TUSCALOOSA, Alabama — Eight years later, Alabama will get another crack at Louisiana-Monroe.

The Crimson Tide added the Sun Belt Conference team to the 2015 football schedule, UA confirmed Wednesday afternoon. TideSports.com was the first to report the arrangement.

The two last met in 2007 in one of the more infamous losses in recent Alabama history. The Warhawks came to Bryant-Denny Stadium to take a 21-14 win in Nick Saban's first season with Alabama.

Louisiana-Monroe beat Arkansas in 2012 when the Razorbacks were the No. 8 team in the country. Last season the Warhawks finished 6-6 with a 34-0 loss to Oklahoma and a 70-7 loss at Baylor four weeks later.

The only other non-conference game currently on the books for Alabama's 2015 season is the opener. The Tide will face Wisconsin in Dallas on the first weekend of the season.
