FIRST-AND-10 –
• After a bye week, the ULM Warhawks return to Malone Stadium for another two-game homestand, starting at 7 p.m. Saturday against App State. ULM is 2-1 after a 47-3 loss at Texas A&M on Sept. 16, while App State is 2-2 coming off a 22-19 loss last Saturday at Wyoming.
 
• App State leads the all-time series against ULM, 6-1, with all seven meetings coming since the Mountaineers joined the Sun Belt Conference prior to the 2014 season. ULM's only win in series history was a 52-45 victory on Nov. 4, 2017, in Malone Stadium. App State has won the last three meetings in the series, including the last meeting, 59-28, on Oct. 30, 2021, in Boone, North Carolina, and the last meeting in Monroe, 31-13, on Oct. 31, 2020. Saturday's game marks the first-ever meeting between ULM and App State in the month of September.
 
• ULM enters its 22nd season of Sun Belt competition with an 8-14 record (.363) in league openers. The Warhawks are 5-5 in their last 10 conference openers. Saturday's game marks the first time ULM has opened SBC play against App State.
 
• Through three games, ULM continues to value the football. The Warhawks rank tied for third in the NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision and tied for first in the Sun Belt Conference (Georgia State) with just two turnovers lost this season. As a result, ULM is seventh nationally and leads the SBC in turnover margin at +1.67 turnovers per game.
 
• In addition to valuing the football, ULM continues to play disciplined football. The Warhawks are seventh in FBS and lead the Sun Belt Conference in fewest penalty yards (120) and eighth in FBS and second in the SBC in fewest penalties (14). On a per-game basis, ULM still ranks as one of the top teams in FBS, sitting 23rd nationally and third in the SBC at 4.67 penalties per game and 29th in FBS and second in the SBC at 40.0 penalty yards per game.
 
• ULM's 2023 roster features one player from the state of North Carolina in junior defensive end Joseph Bakhole (Charlotte/Myers Park).
 
• ULM's revamped running back room has rushed for over 100 yards in each of the first three games of 2023. Sophomore Hunter Smith leads the way with 22 carries for 220 yards and two touchdowns despite seeing just two carries for 16 yards against Texas A&M on Sept. 16. Graduate student Isaiah Woullard has toted the ball 30 times for 185 yards. The duo combined for 214 of ULM's 285 rushing yards against Lamar on Sept. 9. Smith and Woullard have combined for 405 of ULM's 619 rushing yards through three games. Woullard ranks fourth in the SBC and 27th in FBS at 6.17 yards per carry.
 
• Graduate student Tyrone Howell leads ULM's receiving corps through three games. Howell has 15 receptions for 172 yards (11.5 yards per catch) with one touchdown. He is tied for fifth in the Sun Belt Conference with 5.0 receptions per game and is 12th in the conference with 57.3 receiving yards per game.
 
• Junior linebacker Michael Batton paces ULM's defense through the first three contests with 25 tackles (9 solos, 16 assists) and is averaging 8.3 tackles per game, which ranks seventh in the Sun Belt Conference. Four other Warhawks join Batton in the Top 50 tacklers in the SBC. Graduate student linebacker Ja'Terious Evans is 24th at 19 tackles (5 solos, 14 assists) and 6.3 tackles per game. Junior linebacker Carl Glass is 37th at 16 tackles (9 solos, 7 assists) and 5.3 tackles per game.

• Red-shirt freshman defensive lineman James Smith burst onto the scene against Lamar on Sept. 9. The Virginia Beach, Virginia, native ranks fifth in the Sun Belt Conference with 2.5 sacks or 0.83 sacks per game and is ninth in the SBC with 4.0 tackles for loss (3 solo, 2 assists) for 1.33 tackles for loss per game.

THE LAST MEETING –
App State 59, ULM 28 (Oct. 30, 2021 in Boone, North Carolina): Kidd Brewer Stadium turned into a house of horrors for ULM on Saturday in a 59-28 loss to App State.
 
In a measuring stick game against one of the Sun Belt's elite teams, ULM stumbled early while hardly resembling the upstart squad that came in riding a two-game winning streak.
 
