Arkansas State starts the season on Saturday at Nebraska but as much as the team has been thinking about the Cornhuskers lately, the thoughts around the program have also been centered on Wendy Anderson.
The wife of Red Wolves head coach Blake Anderson, Wendy was diagnosed in the spring with breast cancer and has been undergoing treatment ever since -- including a somewhat sudden surgery earlier this week. While the Andersons have been shuttling back-and-forth between Jonesboro for practice and doctors appointments, the coach announced some really good news on Twitter Thursday afternoon that counts as the first win of the season for everybody at ASU.
JESUS CHRIST still in the business of answering prayers & miracles... got the call that @2day4fun is CANCER FREE !!! Thx for all the prayers

Terrific news for Wendy and the entire Anderson family on defeating the biggest opponent they’ll face this year.
