Sun Belt Recap

After a thrilling OT victory over Western Kentucky Saturday, Louisiana-Monroe stands alone atop the Sun Belt at 3-0.  Thanks to 4 TD passes by QB Kawaun Jakes (25-32/308y), the Hilltoppers took a 28-7 2nd Q lead.  But ULM rallied behind stud QB Kolton Browning, who also threw for 308y and 4 TDs, tying game at 35 with 31 seconds left in regulation on a 12y TD pass to frosh WR Rashon Ceasar.  Both teams scored OT TDs on QB keepers but the Warhawks went for two after theirs and scored on another Browning-to-Ceasar hookup to win game.
Five teams are currently tied for second place behind ULM at 2-1, including two teams meeting tonight, Louisiana-Lafayette and Arkansas State.  The home team is 11-1 in that series, which greatly favors the Ragin' Cajuns. Arkansas state did score 34 against Oregon in game 1, but the majority of that was compiled against second and third teamers.