ULM (4-4, 2-3 Sun Belt) made just six turnovers combined through their first eight games but tossed that positive trend out the window with five against the Mountaineers.
 
Four turnovers led to 28 points in a rough first half, which ended with the Warhawks trailing 49-7.
 
The Warhawks staged a more competitive second half as quarterback Jiya Wright posted career highs across the board with 91 yards rushing and a touchdown while completing 9-of-17 passes for 158 yards with one score and two interceptions. Wright entered the game in the second quarter in place of injured starter Chandler Rogers (bruised biceps, non-throwing arm) and spearheaded a positive charge after halftime.
 
After gaining just 88 yards in the first half, ULM finished with 391 yards and outscored App State 21-10 in the second half.
 
Overall though, the Mountaineers (6-2, 3-1 Sun Belt) treated their homecoming crowd of 29,321 to a 521-yard outburst as quarterback Chase Brice passed for 256 yards and four touchdowns.  Brice transferred from Duke but started his career at Clemson when Bowden was there as a graduate assistant.
 
A disastrous first quarter saw the Warhawks commit two turnovers leading to 14 points and a 21-0 deficit.
 
ULM's defense stuffed App State for a turnover on downs on the opening drive; however, the Mountaineers found the end zone on their second offensive series. A 3-yard touchdown run by Camerun Peoples capped an eight-play, 72-yard drive and App State led 7-0.
 
One play later, Andrew Henry fumbled and App State recovered at the ULM 28. The Mountaineers took a 14-0 lead as Malik Williams scored on a 16-yard touchdown pass from Brice.
 
Another ULM turnover led to another touchdown for App State. After Trey Cobb intercepted Rogers' first-down pass at the ULM 45, the Mountaineers scored again on a 1-yard Brice touchdown pass to Caleb Spurlin with 2:08 left in the first quarter.
 
The second period brought more of the same.
 
Rogers appeared to score on a 30-yard run after bouncing up from a rolling tackle on fourth-and-4, but the touchdown was overturned and instead the Warhawks were handed a turnover on downs.
 
With a 10-play, 72-yard drive, the Mountaineers went ahead 28-0 as Peoples dashed 26 yards for his 12th touchdown of the season.
 
Another 1-yard touchdown pass from Brice to Spurlin concluded a five-play, 69-yard drive and put App State up 35-0 with 7:11 to go before halftime.
 
Wright, who followed Rogers in the second quarter, directed a four-play, 42-yard scoring drive to finally get the Warhawks on the scoreboard with 4:01 left in the half. A 40-yard pass to Jevin Frett to the App State 2 set up a 3-yard touchdown run by Wright, the first of his career.
 
However, ULM's third turnover of the half, a Wright interception, allowed App State to score again with 39 seconds to go before the break. The Mountaineers led 42-7 after Brice's 14-yard touchdown toss to Corey Sutton.
 
Then App State scored off a pick-six as time expired to grab a commanding 49-7 advantage. Steven Jones intercepted Wright and returned the ball 14 yards for the Mountaineers.
 
After a nightmarish start, ULM showed its fight in the third quarter.
 
ULM opened the second half on a more positive note, covering 75 yards in 10 plays to cut the score to 49-14. Dariyan Wiley cradled a 13-yard touchdown pass from Wright to finish the drive.
 
App State extended the lead to 52-14 on Chandler Staton's 31-yard field goal.
 
The Warhawks used a 16-play, 75-yard drive to cut the score to 52-21 on Abraham Alce's 2-yard run with 26 seconds remaining in the third. ULM gained 160 yards and collected eight first downs while possessing the ball for 12:04 in the quarter.
 
A 7-yard touchdown run by Nate Noel pushed the App State lead to 59-21 with 10:22 left in the game. Noel led App State with 132 rushing yards on 17 carries.
 
ULM scored on a bizarre play in the fourth quarter as Wright fumbled after an 18-yard run, but Jakyle Holmes recovered and ran 68 yards for a touchdown. His run cut the margin to 59-28 at the 9:58 mark.
 
The Warhawks had a chance to score another touchdown late but reverted to their earlier form as Alce fumbled on the goal line with 1:32 left in the game.
 
