This Saturday, the Louisiana-Monroe Warhawks are hoping to patch up the holes in a defense that has allowed an average of 35.33 points per matchup. The Warhawks and the South Alabama Jaguars will face off in a Sun Belt battle at 7 p.m. ET on Saturday at Hancock Whitney Stadium. South Alabama should still be feeling good after a win, while Louisiana-Monroe will be looking to regain their footing.
Louisiana-Monroe came up short against the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers last week, falling 28-21. No one had a standout game offensively for Louisiana-Monroe, but they got scores from WR Malik Jackson, WR Tyrone Howell, and TE Zach Rasmussen.
Meanwhile, it was all tied up 7-7 at the half for South Alabama and the Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns two weeks ago, but the Jaguars stepped up in the second half for a 20-17 victory. Like the Warhawks, South Alabama didn't have any clear offensive standouts, but QB Carter Bradley led the way with one touchdown.
Louisiana-Monroe is the clear underdog, so they're hoping it's the size of the fight that determines this one. Those who got lucky with them against the spread last week might want to hold off on placing bets this time since the team has yet to string together back-to-back wins against the spread.
Louisiana-Monroe is now 2-4 while South Alabama sits at 4-1. South Alabama is 2-1 after wins this year, and Louisiana-Monroe is 2-1 after losses.
