ULM Warhawks

The ULM defense set the tone early forcing LSU into a three-and-out and just nine combined yards on its first two possessions of the game. However, Ron Brooks took the first of two interceptions by LSU in the first half 32 yards for a touchdown on ULM's second drive of the game.

LSU had four scoring drives of less than 20 yards in the game and two others that were 58 and 50 yards. ULM held LSU to just 173 total yards through three quarters and 251 total yards for the game.

Josh Jasper put the Tigers (9-1, 5-1 SEC) up 13-0 with field goals of 52 yards and 45 yards on back-to-back possessions at the end of the first quarter. A 1-yard run by Stevan Ridley followed an 85-yard interception return by Patrick Peterson which set the Tigers up on the ULM 12-yard line.

The Warhawks (4-6, 3-3 Sun Belt) had their deepest penetration of the half on the ensuing possession as they took the ball down to the LSU 28-yard line before turning the ball over on downs. Following another three-and-out by the ULM defense, LSU recovered a Warhawk fumble on the ULM 23-yard line. After gaining only two yards, Jasper connected on a 29-yard field goal to give the Tigers a 23-0 lead at the break.

ULM quarterback Kolton Browning saw his consecutive game streak with at least 200 yards passing come to an end at eight games after finishing 8-for-17 for 61 yards before leaving the game late in the third quarter. His eight-game streak tied Stan Humphries for the ULM school record. The redshirt freshman moved into sixth place on the ULM single-season completions list (199) on the night.

Jyruss Edwards led the Warhawks on the ground rushing for 49 yards on five carries, while Luther Ambrose had a pair of catches for 21 yards -- his second catch of the night was the 100^th of his career.

LSU put the game out of reach with two touchdowns over a 15-second span in the third quarter. Ridley scored from seven yards out and Lavar Edwards returned a ULM fumble 29 yards for a touchdown on ULM's first play of the ensuing drive to push the LSU lead out to 37-0.

LSU's two-quarterback system of Jarrett Lee and Jordan Jefferson combined to complete 8-of-22 passes for only 95 yards. Ridley led the Tigers on the ground with 67 yards on 14 carries.

The Warhawks return home next weekend as they play host to North Texas (3-7, 3-4). Kickoff is scheduled for 2:30 p.m. in Malone Stadium where the Warhawks have won eight of their last nine games.