THE LAST MEETING AT MALONE STADIUM –
App State 31, ULM 13 (Oct. 31, 2020, in Monroe, Louisiana): ULM couldn't scare up its first win of the season in a Halloween afternoon affair at Malone Stadium.
 
App State rushed for 328 yards against the Warhawks and rolled to a 31-13 win. ULM fell to 0-7, 0-4 in the Sun Belt Conference.
 
Quarterback Zac Thomas, who improved to 27-4 as a starter, rushed for 109 yards and running back Marcus Williams added 103 yard to pace the Mountaineers (4-1, 2-0). App State tallied 480 total yards with 26 first downs in an overpowering performance.
 
The Warhawks managed 222 yards with 16 first downs while committing three turnovers. Quarterback Colby Suits entered the game leading the Sun Belt in passing but completed 19-of-30 attempts for 131 yards with a touchdown and an interception. Jeremy Hunt also saw action at quarterback, completing 3-of-9 passes for 20 yards and two picks.
 
ULM, which hasn't held a lead through seven games, trailed by 14 points after one quarter and suffered a significant setback when starting running back Josh Johnson went down early in the contest.
 
A promising start turned to disappointment early for ULM. Cornerback Josh Newton made his first career interception near the end zone to stop App State's initial drive and returned it 35 yards to the ULM 37. The positive vibe disappeared quickly as Johnson went down untouched clutching the back of his leg at the end of a 21-yard run on ULM's ensuing drive, which sputtered quickly after the deflating injury.
 
App State's next series was an efficient 11-play, 80-yard march concluded by Camerun Peoples' 1-yard touchdown run. The Mountaineers led 7-0 with 5:12 to go in the first quarter.
 
Marcus Williams raced 48 yards to cap a two-play, 54-yard drive to give App State the 14-0 advantage with 3:11 showing in the first. Although both teams ran 16 plays in the first quarter, the Mountaineers outgained ULM with 159 yards to 55, with 151 rushing.
 
The Warhawks finally finished off a fruitful drive in the second quarter, moving 76 yards in 17 plays and scoring on Perry Carter's 2-yard sweep around right end. ULM converted on third down twice and once on fourth down to reduce the lead to 14-7 with 9:30 remaining before the half.
 
App State treated itself to another touchdown and snuffed out ULM's momentum with a trick play. The Mountaineers climbed ahead 21-7 on a flea-flicker pass from Thomas to Christian Wells with 5:24 left in the second quarter. App State converted a fourth down to keep its eight-play, 80-yard drive alive.
 
ULM's defense kept the deficit to two scores with a goal-line stand to end the first half.
 
App State drove to the 2-yard line in the waning seconds of the second quarter, but ULM's Keilos Swinney tackled Thomas on the 3 and time expired before the Mountaineers could run another play.
 
The Mountaineers made up for the missed opportunity by opening the third quarter with a quick five-play, 65-yard scoring drive to push the lead to 28-7. Thomas tossed a 35-yard touchdown pass to Malik Williams with 12:46 to go in the period.
 
Turnovers kept ULM from staging any kind of second-half comeback.
 
Suits threw an interception on ULM's first offensive series of the second half, but the Warhawks held on fourth down at their own 20 to stop another App State drive.
 
Hunt came in at quarterback on ULM's next offensive possession, but App State's Brendan Harrington intercepted him at the Warhawks' 39. ULM's defense held though and forced App State's first punt with 5:27 left in the third.
 
With 13:13 to go in the game, App State's Chandler Staton kicked a 38-yard field goal to cap 10-play, 29-yard drive and increase the lead to 31-7.
 
Suits managed a scoring drive to end the game, directing the offense 74 yards in 10 plays over the last 2:38 of the contest. Suits hit Malik Jackson in the end zone as time expired. The Warhawks didn't attempt a PAT after the final play.
 
THE LAST TIME OUT –
Texas A&M 47, ULM 3 (Sept. 16, 2023, in College Station, Texas): The start of ULM's game Saturday against Texas A&M was delayed an hour because of lightning near Kyle Field.
 
