The Red Wolves just wrote their names into college football history. Arkansas State edged Missouri State 34-28 in a nail-biting thriller at The Ford Center at The Star on December 18, 2025, claiming the inaugural Xbox Bowl championship in spectacular fashion.
This wasn’t just a win it was a statement performance on gaming’s biggest gridiron stage in Frisco, Texas.
The Red Wolves dominated the first half of the game due to a relentless and ball-hawking defense but Missouri State roared back to make a game out of it.
A back-and-forth 4th quarter battle kept fans roaring throughout with both teams trading blows like championship gamers but eventually Arkansas State’s special teams sealed the deal by recovering the onside kick.
Frisco’s cutting edge venue and location provided the perfect backdrop for this historic matchup, merging traditional bowl pageantry with next-gen entertainment. The atmosphere was electric, the stakes were high, and the Red Wolves delivered.
First Xbox Bowl? Conquered. Trophy earned. Legacy secured. Congrats to the Arkansas State Red Wolves.
