If you skipped the Saturday game, you missed a close one. ULM took down Arkansas State 19-17 in Jonesboro after Abram Murray kicked a 40-yard field goal with 1:49 left. Gavin Howard then intercepted Trey Owens with a minute to go. It's the ' second straight win over the Red Wolves, who had won the previous 15 before last season's 28-16 ULM win in Monroe.

KNOE says the Warhawks rushed for two touchdowns on the way to the Rice Bowl trophy. Arkansas Online reports it was ULM's first win at Centennial Bank Stadium since 2001. "It's a line of scrimmage game and we weren't able to stop the run," ASU coach Butch Jones said afterward.

  • Record: 2-7 overall, 2-3 in the Sun Belt
  • Season start: 0-6, now two wins in the last three games
  • Time of possession: ULM 35:32, Arkansas State 24:24