When the teams finally kicked off at 4 p.m., the Aggies were primed and ready to strike from the air too. Texas A&M (2-1) scored on its first seven possessions and stormed to a 47-3 win over ULM (2-1).
 
Returning to the starting lineup, quarterback Jiya Wright completed 6-of-15 passes for 95 yards and rushed five times for 34 yards. ULM gained 222 yards and made eight first downs while punting eight times.
 
The Warhawks had few answers for a potent Texas A&M offense that piled up 399 passing yards while amassing 557 total yards and collecting 28 first downs. Quarterback Conner Weigman completed 24-of-29 attempts for 337 yards and a touchdown before leaving in the third quarter with his team leading 37-3. Two Aggies topped 100 yards receiving, with Ainias Smith catching seven passes for 127 yards and Jahdae Walker catching five passes for 110 yards.
 
A&M kicker Randy Bond booted a 30-yard field goal to give the Aggies a 3-0 lead after an 11-play, 60-yard drive with 8:30 left in the opening quarter.
 
The Aggies increased their lead to 10-0 with 2:26 remaining in the first on a 12-yard touchdown pass from Weigman to Walker. A&M drove 90 yards in eight plays for their first touchdown.
 
Derek McCormick put ULM on the scoreboard with a 24-yard field goal at the 13:19 mark of the second quarter. The Warhawks used a nine-play, 69-yard drive to collect their only points as Wright ran for 29 yards on a fourth-and-1 conversion and also hit a 37-yard pass to Tyrone Howell to keep the chains moving.
 
The Aggies answered quickly as Weigman finished off a 74-yard, eight-play drive with a 19-yard touchdown scramble, giving his team a 17-3 advantage with 9:37 left in the second quarter.
 
Bond's second field goal, a 23-yard kick, increased the A&M lead to 20-3 with 4:04 to go before the half. The Aggies scored to end a nine-play, 67-yard march.
 
ULM's deficit ballooned to 27-3 with 48 seconds showing in the half as the Aggies scored on their fifth-straight possession. Amari Daniels punched in a 4-yard touchdown run to finish a six-play, 63-yard drive.
 
The Aggies gained 359 yards while holding ULM to 159 yards in the first half. Weigman completed 19
-of-23 attempts for 287 yards and a touchdown to lead the aerial assault.
 
A&M took the opening drive of the third quarter and moved 32 yards in eight plays Bond's 34-yard field goal gave the Aggies a 30-3 edge with 11:00 left in the period.
 
The Aggies continued their methodical onslaught as Rueben Owens ran for a 21-yard touchdown, extending the lead to 37-3 with 5:54 remaining in the third. A&M's seventh-straight scoring drive covered 60 yards in seven plays.
 
A&M punted for the first time with 1:08 left in the third quarter.
 
Back-up quarterback Max Johnson, who relieved Weigman, directed a seven-play, 41-yard scoring drive and tossed a 13-yard touchdown pass to Raymond Cottrell with 11:15 to go in the game as the Aggies took a 44-3 lead.
 
Bond's fourth field goal of the game, a 52-yarder with 7:11 left in the fourth quarter, provided the final 47-3 margin for the Aggies.
 
SUN BELT OPENERS –
ULM enters its 23rd season of Sun Belt competition with an 8-14 record (.364) in league openers. The Warhawks are 5-5 in their last 10 conference openers but have won their last two openers and three of the last four. Saturday's game marks the first time ULM has opened SBC play against App State.
 
SMITH, WOULLARD PROVIDE BIG PLAYS WITH RUSHING ATTACK –
ULM's revamped running back room has rushed for over 100 yards in each of the first three games of 2023. Sophomore Hunter Smith leads the way with 22 carries for 220 yards and two touchdowns despite seeing just two carries for 16 yards against Texas A&M on Sept. 16. Graduate student Isaiah Woullard has toted the ball 30 times for 185 yards. The duo combined for 214 of ULM's 285 rushing yards against Lamar on Sept. 9. Smith and Woullard have combined for 405 of ULM's 619 rushing yards through three games. Woullard ranks fourth in the SBC and 27th in FBS at 6.17 yards per carry. Woullard leads the Warhawks with 135 of his 185 yards after contact (73 percent).
 
