2016 Game 5 Louisana-Monroe

The 2-2 Tigers are a 30 point plus favorite at home against Monroe with a 2:30 kickoff on homecoming.  I don't like games like this especially at homecoming because historically the Tigers win though they slop around (as I put it).  Let's win and not junk it up.

FIRST QUARTER

ULM receives and after one first down punt to the AU 30.
The Tigers drive 70 yards for the touchdown mainly on the ground.
On third and goal from the 3 White rolls right and dives into the end zone.
By golly we score a touchdown in the red zone.

Auburn 7  ULM 0

ULM goes 3 and out after a punt return by Marcus Davis to midfield our offense can't complete passes and we miss a 56 yd field goal attempt that is partially blocked.   Our passing game is still not there.  Neither is the offense as a whole actually.
The War Hawks complete a third pass into Auburn territory but have to punt from the AU 45.
The punt stops dead at the Auburn 9.
After Kerryon Johnson runs us out to the 35 Sean White is dropped and fumbles the ball away at the 21.
On the first play ULM fumbles it back to us!
AU is at their 17.
KJ runs to the 39.  He is running HARD.
From the War Hawk 48 White hits Kyle Davis for the touchdown.  He was WIDE open.  We need explosive plays like that.

Auburn 14 ULM 0

ULM makes one first down across the 35 but we push them back to the 28 where they punt.
Marcus Davis takes the punt at the 28.
The quarter after White keeps the ball after a fake for 7 yards.

SECOND QUARTER

The Tigers move sharply to a first down at the 11.
KJ runs to the 7.
KJ runs to the 1 and a first down.
Second snap from there and Kerryon walks into the end zone.

Auburn 21 ULM 0

ULM drives to a 42 yard FG attempt but Montravious Adams blocks it!
From their 39 after the block the Tigers complete some passes and with Kerryon Johnson carrying the mail the Tigers march into the end zone.  The score comes on 2 yard untouched run by KJ.  The Tigers are in command so far in this one.

Auburn 28 ULM 0

Despite the lead we let the War Hawks drive down the field with the big play being a long pass completion.
All the way to the 6 yard line.
First down with 12 seconds left to the 3.
With 2 seconds left from the 2 the pass is complete for the touchdown.
That was a struggle as the Tigers did try to preserve the shutout but it didn't happen

Auburn 28 ULM 7

Auburn dominated the first half except for the last 4 minutes.  We receive to start the second half. Can our offense assert itself?
Yes!
From their 12 the Tigers drive quickly the score coming on a 48 strike to Tony Stevens.  Kerryon had some nice gains during that drive.

Auburn 35 ULM 7

After a three and out the Tigers start at their 24
The Tigers march down the field for the touchdown again.  Stevens makes another big catch.
Malik runs it in from the 4.  So far the offense is great in the second half.

Auburn 42 ULM 7

After one first down we get the ball on our 15.
John Franklin III comes in.
On the second play from the 20 Franklin takes it to the house after the fake.  Once he gets to the line scrimmage he explodes down the ride side.  He is an electric player.  That was fun to watch.  He is fast, fast, fast.

Auburn 49 ULM 7

There's a big interception down the field by Javarius Davis!
The Tigers have the ball back at their 25.
Again the Tigers drive impressively.
Franklin III delivers a 39 yard TD pass to Nate Craig-Myers.  Great pass by Franklin.

Auburn 56 ULM 7

The quarter ends with ULM at their 45 with a first down.

FOURTH QUARTER

The War Hawks drive to the Auburn 13 but the 4th down pass is incomplete.
The Tigers drive inside the minute mark and inside the ULM one yard line with #30 a senior last name Lewis, but on 4th down he is stopped just short of the goal line.  Too bad!  It would have been a feel good moment for the this senior to have scored.  Oh, well.  That was an 11 play drive but no points running out much of the quarter.
There is a fumbled snap and the Tigers get a safety!  The safety is by Gary Walker whose father also played for Auburn.  I remember the name.

Auburn 58 ULM 7

The Tigers rush for over 400 yards.  The Tigers were ready today.  This game could hardly have gone any better.  Lots of guys got on the field.  Now on to StarkVegas next week.  Game over.  The Tigers look good winning 58 to 7.
