SAN MARCOS, Texas – ULM needed a workmanlike effort to win on Thursday night.
A workhorse running back and a resilient defense was there to carry the load.
With a national audience on ESPNU watching, Josh Johnson rushed for 114 yards and scored two touchdowns to help the Warhawks to a 24-14 win over Texas State at Bobcat Stadium.
"Anytime you win in this conference it's tough," ULM coach Matt Viator said. "But you go win on the road, in the short week and these circumstances, I'm really proud of our players and our coaches for putting it together in a short week and getting this done.