Woullard, a graduate transfer from Ole Miss, recorded his second career 100-yard rushing game, his first as a Warhawk against Lamar, finishing with a career-best 113 yards on 14 carries (8.1 yards per carry). His first 100-game came five years ago in his first career start at Vanderbilt (107 yards on 16 attempts). He added a key 44-yard run in the fourth quarter to set up Derek McCormick's field goal to push the lead to 10, 24-14. Woullard provided 81 of his 113 yards after contact.
 
Smith carried the ball 13 times for 101 yards (7.8 yards per carry) against Lamar and scored a 27-yard TD run in the first quarter, his second TD of the season. It was Smith's second-straight 100-yard rushing day, and the first time two Warhawk rushers topped 100 yards in the same game since Josh Johnson (168 yards) and Caleb Evans (110 yards) did so against Georgia State on Nov. 9, 2019. Smith and Woullard have combined for 373 of ULM's 492 rushing yards through two games.
 
Smith has produced 10 first downs on 22 carries (45 percent), including six gains of 15 or more yards. The 5-11, 181-pound Smith has picked up 78 of his team-leading 220 rushing yards after contact (35 percent).
 
The duo led a potent rushing attack against Army. Smith and Woullard combined for 159 of ULM's 207 rushing yards.
 
Smith, who entered the Army game with just two career carries for nine yards, had his first career 100-yard game, taking seven carries for 103 yards and had a 62-yard touchdown run with 5:43 left in the fourth quarter to pull the Warhawks within one score, 13-10. Smith also had a 21-yard carry in the third quarter.
 
Woullard totaled 10 carries for 56 yards. He had a critical 33-yard run in the fourth quarter which helped set up the go-ahead touchdown pass from Hunter Herring to Tyrone Howell.
 
ULM lost 87 percent of its ground production (1,258 of 1,448 rushing yards). Gone are the top three rushers from a year ago, who combined for 1,183 yards and 15 rushing touchdowns.
 
The Warhawks are building the ground attack around Smith and Woullard. Woullard (5-9, 215) and Thad Franklin Jr. (6-0, 235) provide ULM with the option of utilizing a "bigger back" in short-yardage and goal-line situations. Franklin made his first appearance as a Warhawk with a 1-yard TD run against Lamar on Sept. 9. In 13 career games with the Hurricanes (2021-22), Franklin gained 381 yards on 73 attempts and scored seven TDs.
 
Smith (5-11, 181) saw action primarily on special teams in 2022.
 
A four-year letterman at Ole Miss (2018-22; redshirted 2021), Woullard rushed 103 times for 472 career yards (4.6 avg.) and four TDs. He gained notoriety at Presbyterian Christian School in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, setting the state's all-time rushing record with 8,294 career yards.
 
HOWELL AIMS TO BUILD OFF BREAKOUT 2022 CAMPAIGN –
Graduate wide receiver Tyrone Howell leads ULM with 15 catches for 172 yards (11.5 yards per catch) and one touchdown through three games. Eight of Howell's team-leading 15 receptions have resulted in first downs (53 percent). Howell also leads the team in yards after catch with 76. He had two catches at Texas A&M for 40 yards, including a 37-yard reception late in the first quarter to set up ULM's only points of the afternoon.
 
He had four grabs for 65 yards on Sept. 9 against Lamar. He opened the season with nine receptions for 67 yards, including a spectacular one-handed game-winning touchdown grab on a 9-yard toss from Hunter Herring in the back, right corner of the end zone with 2:48 left, as ULM rallied from a 13-3 fourth-quarter deficit for a 17-13 win over Army on Sept. 2. Three of Howell's catches resulted in first downs.
 
Howell, who led the team in receptions (50), receiving yards (852) and touchdown receptions (6) in 2022, has been named to the 2023 Preseason Watch List for the Biletnikoff Award, presented annually since 1994 to the outstanding Football Bowl Subdivision receiver, regardless of position, by the Tallahassee Quarterback Club Foundation, and the 2023 Reese's Senior Bowl Watch List.
 
