http://www.yardbarker.com/colleges/louisiana_monroe_indians/569 Recent articles about Louisiana-Monroe Indians en-us (Editor's note: With the offseason in full gear, BH will be providing previews of OU's 2013 opponents. We'll go in chronological order, starting with the Sooners' season opener over Labor Day weekend, the Louisiana-Monroe Warhawks.) In their first three games of 2012, the Louisiana-Monroe Warhawks stunned Arkansas, 34-31, in overtime, lost to Auburn, 31-28, in overtime and nearly toppled Baylor. ULM tied for second in the Sun Belt Conference and finished the season with a 9-4 mark. The Warhawks were blown out by Ohio, 45-14, in the New Orleans Bowl. Todd Berry, coach of the year in the Sun Belt Conference last year, begins his fourth year at ULM carrying an 18-19 overall record into 2013. Offense Berry will have eight returnees on offense, needing to replace a wide receiver, tight end and right guard. Senior quarterback Kolton Browning (6-1, 203), the Sun Belt’s player of the year returns. He completed 63.8 percent of his passes last year for 3,049 ya...

The Panthers (16-12, 11-8 Sun Belt Conference), who had to rally in the last minute to defeat the Warhawks 76-73 on Feb. 2, trailed by 11 with 2:38 to go in the first half. FIU then launched a 22-6 run spanning both halves and eventually grew its lead to 11. Louisiana-Monroe came back to pull ahead 51-48 with 6:09 remaining. Still down by three with 5:33 left, the Panthers scored 17 straight points in the next 5 minutes, with six different players scoring. FIU tallied 31 points off 21 Warhawks turnovers. Jerome Frink added 13 points for the Panthers. Trent Mackey scored 17 and Amos Olatayo 15 for Louisiana-Monroe (4-21, 3-16), which dropped its fourth straight game.

McCray scored 17 points and Marcelis Hansberry got five of his 16 in overtime as Louisiana-Monroe beat Southeastern Louisiana 68-61 in a nonconference game Monday night for its first win this season. Neither team made a basket in overtime, with all nine points for the Warhawks (1-4) and the two points by the Lions (1-6) coming on free throws. Two free throws by Hansberry broke a 61-61 tie with 2:29 left in overtime, and Trent Mackey hit two more to make it 65-61. Hansberry made 1 of 2 free throws after a missed Lions shot, and he added a pair with 5 seconds left after making a steal. Jeffery Ricard scored 24 points for Southeastern Louisiana, which led by as many as eight points in the second half but needed Roosevelt Johnson's tip-in with 1 second left to tie it 59-59 after regulation.

Browning, who completed 31 of 38 passes, put Louisiana-Monroe (8-4, 6-2) up 7-0 in the first quarter on his 2-yard run. The teams exchanged scores until Louisiana-Monroe's R.J. Young returned an E.J. Hilliard fumble 36 yards for what looked like the game-winning touchdown. However, Hilliard completed a 58-yard Hail Mary at the end of regulation to send the game into overtime. FIU (3-9, 2-6) got the ball first in overtime but Louisiana-Monroe blocked the Panthers' 41-yard field goal attempt after sacking Hilliard for an 8-yard loss. From there, Browning completed two passes to Brent Leonard, then ran for 2 yards before connecting again with Leonard - this time from 15 yards out - for the game-winning touchdown. Leonard finished with 13 catches.

Browning completed 25 of 34 passes for the Warhawks (7-4, 5-2 Sun Belt Conference), whose record is the program's best since going 9-3 in 1993. Wide receiver Je'Ron Hamm caught seven of Browning's passes for a career-high 119 yards, including fourth-quarter touchdowns of 24 and 61 yards that stretched the lead to 35-10. Brent Leonard had eight catches for 93 yards and a touchdown for the Warhawks, who had lost their previous two games after winning five straight. Derek Thompson completed 27 of 43 passes for 322 yards and two touchdowns for the Mean Green (4-7, 3-4), with Carlos Harris catching eight for 118 yards. The teams combined for 985 yards total offense.

