In Camo Louisiana-Monroe Ambushes Wake Forest 17-10

The ULM Warhawks debuted camo jerseys for their season opener against Wake Forest and judging from their 17-10 win over Wake Forest they were a success.

Heck even the Duck Dynasty crew loved it.

The Warhawks took the lead for good when quarterback Pete Thomas scored on a keeper from nine yards that proved the be the winner for ULM 17-10.

KNOE 8 News; KNOE-TV; KNOE.com |

"It was a great call," Thomas said. "It may have been the call of the night. You've got to give it up to the offensive line. The passing game wasn't working too well, so we really had to lean on the run game, and they opened up a great hole and made it easy for me."

Wake Forest had seen Pete Thomas before, Last year Thomas was the starting quarterback for NC State and completed 27 of 43 passes for for 257 yards but the Deacs prevailed 28-13.

Thomas got a little revenge Thursday night.

"He was walking into a place where a pretty prolific quarterback just left the program." ULM head coach Todd Berry said. "I told him going in let’s take care of the football, and every thrown doesn’t have to be a completion or a bullet. Let’s make some good decision. I thought he handle those things pretty well.

As for Wake Forest the beginning of the Dave Clawson era looks a lot like the end of the Jim Grobe era, poor offensive production.

The Demon Deacons could only total 94 yards of total offense, -3 yards rushing for the game.

True freshman quarterback John Wolford was running for his life the entire game and was sacked seven times by the Warhawk defense.  He completed 12 of 22 passes for 97 yards.

"We didn’t play very smart but obviously we got nothing going offensively."  Wake Forest head coach Dave Clawson said. "We didn’t block, get open and had no explosive plays on offense other than the one third down.”

It looks like a long year for Deac fans.

Big Numbers, Big Whoop...Louisville, Miami, Baylor, Pitt

Ranked versus Unranked led to a 17-0 spread and an average score of 47-11...

Some people like it for the idea of getting your back-ups the chance to get reps- just in case...
Others think it's tiresome...

Baylor beat Louisiana-Monroe 70-7 and no one wants to play Baylor
((HT: KWTX-TV))


Iowa put up 59 against a directional Michigan school while Michigan actually just survived a UConn road game...

Savannah State picked up another paycheck traveling to Miami to get whacked by Miami 77-7. The spread was 60 and they covered...

“I know that I can change a program like this,” first-year Savannah State coach Earnest Wilson said. “We aspire to be big-time. A game like this helps us judge where we are. The only difference is depth. I know I have to go out and recruit and get some guys like they have.”

Savannah State got $375,000 for taking the trip to Miami, plus another chance to line up against a ranked program. The game was shortened in the fourth quarter. Wilson and Miami’s Al Golden talked at halftime and agreed to trim 3 minutes off the final quarter.

“I’ve been there,” Golden said. “I’ve been on the other side of those at Temple. He was trying to teach his team how to keep fighting. I’ve been in his shoes.”

Here's the highlights...


In Louisville, Teddy Bridgewater threw four touchdown passes and Louisville's defense allowed a school-record 30 yards, helping the seventh-ranked Cardinals blow out Florida International 72-0. It was the highest scoring game for the Cardinals since a 73-10 victory over Murray State in 2007. It also matched the school's fifth-largest margin of victory.

And in a game that, actually, was entertaining about it...
Pitt and Duke went after each other to the tune of a 58-55 shootout where the Panthers had to run out the clock on the ground...

What this says about Coach Cut and the Duke defense, the HQ doesn't really know... but there should be reason for optimism with the offense...

Just How Bad is Wake Forest...???

((HT: ACC Sports))

Or, as we ask Brother Wilkie, is it more how good is Louisiana-Monroe...???

The Warhawks went into Winston-Salem yesterday and beat the Deacs 21-19, but there was one good thing the home team could take out of the day.

WR Michael Campanaro tied the ACC mark with 16 catches in a game... equaling a record he tied once before back in 2012

College Football Preview: Sun Belt Conference

SUN BELT CONFERENCE

Talk about a conference in flux, gone are FIU, FAU, Middle Tennessee and North Texas to Conference USA.  Welcome Georgia State and Texas State to the SBC however the conference remains in transition.

Western Kentucky is playing its final season in the Sun Belt and headed to C-USA.  Appalachian State, Georgia Southern, New Mexico State and Idaho join in 2014. 

