Murray kicks 40-yard FG, Howard has game-sealing interception as UL Monroe
edges Arkansas State
JONESBORO, Ark. (AP) --- Abram Murray kicked a 40-yard field goal with 1:49
remaining and Gavin Howard had a game-sealing interception with a minute to go
as UL Monroe took down Arkansas State 19-17 on Saturday.
The Warhawks (2-7, 2-3 Sun Belt Conference) won their second straight against
Arkansas State (4-5, 2-3), which had won the previous 15 before last season's
28-16 ULM win in Monroe.
Austin Carlisle led the Warhawks ground attack with 111 rushing yards on 19
carries, and Don Chaney added 68 on 12. Carlisle also completed all four of his
passing attempts for 31 yards.
Taking over with just under six minutes remaining after an Arkansas State field
goal made it 17-16, the Warhawks marched down the field in seven plays and ran
off almost four minutes of clock to set up Murray's 40-yarder.
Arkansas State took over and got to their own 44-yard line before Howard
intercepted a Trey Owens pass.
ULM picked up the one first down they needed to secure the win.
Owens was 16-of-29 passing for 193 yards and a touchdown, connecting with
Jaylen Bonelli on three passes for 66 yards. He threw two interceptions and
fumbled once.
Up next
UL Monroe: vs. Louisiana-Lafayette on Thursday.
Arkansas State: at Coastal Carolina next Saturday.
