2020 HOME OPENER –
Texas State 38, ULM 16 (Sept. 19, 2020): ULM gave up too much, too early and couldn't claw back Saturday night, Sept. 19, at Malone Stadium.

The Warhawks spotted Texas State a 17-point first-half lead and dropped a 38-17 decision in their home and Sun Belt Conference opener.

ULM (0-2, 0-1) slowed Texas State over the final two quarters and quarterback Colby Suits enjoyed a breakout performance in his second collegiate start. But Texas State's early offensive onslaught was too much to make up.

Suits completed 35-of-53 passes for 377 yards and two touchdowns and hit 11 different receivers in a solid outing. His 35 completions tied the sixth-highest single-game total in ULM history.

However, the Warhawks came up with just three points on three red-zone trips in the second half that could have helped them reverse course.

ULM wasn't able to get star running back Josh Johnson untracked as he finished with 51 yards on 17 carries. ULM gained just 67 yards on the ground.

Texas State quarterback Tyler Vitt was a dual threat on this night with 256 passing yards and 82 on the ground as his team attacked early. Jeremiah Haydel was his top target with six catches for 152 yards and two touchdowns.

Texas State opened the game with an 85-yard drive to go up 7-0 with 11:21 left in the first quarter. Calvin Hill's 4-yard touchdown run finished a 10-play drive that included a 36-yard completion from Vitt to Marcell Barbee, a ball tipped by ULM cornerback Corey Straughter before the catch.

Junior receiver Jevin Frett introduced himself to the locals with a 20-yard touchdown catch from Suits to tie the game with 2:52 left in the first quarter. The seven-play, 40-yard drive followed a defensive stop that saw buck safety Keilos Swinney register a sack with a forced fumble that led to a punt after the big third-down play.

Texas State answered with a 32-yard touchdown pass from Vitt to Haydel and regained the lead at 14-7 with 42 seconds to go in the first. The Bobcats needed 2:09 to cover 75 yards in six plays.

ULM and Texas State traded miscues early in the second quarter, with the advantage going to the visitors.

ULM's Jahquan Bloomfield recovered a fumble off a punt at the Texas State 28 with 14:46 left in the second quarter. But on the first play of the ensuing series, Johnson lost a fumble recovered by the Bobcats and returned 18 yards out to the Texas State 38.

Texas State turned the turnover into points and a 21-7 lead by marching 62 yards in seven plays. Vitt, who had a 21-yard run on the drive, finished with an 8-yard touchdown scramble.
ULM's next drive ended with a turnover on downs as Johnson was stuffed and fumbled on fourth-and-1 from the Warhawks 45. The Bobcats moved into scoring position and led 24-7 after Seth Keller's 40-yard field goal with 6:17 to go before the half.

The Warhawks pulled within 24-10 with 1:34 left in the second quarter after a successful 11-play, 75-yard drive. Suits, who completed 7-of-9 passes for 68 yards on the march rolled out right and found Chandler Whitfield on third-and-goal for a 5-yard score. The touchdown was a career-first for the red-shirt freshman receiver.

Texas State, which had scored 17 unanswered points before ULM's touchdown, struck again on its next offensive play with a 75-yard touchdown pass from Vitt to Haydel and carried a 31-14 lead to the locker room at halftime.

Vitt passed for 233 yards and two scores in the half while Haydel had five catches for 145 yards and two touchdowns.

After 45 total points in the opening half, the second half didn't deliver as many fireworks for either team but for ULM, it was all about a comeback that didn't quite materialize.

A personal foul by the Bobcats on a punt return set up ULM at the Texas State 38 for its second series of the third quarter. Facing fourth-and-7 from the 11, Davis Hughes kicked a 28-yard field goal to pull ULM within 14 points at 31-17 at the 8:42 mark.

ULM kept Texas State scoreless in the third quarter and outgained Texas State, 112 to 19, to keep itself within striking distance but couldn't convert on fourth-and-8 from the Bobcats' 16 on the second play of the final period as a 13-play, 72-yard drive fizzled on an incomplete pass.

Down by 14 points, ULM's last meaningful offensive series started at its own 3 with 4:29 left in the game. The Warhawks converted a fourth-and-17 from the 31 on a 19-yard pass from Suits to Josh Pederson. But again, ULM came up empty as cornerback Jarron Morris intercepted Suits in the end zone and returned it 100 yards for a final touchdown.

BOOGIE ON THE BAYOU –
In his ULM debut, Boogie Knight matched his career high with six receptions for 58 yards in the 2021 season opener at Kentucky. Four of his catches resulted in first downs, including third-down grabs of 14 and 15 yards from Rhett Rodriguez on ULM's first scoring drive (12 plays for 43 yards).

Knight, a transfer from Akron, previously set career highs for receptions (6) and receiving yards (121) against Eastern Michigan in 2019.

Rodriguez completed 9-of-17 passes for 56 yards and was sacked four times in the season opener at Kentucky on Sept. 4.

Bobby and Terry became the first father-son combo to serve as head coaches at the NCAA Division I level at the same time while Bobby and Tommy became the first father-son combo ever to coach against each other as head coaches. In a feat likely never to be duplicated, all three Bowden coaches went undefeated and were named National Coach of the Year in the same decade (1990s: Terry, Auburn, 1993; and Tommy, Tulane, 1998; Bobby, Florida State, 1999).

STAN HUMPHRIES NAMED HONORARY CAPTAIN FOR HOME OPENER –
Stan Humphries, who quarterbacked then-Northeast Louisiana to a 13-2 record en route to the 1987 NCAA I-AA National Championship, has been selected to serve as honorary captain for Saturday's home opener against Jackson State.

During his senior year, Humphries led an offense that was nearly unstoppable, averaging better than 30 points and nearly 415 yards total offense per game. He threw for 2,622 yards and 22 touchdowns during the 1987 regular season and added another 1,397 yards and 11 TDs in four playoff victories. Humphries finished with a school single-season record 4,019 passing yards to go along with 29 TD passes.

A two-year starter for Coach Pat Collins, Humphries still ranks among ULM's all-time Top 10 in passing yards per game (second at 241.3 ypg.), TD passes (sixth with 40), passing yards (seventh at 5,792), passing efficiency (seventh with a 127.1 rating), pass completions (eighth at 387) and pass attempts (eighth at 747).

The Shreveport, Louisiana, native was selected by the Washington Redskins in the sixth round of the 1988 NFL Draft. Humphries started 81 of 88 career games over eight seasons in the NFL while playing for the Washington Redskins (1989-90) and San Diego Chargers (1992-97). He led the Chargers to three playoff appearances, including a trip to Super Bowl XXIX. Humphries closed out his pro career with 17,191 passing yards and 89 TDs.

TEAMMATES HONOR KIRBY ARCENEAUX WITH PLAQUE TO COMMEMORATE FIRST TD SCORED IN MALONE STADIUM –
Prior to Saturday's home opener, a plaque was dedicated in the southeast corner of the end zone to commemorate the first touchdown scored in Malone Stadium during the inaugural 1978 season. Quarterback Kirby Arceneaux scored on a 73-yard run into the south end zone as then-Northeast Louisiana posted a 21-13 victory over Arkansas State on September 16, 1978.

Arceneaux went on to lead NLU to a 6-4-1 record that season, including shutout victories over Northwestern State and Louisiana Tech. It marked the school's first winning season as an NCAA Division I program.

The permanent plaque was dedicated by his teammates.
