MONROE -- The Battle of the Bayou was a bust for Louisiana-Monroe. Louisiana-Lafayette rushed for 343 yards Saturday at Malone Stadium to crush ULM's bowl hopes in a 54-21 rout. The Indians (5-6, 5-2 in the Sun Belt) could have won the Sun Belt Conference title outright and earned a spot in the New Orleans Bowl at Lafayette with a win. But freshman running back Tyrell Fenroy rushed for 164 yards and three touchdowns on 20 attempts as ULL (6-5, 5-2) claimed a share of the Sun Belt Conference championship. The last winning season for ULL was 1995. ULM, ULL and Arkansas State ended the regular season as tri-champions in the Sun Belt.

ULM was 5-2 in the Sun Belt but did not win the six games required to become bowl eligible by the NCAA. The rest of the story By Paul J. Letlow La. Gannett News pletlow@thenewsstar.com
