ULM notches another home win

Redshirt freshman quarterback Kolton Browning threw for a school-record five touchdown passes as ULM defeated North Texas, 49-37, on Saturday afternoon (Nov. 20) at Malone Stadium. Browning finished 18-of-23 for 247 yards passing and also had 73 rushing yards as the Warhawks have now won nine of their last 10 home games.

Senior running back Frank Goodin led the Warhawks with 75 rushing yards on 17 carries and a touchdown. Redshirt freshman Jyruss Edwards rushed 13 times for 63 yards and a touchdown.

Junior Luther Ambrose had a game-high 140 yards receiving on seven catches with a pair of touchdowns as the Warhawks have a chance next week to become bowl eligible for the third time in four seasons.

North Texas received the opening kickoff and took an early three-point lead on a 22-yard field goal by Zach Olen. The Mean Green went 62 yards in 12 plays on the opening drive of the game, taking 5:24 off the clock.

Following a ULM turnover, North Texas increased its lead to 6-0 with another Olen field goal. The Mean Green took over on the Warhawk 34-yard line and moved down to the 6-yard line before the drive stalled and North Texas had to settle for another field goal.

ULM answered on the ensuing drive as Browning found freshman Je'Ron Hamm for 48 yards down the middle for a touchdown to give the Warhawks a lead on the final play of the first quarter. The touchdown reception was the first for Hamm in his career.

North Texas regained the lead on the first play from scrimmage as Lance Dunbar went 83 yards off the left side of the line for a Mean Green touchdown.

A 54-yard kick return by Edwards set the Warhawks up with good field position on the following drive. ULM needed just five plays to go 40 yards to regain the lead, 14-13, with 12:48 to play in the second quarter. Goodin capped the scoring drive with an 8-yard touchdown run up the middle.

The Warhawks increased their advantage following a Mean Green punt, going 59 yards in 13 plays for a touchdown. Browning found Ambrose on a crossing pattern from 10 yards out for the score.

The 8-point lead was short lived as Brelan Chancellor took the ensuing kickoff back 91 yards for a North Texas touchdown to trim the ULM lead back to 21-20.

North Texas scored again 20 seconds before the intermission to regain the lead. Riley Dodge found Jamaal Jackson in the end zone from 10 yards out to give the Mean Green a 27-21 lead at halftime. A would-be North Texas fourth down was averted when a ULM penalty caused a third down replay and kept the Mean Green drive alive.

On the opening drive of the second half, ULM claimed the lead back as Browning found Goodin for a 3-yard touchdown. The key play on the 13-play, 67-yard drive was a 23-yard scramble for a first down by Browning on a 4th-and-2 at the North Texas 31-yard line. The play was the second fourth down conversion of the drive.

Both offenses slowed for most of the remained of the quarter before a North Texas turnover set-up ULM with good field position.

ULM capitalized on the North Texas fumble to take an eight-point lead early in the fourth quarter. The Mean Green fumble gave the Warhawks the ball on the North Texas 47-yard line. Edwards capped the 47-yard drive with the score from a yard out to give ULM a 35-27 advantage.

A 45-yard field goal by Olen on the next Mean Green possession cut the Warhawks led to five, 35-30, with 9:23 to play in the fourth quarter.

The Warhawks struck back just three plays later when Browning connected with Ambrose for 53 yards and a score to push the lead to 12. The 3-play, 71-yard drive took just 85 seconds.

Less than a minute later, North Texas responded with a 41-yard screen pass for a touchdown from Dodge to Darius Carey, cutting the ULM lead to 42-37 with just over seven minutes to play.

ULM again answered the North Texas score as Browning hooked up with senior Rodney Lovett for his fifth touchdown pass of the day. The score gave the Warhawks a 49-37 lead with 2:52 remaining in the fourth quarter.

Senior safety Alex Ibe sealed the victory for ULM with an interception on the next drive for North Texas as the Warhawks improved to 4-0 this season at Malone Stadium.

Dunbar ran for a game-high 134 yards on 19 carries for North Texas while Dodge was 14-of-26 passing for 164 yards and a pair of touchdowns.

The Warhawks will be back in Malone Stadium next Saturday (Nov. 27) when they host UL Lafayette in the regular season finale. Game time against the Ragin' Cajuns is set for 2:30 p.m.