Recently the Sun Belt Conference has earned a reputation of scaring the bejesus out of SEC teams, sometimes succeeding.  Do you think BCS schools Oklahoma, Wake Forest and Baylor are a bit uneasy with Louisiana-Monroe on the schedule this year?

GEORGIA STATE PANTHERS                                                                                                           2012 Record: 1-10, 1-7 in CAA

Georgia State ended their Football Championship Subdivision era bottoming out at 1-10 and getting pounded in the Colonial Athletic Association with one win in conference.  That was a 41-7 win over Rhode Island.  Not the ending former GSU head coach Bill Curry wanted to end his career with.

Georgia State begins a new era in 2013.  The Panthers have moved up to the FBS level and a member of the Sun Belt Conference. 

There is also a new head coach in Trent Miles who has worked one miracle.

WHAT TO LIKE ABOUT GEORGIA STATE:

TRENT MILES: If ever there was a coach who could resurrect a flat lined football program it’s Miles.  He took over a near dead Indiana State program that had won one game in three years.  After winning just one game in his first two seasons as the head coach of the Sycamores Miles turned the program around with three consecutive winning seasons. 

The track record is there so there is reason for optimism for Panther fans.

WHAT GEORGIA STATE NEEDS TO IMPROVE ON:

OFFENSE: The Panther offense was awful last season.  Georgia State averaged only 17.4 points per game in their final season in FCS.  Former Boston College head coach Jeff Jagodzinski runs the GSU offense now as the new offensive coordinator.  You can bet Jagodzinski will be drawing up plays to get the ball in the hands of senior wide receiver Albert Wilson, the best playmaker on the team.

SCHEDULE BREAKDOWN:

At least the program can pay the bills after trips to West Virginia (Sept. 14^th) and at Alabama (Oct. 5^th).  Chattanooga (Sept. 7^th) and South Alabama (Nov. 30^th) appear to be the most winnable games on the docket.

OSG’s TAKE:

Wilkie: I love the hiring of Trent Miles but his first year at GSU might be an oh – for.

Phil: Good coaching staff, profitable schedule, not near enough athletes. May eventually be competitive, but not this yr.

Jon: I think the Miles era will be another painful one in the Georgia Dome

SOUTH ALABAMA JAGUARS                                                                                                           2012 Record: 2-11

The transitional period is over for the Jaguars, they can compete for the Sun Belt Championship.  That won’t happen this year.

WHAT TO LIKE ABOUT SOUTH ALABAMA:

JUCO TRANFERS: Head coach Joey Jones is going the junior college route to find some size for his defense which wasn’t bad last year, just small.  Nine JUCO transfers are expected to either start or contribute significantly.

THEY HAVE A QUARTERBACK: His name is Ross Metheny and Joey Jones has put his trust in Metheny that he can provide the explosive plays (30 to 40 yard plays) that was lacking last season. 

WHAT SOUTH ALABAMA NEEDS TO IMPROVE ON:

JUST NOT THERE YET: It’s up to the JUCO transfers as how much South Alabama improves from their 2-9 record last season. 

SCHEDULE BREAKDOWN: South Alabama has some of the Sun Belt big boys Arkansas State, Louisiana- Lafayette and Western Kentucky at home.  Going 2 of 3 against those teams and that might mean challenging for an upper division finish. 

OSG’S TAKE:

Wilkie: South Alabama is on the right track.  They will be better than last year but I’m afraid the final won-loss record might not reflect it.

Phil: Again, growing pains abound. They are on the right path, but it’s a bigger jump from small to large than most think. It will eventually come, but not this year. 4 wins or more will be huge achievement.

Jon: Agree. Joey Jones has been there since the beginning and I have the feeling he’ll be there for the long-term. The administration has put a lot of trust in him. And they’ll need a lot more…

TEXAS STATE BOBCATS                                                                                                            2012 Record: 4-8

Welcome to the Sun Belt Texas State.  The highlight of the 2012 season was upsetting Houston 30-13 in week one but couldn’t back that up the rest of the year. 

WHAT TEXAS STATE NEEDS TO IMPROVE ON:

DEFENSE: Michael Orakpo (Brother of NFL star Brian Orakpo) joins the Bobcats after transferring from Colorado State and should make an impact on a defense that had a tough time against the run last season.  Part of the reason was David Mayo missed the last five games of the season with a knee injury.  This unit should be much better.

WHAT TEXAS STATE NEEDS TO IMPROVE ON:

OFFENSIVE LINE:  The O-Line gave up 28 sacks last season.  That has to change for Texas State’s offense to be successful.