Leonard's fourth TD reception tied a single-game record for Louisiana-Monroe (6-2, 4-0 Sun Belt Conference), set by Stepfret Williams at Nevada on Oct. 14, 1995. Leonard caught nine passes for 126 yards. South Alabama (2-6, 1-3) tied the game at 21 early in the third quarter, but the Warhawks' Mitchell Bell ran 32 yards for a touchdown with 2:30 left in the period to lead 28-21. Leonard caught his fourth TD pass on a two-play drive - he grabbed both passes, one for 39 yards and the 24-yard score - early in the fourth to establish a 38-21 lead. South Alabama's Ross Metheny threw for 211 yards and two touchdowns, both to Jereme Jones, and Demetre Baker rushed for 115 yards.

The two-point conversion followed a 4-yard touchdown run by Browning to bring the Warhawks (5-2, 3-0) within 42-41. Browning finished 22-of-41 for 308 yards and two touchdowns passing, and ran for 69 yards and two touchdowns. Kawaun Jakes threw for 308 yards and four touchdowns for the Hilltoppers (5-2, 2-1) and ran for another score in the loss. The teams went to overtime after ULM stormed back from a 28-7 second-quarter deficit. The loss snapped a four-game winning streak for Western Kentucky and was the Hilltoppers' first Sun Belt loss since losing to Arkansas State on Oct. 1, 2011. ULM now has sole possession of first place in the league.

Louisiana-Monroe (3-2, 1-0) had the ball nearly 40 minutes while rolling up 500 yards total offense compared to 307 for the Blue Raiders (3-2, 1-1). Middle Tennessee, which trailed 24-3 early in the third quarter, had just 69 yards on the ground. After Benny Cunningham scored his second Blue Raiders TD in the first minute of the fourth quarter, Middle Tennessee got the ball back with 11:06 remaining. On second-and-goal from the Louisiana Monroe 7, Logan Kilgore's pass was intercepted by Isaiah Newsome with 8:25 to go. The Warhawks then ran out the clock on a 16-play, 70-yard drive. Kilgore passed for 238 yards, and Carlos Lopez kicked a career-long 44-yard field goal for Middle Tennessee.

The junior was 15-of-21 for 253 yards as the Warhawks (2-2) gained 553 yards and scored their most points since moving to the Football Bowl Subdivision level in 1994. The Green Wave (0-4) lost their 14th straight and had just 151 yards total offense. After Browning's first scoring pass, a 3-yarder to Kevin Steed, made it 14-0 in the first quarter, D.J. Ponder, the third Tulane starting quarterback in three weeks, was intercepted by R.J. Young. Young fumbled at the Tulane 6 after returning it 49 yards, but Ray Stovall recovered the ball in the end zone to score. Browning threw for second-quarter scores of 29 yards to Je'Ron Hamm and 38 yards to Tavarese Mays, and Darius Lively's 6-yard interception return touchdown in the third quarter put the Warhawks up 56-3.

Before Saturday’s game, ESPNU sportscaster Clay Matvick called Louisiana Monroe, “their final tune up before a number one Alabama comes calling next week.” Looks like the Hogs need to put the car back in the shop, but that is another story.Berry spoke strongly of his team during the Sun Belt Media Day this summer. I was there when he did, but honestly did not think much of it. Looking back, he was truly confident about his team coming into the season. The Warhawks head coach talked about his quarterback during the media day, “I think we got a really special quarterback in Kolton Browning. Tough guy. You know last year, unbeknownst to y’all, he played with a broken sternum. He broke it in the fourth game of our season. He kept playing.” Browning had 481 total yards and four touchdowns including the game winner...

Like me, chances are you were watching one of the evening’s higher-profile tilts. The game’s score popped up on the crawl at the bottom of your screen every once in a while, suggesting a comfortable – if not a bit lethargic – win for the Razorbacks. If you’re into that kind of thing, ULM covering the 30.5-point spread wouldn’t have been a surprise, seeing as the Hogs had Alabama on deck. Unless you are someone who might care more than your average fan about one of the two teams involved, you probably weren’t paying attention when the Warhawks cut the deficit to 14 late in the third quarter. When ULM scored again early in the fourth quarter to cut Arkansas’ lead to just 7 points, that probably changed. You might have clicked over to find that Tyler Wilson, Arkansas’ star quarterback, was lost for the game. You also might have ...

