LYNCHBURG, Va. – ULM stumbled into a Liberty ambush on Saturday and staggered out of Williams Stadium on the wrong end of a 40-7 decision.
Overall, ULM's punt team surrendered three touchdowns on a dropped punt, a blocked punt and a punt return, and gave up a lengthy return that set up another score.
"The punt team has really been an unbelievable thing," ULM coach Matt Viator said.
The Warhawks clearly aren't early birds this season. With an 11 a.m. CST kickoff for the nationally-televised contest on ESPN2, ULM (0-5) trailed 14-0 after one quarter and 24-0 by halftime as the offense faltered and special teams made costly blunders.
