single starter to a transfer in this time...which shows the coaching changes have not bothered the players.

This year will be especially telling, because it appears that Fredi Knighten will indeed get the QB job, and there are still a lot of fans who question whether he can throw the ball. We'll know quickly.