The 6-foot-3, 204-pound Howell also has earned preseason All-Sun Belt recognition from Pro Football Focus (first team), Athlon Sports (first team), conference's head coaches and media panel (second team), Phil Steele (second team) and College Football Network (second team).
 
Howell received All-Sun Belt Second-Team recognition following his breakout junior season. He led the team in receptions in five of the last six games in 2022 and finished with three 100-yard receiving games.
 
In Sun Belt Conference games, Howell led the league in receiving yards per game (98.3), receiving yards (786), yards per catch (20.7) and TD catches (6; tied with Georgia State's Jamari Thrash). He tied TCU's Taye Barber and Nebraska's Trey Palmer for the NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision lead with three receptions of 70 or more yards, including an 89-yard reception against the Ragin' Cajuns and 75- and 83-yard TD receptions at South Alabama. He ranked 32nd in FBS and sixth in the SBC in yards per reception at 17.04.
 
He had 39 of his 50 receptions over the last seven games, going for 668 of his 852 yards and all six of his TDs. Howell also led the team in first down receptions (33), explosive receptions (12, 20-plus yards) and yards after catch (459). His 459 YAC total was good for fourth among SBC receivers (No. 23 in NCAA FBS).
 
The Idabel, Oklahoma, native had a career-best 12 receptions for 176 yards and two scores (46 and 18 yards) in ULM's 31-30 come-from-behind victory over Texas State.
 
Howell set career highs for receiving yards (244) and TD receptions (3) on nine catches at South Alabama. He scored on receptions of 75, 25 and 83 yards from Chandler Rogers. He picked up 151 of his 244 receiving yards after the catch. With ULM trailing 41-20, Howell caught three passes for 104 yards and one score in the fourth quarter alone. His three TD catches (tied for third) and 244 receiving yards (fourth) ranked among the top single-game totals posted in the NCAA FBS in 2022. For his effort, he was named to the Pro Football Focus College National Offensive Team of the Week.
 
His 244 receiving yards marked the second-highest single-game total in ULM history, trailing only Stepfret Williams who caught 10 passes for 264 yards at Nevada in 1995. His three TD receptions tied the third-highest single-game total in school history – just one shy of the record shared by Brent Leonard (4 vs. South Alabama, 2012) and Williams (4 vs. Nevada, 1995). 
 
He posted his first 100-yard receiving game as a Warhawk against the Ragin' Cajuns. Howell caught three passes for 124 yards, including an 89-yard catch-and-run to set up ULM's go-ahead TD in the fourth quarter. His 89-yard reception ranked as the fourth-longest pass play in school history.
 
LEWIS EARNS WEEK ONE COLLEGE FOOTBALL NETWORK NATIONAL TEAM OF THE WEEK HONOR –
Junior right tackle Keydrell Lewis was named to the College Football Network National Team of the Week following his performance in the Sept. 2 season opening win over Army. Lewis graded out at 84% over 64 offensive snaps in the win. He was part of an offensive line that paved way for ULM to rush for 207 yards on 32 carries (6.5 yards per rush) against Army and 285 yards on 40 carries (7.1 yards per rush) last Saturday against Lamar.
 
FIVE WARHAWKS WITH STARTING EXPERIENCE ON OFFENSIVE LINE –
ULM will rebuild its offensive line around three veterans, in right tackle Keydrell Lewis (23 career starts), center Zarian McGill (15) and left guard (moving from right guard) Elijah Fisher (13), who have combined for 48 career starts. In addition, left tackle Stacey Wilkins (6) and right guard Tellek Lockette (6) also have starting experience.
 
The Warhawks added depth by going to the Mississippi junior college ranks in recruiting, bringing in left guard Jay Mickle, center Matt Williams and right guard Markell Smith.

WARHAWK DEFENSE FINDING SUCCESS IN TWO VICTORIES –
ULM's newfound athleticism and speed on the defensive side of the ball has been on display in the first two victories of the season against Army and Lamar. Defensive coordinator Vic Koenning's group ranks second in the Sun Belt Conference and 34th in the Football Bowl Subdivision in turnovers gained with seven. ULM is third in the SBC with three fumble recoveries and four interceptions.
 
