UL Monroe upsets Liberty, 31-28 on late 53-yard field goal

MONROE, La. (AP) — Calum Sutherland kicked a career-long 53-yard field goal with under two minutes to play and Mark Williams preserved the victory with an interception as Louisiana-Monroe upset Liberty, 31-28 on Saturday night.

The Flames came into the game on a three-game win streak and were a 32-point favorite to win. Malik Willis ran for a touchdown and threw for another to stake Liberty to a 14-0 lead at halftime, but the Warhawks roared back by scoring 28 straight points in the third quarter.

Chandler Rogers threw a 12-yard touchdown pass to Andrew Henry to open the third and a 14-yard strike to Zach Rasmussen. In between, Abraham Alce punched in from the 1 and Henry bolted 40 yards for a score.

Liberty rallied in the fourth quarter to tie the game at 28 after Shedro Louis ran for a score and Willis raced 53 yards to even the game with 7:49 left to play.