Browning's 16-yard touchdown run on fourth-and-one lifted Louisiana-Monroe to a 34-31 overtime win over the No. 8 Razorbacks on Saturday night. Browning accounted for 481 yards of total offense and four touchdowns to lead the Warhawks (1-0) to their first win over a Southeastern Conference team since defeating Alabama in 2007. The junior made his first career start in Little Rock's War Memorial Stadium two years ago as a freshman, a 31-7 loss by the Warhawks. He showed his maturity and then some in his return, helping Louisiana-Monroe outgain Arkansas 550-377 in total yards. The Razorbacks (1-1) played the second half without quarterback Tyler Wilson, who suffered a head injury after taking several big hits in the first half. Wilson, who also missed the second half against New Mexico last season with concussion-like symptoms, was 11-of-20 passing for 196 yards and a pair of touchdowns before leaving the game at halftime.

UALR (11-13, 8-2 Sun Belt) built a game-high 11-point lead with 5:34 remaining, but Louisiana-Monroe (2-22, 1-10) clawed to within 68-66 on a 3-pointer by Fred Brown with five seconds left. Louisiana-Monroe was forced to foul Williams and he netted two free throws to seal the win. Williams made 11 of 12 free throws. Tied at 9-all ten minutes in, UALR started an 11-2 run within the next three minutes for a 20-11 lead that was not relinquished the rest of the game. The Trojans won despite converting only 17 of 50 field goals (34 percent), including 4 of 18 from 3-point distance. Louisiana-Monroe shot 41.5 percent, including 38.9 percent on 3-pointers. Louisiana-Monroe's Marcelis Hansberry led all scorers with 22 points. Chuck Guy scored 14 points for UALR.

Western Kentucky (5-9), coming off a 70-60 loss to No. 4 Louisville, snapped a three-game skid. George Fant led the Hilltoppers with 17 points, including three in overtime, and nine rebounds. The Warhawks (1-13) led by 10 points in the first half, then the momentum shifted to Western Kentucky, which led by as many as 15 in the second. The Hilltoppers saw a six-point cushion evaporate with 46 seconds left in regulation. Steven McClellan converted a three-point play with 11 seconds to go, then Hugh Mingo made a 3-pointer with 4 seconds on the clock to tie it at 64 Western Kentucky never trailed in overtime as Kaspar contributed a jumper and 4 of 5 free throws. Mingo scored a season-high 23 points.

Harding, a Division II team, defeated Southeast Missouri State - a D-I squad - 68-63 on Nov. 7, but the game between the two was an exhibition. Harding held a 62-50 lead with 5:29 left in the second half when Hayden Johnson knocked down a 3-pointer. The Bisons had trouble pulling away from Louisiana-Monroe, as the Warhawks cut the lead to 68-65 on Fred Brown's 3-pointer with 40 seconds remaining. But Harding was able to hold on as Weston Jameson made a couple of free throws down the stretch to help top the Warhawks (0-5). Zach Roddenberry scored 13 points for Harding. Johnson and Bradley Spencer each had 10 points. Charles Winborne led Louisiana-Monroe with 18 points, Brown had 17 points and Trent Mackey added 13.

The Lions (2-1) led by as many as 14 points late in the first half and again, 47-33, with 12:34 remaining in the game. The Warhawks (0-4) then went on a 14-3 run, which included five points apiece by Charles Winborne and Marcelis Hansberry, to close to within 50-47 with 6:54 left. Louisiana-Monroe trailed 61-56 with a minute left but got within one, 61-60 on two free throws by Hansberry and a layup by Bibi Ndongo with 23 seconds left after a steal by Hansberry. Daron Populist made two free throws with 5 seconds to give the Lions their final margin. He finished with 13 points.

Kolton Browning was 15 of 18 for 193 passing yards with two touchdowns and also rushed for a score - a 3-yard scamper that sparked 35 straight points for the Warhawks (3-7, 2-4 Sun Belt Conference). He also connected with Brent Leonard on a 12-yard pass and Je'Ron Hamm on a 50-yarder during the scoring spree. Edwards notched two of his scores during the run, capping it with a 41-yard rush for a 35-0 Louisiana-Monroe advantage midway through the second quarter. His 31-yard rushing score gave the Warhawks their final margin. The Warhawks edged the Blue Raiders (2-7, 1-4) 453-423 in total offense, including a 260-132 mark in the ground game. Louisiana-Monroe forced three turnovers while committing just one.