In the 24-14 win over Lamar on Sept. 9, ULM limited the Cardinals to 311 yards of total offense on 62 plays. Lamar rushed for 121 yards on 36 carries (3.4 yards per carry) and threw for 190 yards on 26 pass attempts (7.3 yards per attempt).

Defensive lineman Adin Huntington tallied 14 tackles (2 solos, 12 assists) with one tackle for loss for 3 yards and half a sack for 4 yards. Defensive backs Austin Goffney and Max Harris recorded interceptions in the win.
 
In ULM's 17-13 win over Army on Sept. 2, the new-look Warhawk defense made a statement. ULM limited an opponent without an offensive touchdown for the first time since a 47-0 win over Nicholls in 2015. The Warhawks recorded five takeaways (three fumbles, two interceptions) in the contest after forcing just eight turnovers for the entire 2022 season. It was the highest single-game turnover total since picking up five takeaways against Nicholls in 2015. Ja'Terious Evans and A.J. Watts came up with interceptions for ULM, Carl Glass, Norman Massey and Car'lin Vigers forced fumbles and Lu Tillery, Vigers and Jaylan Ware each recovered fumbles.
 
ULM limited Army to 2-of-8 on third-down conversions in the second half, including an 0-of-3 clip in the fourth quarter. The Black Knights went three-and-out on each of its last four possessions. In the fourth quarter, ULM's defense held Army without a first down, allowed 15 total yards on 14 plays and tallied three takeaways (two fumbles and one interception).

He had eight tackles, all solo, with a quarterback hurry at Texas A&M on Sept. 16. In the Sept. 2 season opener against Army, he collected seven tackles (1 solo, 6 assists).
 
Batton (45 total tackles: 31 solos, 14 assists) finished fifth on the Warhawks in tackles in 2022. The 6-2, 215-pound Batton averaged 10.3 tackles over the last three games of the season, including a pair of double-figure efforts at Georgia State (career-high 16 stops) and against Southern Miss (10) in the home finale.
 
Batton took advantage of extended playing time at Georgia State, posting a career-high 16 tackles, including 15 solos, with one forced fumble, a pass break-up and a quarterback hurry in the Warhawks' 31-28 victory. Nicknamed "Batman," Batton played 70 snaps against the Panthers at Will linebacker in place of leading tackler Tristan Driggers, who was sidelined with a shoulder injury. He entered the game at GSU with 14 tackles on the season.
 
He contributed five stops each against Nicholls (1 solo, 4 assists) and at Troy (3 solos, 2 assists).
 
Prior to ULM, Batton played quarterback at Nassau Community College in Garden City, New York. He was 6-3 in nine starts last year, accounting for 1,110 yards of total offense and 12 touchdowns while leading his team to an appearance in the NJCAA Division III Championship Game.

For his effot, Huntington was named Louisiana Sports Writers Association Defensive Player of the Week. The Warhawk defense produced seven tackles for loss (34 yards), including four sacks (25 yards), and forced two turnovers (both interceptions).
 
Huntington, a junior transfer from Kent State, emerged from spring practice as the top candidate to replace two-year starter Caleb Thomas at defensive tackle. He was a preseason All-Sun Belt Fourth-Team selection by Phil Steele. His explosiveness and athleticism were on full display during ULM's summer conditioning program, posting personal bests of 665 pounds in the squat, 435 on the bench, 4.72 in the 40 as well as a 38-inch vertical jump. He recorded 45 tackles (24 solos, 21 assists) over the last three seasons at Kent State (22 career games), with eight resulting in losses (42 yards) including three sacks (27 yards).

Ware's fumble recovery in the first quarter ended Army's first trip into the Warhawk red zone.
 
Ware was rated among Mississippi's Top 50 JUCO prospects by 247Sports (No. 46) at Hinds Community College in Raymond, Mississippi, in 2022. He was a three-time All-MACCC South First-Team selection and a two-time NJCAA All-Region 23 pick. His JUCO career totals included 86 tackles, with 19.5 for losses including 4.5 sacks. He ranked second on the Eagles in tackles (37: 14 solos, 23 assists) and tackles for loss (11.5 for 49 yards) as a third-year sophomore in 2022.
 
