Browning spurs La.-Monroe to upset of No. 8 Arkansas

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. -- Kolton Browning's 16-yard touchdown run on fourth-and-1 lifted Louisiana-Monroe to a 34-31 overtime win over No. 8 Arkansas last night in Little Rock.

Browning accounted for 481 yards of total offense and four touchdowns to lead the Warhawks (1-0) to their first win over an SEC team since defeating Alabama in 2007.

Louisiana-Monroe outgained Arkansas 550-377 in total yards.

The Razorbacks (1-1) played the second half without quarterback Tyler Wilson, who suffered a head injury after taking several big hits in the first half. Wilson, who also missed the second half against New Mexico last season with concussion-like symptoms, was 11-for-20 passing for 196 yards and a pair of touchdowns before leaving the game at halftime.

The Warhawks trailed 28-7 midway through the third quarter before rallying behind Browning, who found Brent Leonard for a 23-yard touchdown pass on fourth-and-10 with 55 seconds remaining in regulation to tie the game at 28-28.

Leonard had 11 catches for 112 yards receiving.

Browning was 42-for-67 passing for 412 yards passing, and he had 69 yards rushing on 16 carries -- his last the winding, winning scramble in overtime around and through the Arkansas defense.

The Razorbacks led 28-7 midway through the third quarter after freshman quarterback Brandon Allen connected with MeKale McKay for a 13-yard touchdown. Allen, filling in for the injured Wilson, finished 6-for-20 passing for 85 yards.

The Razorbacks had little offense after that, though they managed to take a 34-31 lead in overtime after a 37-yard field goal by Zach Hocker.-- AP