SCHEDULE BREAKDOWN: Of the Sun Belt big boys only Western Kentucky comes to San Marcos.  Wyoming pays a visit to the Texas plains so that might be a winnable game that might raise an eye brow or two.

OSG’S TAKE:

Wilkie: Head coach Dennis Franchione is optimistic this team might have a breakout season.  I’m not sure I share that but they will be a pain in the backside in their first season in the Sun Belt.

Phil: Better, but yet again, a long way to go....

Jon: Agree again… pain for everyone, but it won’t translate into a lot of wins…

TROY TROJANS                                                                                                                             2012 Record: 5-7

During Larry Blankney’s 22 seasons as head coach at Troy he never experienced back to back losing seasons until now.  In 2011 Troy was 3-9 and in 2012 the Trojans finished 5-7.  Troy will be trying to avoid a third losing year in a row.

WHAT TO LIKE ABOUT TROY:

COREY ROBINSON: Robinson is a four year starter with an impressive body of work that includes 10,258 career passing yards, the nation’s active leader.  Robinson had some injury issues last year so he must stay healthy.  Robinson has some skill on the edges to throw to.  Eric Thomas is his favorite target and caught 55 passes last year. 

WHAT TROY NEEDS TO IMPROVE ON:

OFFENSIVE LINE: Terrance Jones is the lone holdover from 2012 and he’s moving from right tackle to left tackle to protect Robinson’s blind side.  It will be a work in progress.

DEFENSE: The Trojan defense finished dead last in the SBC last year so there’s nowhere to go but up.  Generating a decent pass rush has been an issue.

SCHEDULE BREAKDOWN: It doesn’t favor Troy.  The Trojans road games include SBC heavyweights Arkansas State, Western Kentucky and Louisiana-Lafayette.  Plus Troy travels twice to Mississippi (vs. Mississippi State on Sept 21^st and Ole Miss Nov. 16st.) and at Duke (Sept. 28^th).

OSG’S TAKE:

Wilkie: Troy will avoid a third straight losing season for Larry Blankney because Corey Robinson is that good but they will have to outscore opponents.

Phil: No D= not enough wins. A .500 team if there ever was one. Outscoring people only works in the Big 12 and Pac 12.

Jon: I see a lot of Nintendo scores for Blakeney and Troy this year, and that may be the only reason they are over .500

ARKANSAS STATE RED WOLVES                                                                                                                                                                                
2012 Record: 10-3, Sun Belt Conference Champions

The Bryan Harsin era has begun in Jonesboro, ASU’s third head coach in 4 years.  You can’t blame Hugh Freeze or Gus Malzahn.  They parlayed their successful seasons at ASU into head coaching jobs in the SEC.  If this is a stepping stone job for Harsin then he picked the right place and the cupboard isn’t bare at ASU.

THINGS TO LIKE ABOUT ARKANSAS STATE:

PLEATHORA OF TALENT OUT THERE: Arkansas State has some players. Tennessee transfer David Oku gained 1,061 yards and 16 touchdowns last year and could top those numbers in his senior season.  The receiving corps is solid led by 2012 SBC Freshman of the Year J.D. McKissic who had 1,022 yards receiving yards.  The Red Wolves also return a solid defense that’s tough to score points on.

WHAT ARKANSAS STATE NEEDS TO IMPROVE ON:

WHO’S GOING TO PLAY QUARTERBACK: Ryan Aplin won’t be walking through the door for ASU this year.  The battle is joined between Phillip Butterfield and Fredi Knighten.

SCHEDULE BREAKDOWN: ASU has ULM and Western Kentucky on the road.  Troy and Louisiana Lafayette travel to Jonesboro.  ASU has two SEC schools on the schedule, at Auburn Sept. 7^th and at Missouri Sept. 28^th, winnable SEC road games. 

OSG’S TAKE

Wilkie: Whoever wins the QB competition between Butterfield or Knighten and there isn’t much of a drop off at that position then the Red Wolves might repeat as SBC champions.  . 

Phil: One of the leagues powers. If the system is indeed staying the same, they’ll be a tough out for anybody. All they need is some defense.

Jon: I think Ark State will be in the mix again this year for the title… and they may scare someone along the way outside the SBC

LOUISIANA RAJIN’ CAJUNS                                                                                                                              2012 Record: 9-4

Mark Hudspeth has revived this program. He’s 18-8 in his two seasons as the head coach of the Rajin’ Cajuns.  Hudspeth might be the next SBC head coach that is hired by a BCS school and a bit surprised it hasn’t happened yet. 

