Arial;color:black'> pretty much had to play a perfect game to have a shot at
competing with Auburn.
The
class=SpellE>Warhawks did not.
Penalties-three
in the first quarter and six in the first half-, and several big plays, put
them in an early hole and they never recovered in a 52-3 pounding by the
then-10th-ranked Tigers.
style='mso-spacerun:yes'> "I don't know what it was, if it was crowd
noise, or they just didn't get the calls, or they couldn't hear me,"
class=GramE>coach Todd Berry said. "It happens, but we can't have that
every week."
The
class=SpellE>Warhawks couldn't generate any rushing, ending up with only
38 yards net on the ground.

class=SpellE>Kolton Browning threw for 203 yards, completing 25 of
his 33 pass attempts. He wasn't intercepted, but he was sacked three times for
16 yards in losses.
"We came out,
and we prepared well all week as far as what we wanted to do offensively,"
Browning said. "I felt like we were able to move the ball fairly well, but
penalties killed us this game. The
offensive line was doing pretty well for us, as far as giving me time to throw
the quick game, like we did. I think we need to get more balanced, and produce
a running game."
The loss was
the second for the Warhawks against an SEC team this
year. They opened with a 31-7 setback at Arkansas.
They now get
back home to face Sun Belt colleague Florida Atlantic in their next game.

style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:black'> Browning became the
first ULM quarterback

267 against Arkansas
w:st="on">State, 249 against Southeastern Louisiana and 203

we play our responsibilities and cut out the penalties, we're a good defense. I
