UL-Monroe has put SEC on alert with their 3 point loss to Auburn


UL-Monroe almost pull another upset since beating then No.8 Arkansas at their house. UL-Monroe to Auburn into overtime for a 31-28 loss.

The Tigers (1-2) stopped Kolton Browning and the Warhawks to start overtime, and Justin Manton's 37-yard field goal attempt was deflected by Angelo Blackson.

Then Tre Mason rushed for 10 yards, and Kiehl Frazier downed the ball on the next play to set up Parkey's winning kick.

The Warhawks (1-1) rallied from 28-7 down to shock Arkansas in overtime a week ago, a rare victory against the SEC. This one wouldn't have been that much of a shocker against struggling Auburn, which led 28-14 midway through the fourth quarter.

Browning threw two incompletions in overtime, overthrowing Je'Ron Hamm in the end zone on third down as he was hit by Dee Ford.

He went 28-of-46 passing for 237 yards and three touchdowns, two in the final 6:15. He also ran 14 times for 58 yards even if he couldn't duplicate his 412-yard passing performance against the Razorbacks.

UL-Monroe truly has put the SEC on alert that they too can win.

The Warhawks continues this weekend coming with another non-conference game against Baylor which is another national televised game at home for the Warhawks.