WHAT TO LIKE ABOUT LOUISIANA – LAFAYETTE:

ENJOY THE BROADWAY SHOW: Junior Terrence Broadway performed to rave reviews in 2012 setting school records for total offense (3,616 yards) and completion percentage (65.4).  Junior Alonzo Harris is the Cajuns’ best back gaining 881 yards last year.  If Louisiana-Lafayette can find some go-to receivers the Cajun offense would be loaded.

WHAT NOT TO LIKE ABOUT LOUISIANA-LAFAYETTE:

DEFENDING THE PASS: ULL was dead last in the SBC last season against the pass and gave up way to many big plays through the air.  There will be pressure on the Cajun defensive backs to cut down on allowing explosive plays.

SCHEDULE BREAKDOWN:

The Cajuns open the season at Arkansas and at Kansas State so a 0-2 start might be likely.  After that they must go to WKU and Arkansas State.

OSG’s TAKE:

Wilkie: Louisiana-Lafayette may have to outscore opponents to win and they are perfectly capable of doing that.  The Cajuns will challenge for the SBC title

Phil: Have to be careful here (wife is alum). Hudspeth may be best coach in league. He’s stabilized a very inconsistent team. Lots of talent back and Mr. Broadway may be the leagues best. If D shows up, they play for title. End of debate.

Jon: I think it’ll be Lafayette and Ark State again challenging for the title. One goes to New Orleans, the other to Mobile…

WESTERN KENTUCKY HILLTOPPERS                                                                                                                                2012 Record: 7-6

Goodbye Willie Taggart, hello Bobby Petrino.  There’s a lot of baggage their but Bowling Green, KY might be the perfect place for Petrino to rehab his coaching career.  Petrino will have some decent tools to work with.

THINGS TO LIKE ABOUT WESTERN KENTUCKY:

BOBBY PETRINO:  Love him or hate him Petrino can really coach and he has some outstanding offensive players in place.  Running back Antonio Andrews is a special talent.  Andrews gained 3,161 all-purpose yards last season, only Barry Sanders had surpassed over 3,000 all-purpose yards in a single season.  Andrews damn near had 2,000 yards rushing falling a few hundred yards short.  Petrino loves to use tight ends in his offense and WKY is well stocked there.

WHAT WESTERN KENTUCKY NEEDS TO IMPROVE ON:

FRONT FOUR:  WKY defense must replace its entire front four which was outstanding last season.  That’s going to put some pressure on All-SBC middle linebacker Andrew Jackson to make plays. 

SCHEDULE BREAKDOWN:

Western Kentucky opens with back to back game against SEC schools.  WKY opens the season in Nashville against Kentucky, the Hilltoppers defeated the Wildcats in Lexington last year and it’s a winnable game again.  Then it’s off to Knoxville to battle Tennessee, could be winnable.  November might be the determining factor for WKY in the Sun Belt title race with three road games in a row that month against conference foes.

OSG’S TAKE:

Wilkie:  I get the feeling the Hilltoppers want to win now because Bobby Petrino won’t be there long term is that happens.  Even with all his transgressions college football’s big boys will be willing to take a chance on Petrino, he’s that good a coach.  I expect WKY will be challenging for the SBC championship and may just win it.

Phil: They will be better, and scary. The description fits a Petrino team even if it’s not his players. Like most teams in Sun Belt, good offense wins. Just needs D to show up and make an occasional stop. They’ll play for title next yr.

Jon: I think it may take a season for Petrino to get his way with his players (and not Taggart’s) in Bowling Green. They’ll finish third and next season will be the one to pay attention to for a title- and a Petrino exit.

LOUISIANA – MONROE WARHAWKS                                                                                                                                                           2012 Record: 8-5

After defeating Arkansas last year the Warhawks were mid-major darlings.  ULM looked like Sun Belt Champions last year until injuries took their toll.  With key elements returning ULM looks poised to win the SBC.

WHAT TO LIKE ABOUT LOUISIANA – MONROE:

KOLTON BROWNING: He’s back and he’s healthy.  Browning was off to a special season until a leg injury sidelined him and the Warhawks lost two important games against Louisiana-Lafayette and Arkansas State.  The last impression you have of Browning was his three interception performance in a loss to Ohio in the Independence Bowl.    Browning is way too good for that and should have a SBC Player of the Year time season.

