Tulane beats UL-Monroe, 31-14

[Harry]

MONROE, La. -- The University of Louisiana at Monroes 70-7 loss to Baylor University last week was supposed to be the low point of the football season.

Somehow it got even worse Saturday night when the Warhawks dropped their final out-of-conference game of the season to Tulane University, 31-14.

It wasnt a blowout, but it was a game they should have won against a 2-2 Conference USA school that the Warhawks put 63 points on last season.

The same high-octane offense is supposed to be back with the exception of one receiver, a lineman and a tight end, but Louisiana-Monroe failed to show up for the fifth time in as many games this season.

"This was just a pathetic performance wasn't it?" Louisiana-Monroe head coach Todd Berry said. "Just sickening." "Ive done this for 31 years. Thats about the worst performance that I think Ive ever been around. Ive been around some bad teams before, but this one is supposed to be a good team."

Louisiana-Monroe quarterback Kolton Browning left the game in the third quarter with a lower body injury and was seen leaving the field on crutches without putting support on his left leg.

As disheartening as it is to lose the four-year starting quarterback, it may not have made a difference.
