ULM Uses Fourth-Quarter Rally To Edge Louisiana, 21-17

[NewsCopy]

ULM's Warhawks scored two fourth-quarter touchdowns and held Louisiana's Ragin' Cajuns on a final drive to take a 21-17 victory Saturday at Malone Stadium, snapping a 16-game Cajun winning streak against Sun Belt Conference West Division opponents.

The Ragin' Cajuns (2-2, 0-1 Sun Belt), losers of two straight for the first time since the final two games of the 2018 season, scored on their first two possessions of the game to take a 14-7 lead. But two turnovers and two crucial mistakes on bad snaps in the kicking game proved to be the difference as the host Warhawks (2-2, 1-0 Sun Belt) won over UL at home for the first time in nine meetings dating back to 2004.

The Cajuns had also won 13 straight Sun Belt regular-season road games and hadn't lost a regular-season conference game since Oct. 14, 2020, when they fell 30-27 at home to Coastal Carolina. UL had won 13 straight regular-season conference games before Saturday's loss.

The Cajuns, who had also won their last four and eight of their last 10 against the Warhawks, held a 17-7 lead midway through the second quarter on Preston Stafford's 28-yard field goal. But UL's last eight possessions ended with two bad snaps on a field goal attempt and a punt, an interception and five punts.

“Uses fourth quarter rally”?
No, they sucked a little less than we did the entire game.

“Uses fourth quarter rally”?
No, they sucked a little less than we did the entire game.

ULM was a lot worse for almost the entire game.

They had "2" "TWO" good runs and a were given a gift inside the 10.

Otherwise they go home with a goose egg on the score board.

I agree with you about the silliness of calling it a rally though.