WHAT LOUISIANA-MONROE NEEDS TO IMPROVE ON:

DEFENDING THE PASS:  ULM’s defensive backs have talent and can stick a running back but gave up big plays from good passing offenses.  It didn’t help either that the Warhawk pass rush was not as consistent as it should be.  It’s very fixable because it’s a talented group.

SCHEDULE BREAKDOWN:

ULM opens at Oklahoma, they won’t win that one.  Two weeks later the Warhawks head to Winston-Salem, NC to face Wake Forest, which could be winnable.  Then take on Baylor in Waco, TX, last year ULM lost a wild one to Baylor 47-41 so put that in the winnable column.  Western Kentucky and Arkansas State must come to Monroe, a big plus.  ULM closes on the road against rival ULL. 

OSG’s TAKE:

Wilkie:  This is ULM’s time, my favorite to win the Sun Belt Conference. 

Phil: Could be an all-Louisiana title game. Solid squad that would not have finished last in the SEC last season. They’ll scare everyone they play. And they should. If they go 2-1 vs. Big Boys, they’ll be bowling...

Jon: Sorry, I take it back. Ark State, Lafayette, and Monroe will be ahead of Western. Monroe could be bowl eligible by the end of it all and could make it to Detroit or another far-flung place.

SBC Champions:

Wilkie: Louisana-Monroe – This is a deep and talented football team.  The Warhawks are built for a special season.

Phil: Ragin-Cajuns. (I have to say this)

Jon: Lafayette

Baylor Has The Balls To Play at Louisiana-Monroe, And Win 47-42

Louisiana-Monroe has established themselves as a pain in the ass to the SEC and college football's Cinderella.  The Warhawks defeated Arkansas two weeks ago and damn near beat Auburn last Saturday with both games going overtime. 

While those games were on the road Baylor had the stones to actually play ULM in Monroe, Louisiana at the Warhawks home Malone Stadium.

A record crowd of 31,175 jammed every nook and cranny of Malone Stadium and saw high scoring shootout.

Down 35-34 in the fourth quarterback Baylor quarterback Nick Florence proved that in a hostile situation he can lead his team on a game winning drive.

Florence lead the Bears on a 14 play, 73 yard drive that put the Bears up for good and with an insurance 22 yard touchdown to Terrence Williams put the game out of reach for the Warhawks as Baylor won it 47-42.

"It was a dogfight.” Baylor head coach Art Briles said.  “They are an extremely hot football team right now that has a tremendous amount of confidence.We walked into an environment that we knew would be a great football atmosphere to begin with.”

“It was good for us to win this game on the road,” Baylor quarterback Nick Florence said. “It’s good to fight through this because next week is going to be tough, too. You’ve got to make plays when you need them. That’s the name of the game.”

Nick Florence final numbers against ULM were impressive.  26 of 39 passing 351 yards and a career high four touchdowns, he did throw 2 interceptions.

ULM’s Kolton Browning finished 25-39 for 272 yards and two touchdowns. Browning also rushed for 49 yards and a rushing touchdown.

Here’s the highlights from Baylor’s win over ULM. (Thanks BaylorAthletics)

The win over Louisiana – Monroe is the ninth straight for Baylor.  It’s the second longest streak in the FBS, TCU has won 10 in a row.

The Ess-E-Cee West: Chizik Needs To Apologize

The HQ was front and center (well, technically, not front and center, it was more like between the 30 and 40-yard line) at The Loveliest Village yesterday to see something we could only shake our head at and wonder just how far the talent has fallen on The Plains.

Do you realize that, right now, Louisiana-Monroe is only one highlight package away from being at the top of the Ess-E-Cee West Division...

Particularly, this group...
((HT: AuburnAthletics))


And, The Chiz will take the win...
((HT: goldcrim))


First, and foremost... had ULM won their second game in a row, realistically, they would be at the top of the Ess-E-Cee West. Western Kentucky, for that matter, is only a half-game back from the lead in East.

To that matter... for any member of the Auburn coaching staff to maintain that QB Kiehl Frazier is an "effective game manager" is just this side of "are you guys watching the same game we are?"

Frazier actually said in the post-game interview scrums: "I thought I took a step in the right direction. I made a lot of mistakes I need to get fixed, but I feel like I'm getting better."

