MONROE, La. – ULM was in a rush to turn the page when the team hit the field on Saturday.

Running back Josh Johnson ran 20 times for 168 yards and two touchdowns as the Warhawks knocked off Georgia State 45-31 at Malone Stadium.

"I was proud of the players," ULM coach Matt Viator said. "I was proud of the energy that we came out with."

Johnson recorded his fifth 100-yard game of the season while becoming ULM's first 1,000-yard rusher since Frank Goodin (219 rushes for 1,126 yards and 13 TDs) in 2009.
