That 1996 game was a stinker. We took an easy 7-0 lead, then just went in the toilet, on offense. A field goal just before half. A field goal in the 3rd to pull within one point. The Indians had a veteran senior quarterback named Philyaw (can't remember his first name), and we were getting torched, with itty-bitty corners. That, and Jimmy Brumbaugh and Charles Dorsey were having to play every snap on the D-line. True freshman end Leonardo Carson would OCCASIONALLY get relief, from true freshman Ezell Powell. That was all the scholarship linemen we had, two sophomores, and two true freshmen.

NE Louisiana scored in the 4th, to make it 21-13. We answered, with a TD and a two-point conversion. The Indians got it inside the Auburn ten yard line with something like two minutes left, but a miracle tackle by Jimmy Brumbaugh on the one, pulling Philyaw down before he could score, kept Monroe out of the endzone. They kicked a field goal, to lead 24-21.

Dameyune Craig and the shotgun offense roared down the field, and Craig hit Kevin McCloud on a 6 yard screen pass for the win.

I remember that 1994 game, too. I had just re-arranged the furniture in the living room, and had discovered that my coffee table blocked the bottom third of the TV. That game was a 6:00 kick-off on pay-per-view.

In the old analog cable days, I had somehow (ahem) come into possession of a kit of inline filters and V-traps. It was a race to figure out which trap to screw in to get the Auburn game, before the kickoff...

In the 1994 game, I remember Fred Beasley getting his first playing time, and touchdown. The Indians got one touchdown on a really cool roll-out, then throw it 50 yards back across the field to a back on a screen pass. Auburn was totally bamboozled...

I do remember that 96 ULM game. That was back in their NE-LA days though. I remember Kevin McLoud busting a run (or reception, can't remember) late in the ballgame to ice it, but we had to worry till the end.

Actually, Dameyune's superhuman ability aside, that was the beginning of the end for Bowden in my opinion.

That, or giving up 51 points to floriduh that year...