Frazier started 9-for-12, but finished 1-for-6 which included poor decision-making, an overall lack of decision-making at times, holding onto the ball too long, not avoiding a sack by getting rid of the football, making ill-advised passes that were floating into coverage and could have killed a receiver, and throwing an interception right into a white jersey.

The only problem there was that Auburn was wearing their home blues...

It is evident, obvious, and any other adjective you'd like... that Frazier has not yet adapted to new-OC Scot Loeffler's power-system. Frazier is a zone-read option QB- this is clearly square-peg, round-hole stuff going on right now. Why the system wasn't created to suit Frazier's strengths is beyond me in a key year for this coaching staff...

Frazier is confused and is thinking entirely too much for his position... and when the world around you is moving faster than your brain is willing your body to function, you're in serious trouble.

Where's Clint Moseley, CJ Uzomah, or Quan Bray and the imagination that needs to go with finding the strengths of your athletes and (supposed 3, 4, and 5-star) recruits you felt worthy to be "All In?"

But Loeffler admitted: "He was able to do exactly what we wanted him to do" when the game was done.

Really...??? Okay... sure...

Thus... one play away from 0-3 and change-of-address kits for a coaching staff... which, still, may be in play at season's end...

Now, to the defense and new-DC Dave VanGorder...

Tackling and the skill that goes with it, obviously, is optional on the Plains (and a lot of other places these days, for that matter). Once again, the idea that a system wasn't created to allow for your athlete's strengths seems to be the order of the day...

One play in particular saw four down linemen line up on one side of the football before a snap- which forced the 'Stache to burn a time out to ask what in the blue hell was going on out there...???

Actually, the fans in the stands were asking the same question on both sides of the ball for the full 60 minutes- even moreso in the last 15 where the team that couldn't tackle or convert an important down-and-distance situation gave up a 2 touchdown lead and had to play a fifth period.

Coaches say the right things to make people feel better, but sometimes the Emperor needs that mirror just to prove that things aren't as they seem. Coach Chizik said the right things above, but when the team converted their first first down on a running play in overtime, all he did was have Frazier take the next set of downs to run to the middle of the field, summon Cody Parkey off the sidelines, and get out of Dodge...

Does that brim confidence in your quarterback to get a touchdown when you really need it in the future...???

You tell me... LSU might have your answer next Saturday night...

The obvious answer may come at season's end when everyone is gone from the coaching offices that harnessed a lightning bolt and won a title only two years ago. But in the interim, the entire Auburn coaching staff needs to issue an apology to their fan base for the display (or lack thereof) at home, against the Sun Belt Conference-toughened Louisiana-Monroe Warhawks.

(And who thought that would be a sentence that had to be written in back-to-back weeks in the Ess-E-Cee...?)

Second thing that needs to be done...???

Every starting position is now up for grabs... prove your worth, pay on Saturday...

Third thing... if I was on that coaching staff, having seen some disgusting displays of fundamentals (both physical and mental) at home...??? Take all the names off the backs of the jerseys...

Make the players earn them back...
And some may never do that...

But that goes back to the problem created Sunday through Friday, doesn't it...??? Anyone know the phone numbers to Todd Berry and Mario Cristobal around Christmas time...???

TWTW: Louisiana-Monroe Upsets Arkansas

((HT: ESPNU/youtube))

The Ess-E-Cee loses to teams in the Big 10/12 and the Sun Belt in the same day. The HQ is working on the other upsets and they'll be posted post-haste.

But the biggest one of the evening, after the Oregon State win over Wisconsin in Corvallis, is immediately the La-Monroe win at Arkansas.

Todd Berry and the Warhawks caused a lot of laughter amongst the stars with the 33-31 overtime win over John L. Smith and his Razorbacks. The last time something like this happened, Arkansas lost to The Citadel and Jack Crowe got fired the next day.

The jokes are already happening...

Can Petrino and Jessica Dorrell come back...? We'll give them their old jobs back and give them raises, too...

Watch the game highlights. (Thanks KTHV-TV, Little Rock, AR A $100 bet gave some lucky guy $5,750 in return and the Warhawks go back to Monroe $500,000 richer for their efforts. They did the same thing to Nick Saban a few years ago... remember the billboards that popped up...??? ULM QB Kolton Browning went 42-for-69 for 412 yards plus the game-winning score. And ULM also won time of possession by 18 minutes. The HQ will recap the injuries for Arkansas as well as we go forward... SUNDAY UPDATE: Courtesy of TodaysTHV.com
