ARKADELPHIA, Ark. (KTHV) -- THV's Mark Edwards traveled down to Arkadelphia for the kick off of college football in Arkansas as Henderson State University and Ouachita Baptist University each host games tonight.

The HSU Reddies face off against Southern Nazarene Wednesday night at 7 p.m. Tailgate activities started at 5 p.m. on campus.

Mark Edwards visited with HSU Athletic Director Kale Gober about the Reddies upcoming season. Gober says the decision to move the opening game to Wednesday night was to keep players and fans safe from impending severe weather.

Mark also got a sneak peek into the HSU locker room right before the Reddies took the field. Take a look at the video to see how the Reddies got pumped before gametime!
