Blake Murphy threw a 51-yard scoring strike to NyNy Davis to pull the Warhawks within 31-14 at halftime.
Derek McCormick kicked two field goals and Hunter Smith followed with a 20-yard touchdown run. Bugs Mortimer ran it in for the two-point conversion and the Warhawks trailed 31-28 with 6:52 left to play.
Lou Tillery picked off Brin on the Eagles’ next possession, giving ULM the ball at its own 11-yard line. Davis scored off his interception two plays later.
Brin completed 20 of 36 passes for 240 yards with two interceptions for the Eagles. White rushed for 164 yards on 26 carries. Khaleb Hood hauled in eight passes for 98 yards.
