This is the same school that pulled an OT upset over the mighty BCS wanna-be Frogs in 2001 though.

Yes, but with a new coach. Their old coach who beat TCU(same day we lost to Tech at Texas Stadium in '01) is now the coach at Arkansas St. I swear that NWsLa team has some football mojo. We couldn't hardly beat them in the SLC(4-6) including losing 4 straight during some of our more exciting years in the late 80's.

NW has a defensive end who was a starter at South Carolina last year who transferred in after getting in trouble.

Northwestern State 27, Louisiana-Monroe 23

MONROE, La. (AP) — Davon Vinson threw three touchdown passes and Northwestern State rallied from a 23-point deficit, humiliating Charlie Weatherbie and Louisiana-Monroe 27-23 Thursday night in the season opener for both teams.

Vinson completed 15 of 23 passes for 230 yards, and rushed for 81 more yards.

The outcome was in doubt until late in the fourth quarter when NSU's defense, led by a pass interception by David Pittman in the end zone and a fumble recovery by Russ Washington with just over 1:30 to play, helped seal the win.

ULM's Steven Jyles completed 25 of 41 passes for 283 yards and a touchdown. His only interception came late in the game by Pittman.

Louisiana-Monroe finished with 411 total offensive yards, while NSU had 353.

The Indians led 23-0 at the half.

Calvin Dawson scored on a 3-yard run and ULM moved out to a 9-0 lead when it recovered Anthony Holmes' fumble in the end zone for a safety with 12:23 to play.

Louisiana-Monroe's Steven Jyles threw a 45-yard touchdown pass to D. Quillen, stretching the lead to 16-0, and ULM intercepted a pass from Vinson at the 34 yard line and returned it for a score and a 23-0 lead.

Vinson threw an 85-yard scoring pass to Toby Zeigler late in the third quarter and found Brent Smith with another scoring pass 1:13 later.

Shelton Sampson scored on a 2-yard run with 11:16 left in the fourth quarter, and Vinson completed the comeback with a a 37-yard scoring pass to Dane Charpentier.

They had nearly 20,000 for attendance according to the Delphi Indian board. Brings back our FAU game last year for me. From the way it sounds they had better keep the sharp objects locked up for a while over there. Yuk!

We had 21,734 at the game. That sucks cause I don't know if they will be back. We decided to cruise after being up 23-0 at the half and they made us pay for it. I'm SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO depressed. Sorry guys, we embarrased the belt.

Hey, we still complain about games that took place 20 years ago. Never too late to take a shot at TCU, SMU, UT, name school that has wronged us in some way....

Got5onIt · September 2, 2005

This is not good, for ULM and the Belt. I'm very disappointed the Indians couldn't plaster a IAA school like one would hope.

it's upsetting yes, but did we "embarrass" the belt last year when we dropped an egg against FAU?

IMHO, its releveant enough that I hope NT never schedules any 1-AA schools in the future, particulaly NW State (LA).
