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.
