posted E-mail Story E-mail Story | Print Story Print Story 
ULM's 1987 national championship football team will be inducted into the ULM Athletic Hall of Fame this fall, Director of Athletics Bobby Staub announced Monday.

The induction ceremony will take place during the ULM-Florida Atlantic football game scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 13, at Malone Stadium.

"This is a most deserving honor, and we're extremely excited to recognize the 1987 team on the 25th anniversary of their memorable season," Staub said.

Under the direction of head coach Pat Collins, ULM finished with a 13-2 record in 1987 and defeated Marshall 43-42 in the title game to earn its second national championship in school history.

Quarterback Stan Humphries threw the game-winning touchdown with 7:19 remaining against the Thundering Herd. The ULM defense stopped a pair of Marshall drives in the final minutes to seal the victory.

ULM defeated North Texas, Eastern Kentucky and Northern Iowa in playoff games leading to the national championship contest.