SNYDER EMERGES AS PLAYMAKER ON D-LINE IN 2022 – 
Defensive end Kenard Snyder, who led ULM in tackles for loss (10 for 22 yards) and ranked third overall in tackles with 61 (36 solos, 25 assists), was selected honorable mention Freshman All-American by College Football News in 2022. The 6-1, 257-pound Snyder averaged 6.3 tackles over the last eight games since entering the starting lineup. He received preseason All-Sun Belt honors from Lindy's (second team) and Phil Steel (fourth team).

Graduate student Ja'Terious Evans has been active early for ULM, totaling 19 tackles (5 solos, 14 assists) with two tackles for loss for five yards and an interception through the first three games of the 2023 season. He totaled three tackles (2 solos, 1 assist) at Texas A&M on Sept. 16.
 
He had five tackles, all assists, with half a tackle for loss for 2 yards against Lamar on Sept. 9.
 
In his first career start for ULM at outside linebacker, Evans recorded a career-high 11 tackles (8 solos, 8 assists), including a career-best 1.5 tackles for loss (3 yards), and an interception as the Warhawks rallied from a 13-3 fourth-quarter deficit for a 17-13 victory over Army in the 2023 season opener. His interception early in the second quarter set up Derek McCormick's 24-yard field goal for the game's first score. 
 
In the second half, the Warhawk defense limited Army to 2-of-8 on third down, including 0-of-3 in the decisive fourth quarter. The Black Knights went three-and-out on their last four possessions.

Linebacker Carl Glass posted 1.5 sacks for 9 yards among his seven tackles (6 solos, 1 assist) on Sept. 16 at Texas A&M. Glass forced a fumble on his first sack of the day, but the Aggies recovered the football. He combined with Tristan Driggers for the second sack during the second half.
 
Glass is fourth on the team with 16 tackles (10 solos, 6 assists) while adding two sacks for 14 yards, a quarterback hurry and leads the team with two forced fumbles in 2023.
 
Glass, a Monroe native who played at Ouachita Parish High School, played his freshman season at Harding before transferring to ULM as a walk-on in 2022. He earned a scholarship during fall camp, and Coach Terry Bowden called Glass "the biggest surprise" during spring practice in 2022. He had 23 tackles (11 solos, 12 assists) while playing in all 12 games in 2022.
 
BIG PLAY VIGERS STRIKES AGAIN –
Car'lin Vigers continues to make big plays for ULM on defense and special teams. On Sept. 9 against Lamar, the senior defensive back had six tackles, all assists, and blocked a Cardinal punt in the second quarter, which was recovered by Tristan Driggers for a touchdown, extending ULM's lead to two scores.
 
He made one of the biggest plays of opening night when he forced and recovered the fumble by Army's Ay'juan Marshall at the Black Knight 45-yard line with 4:48 remaining, setting up ULM's go-ahead touchdown drive on Sept. 2. He had one tackle to go with his forced fumble and recovery.
 
Vigers, who started the last three games of the 2022 season at free safety, ranked eighth in tackles with 39 (25 solos, 14 assists). The 6-2, 198-pound Vigers displayed a knack for delivering big plays when the game was on the line. He dropped Jamari Thrash 2 yards shy of a first down on a fourth-and-12 play in the closing seconds to secure ULM's 31-28 win at Georgia State that ended a 19-game road losing streak and came up with a fourth-quarter interception in the Warhawks' 21-17 victory over the Ragin' Cajuns in the Sun Belt Conference opener. Vigers, who is expected to transition back to his normal position of cornerback, was named to preseason All-Sun Belt Third Team by Pro Football Focus.
 
TILLERY RETURNS AT CORNER –
Cornerback Lu Tillery accounted for two tackles (1 solo, 1 assist) and recovered a fumble in the Sept. 2 season opener against Army. Tillery (44 total tackles: 29 solos, 15 assists) was sixth on the team in tackles in 2022.

GOFFNEY HAS BIG GAME AGAINST FORMER TEAM –
Playing against his former team, graduate student Austin Goffney intercepted a pass at the goal line and returned it 30 yards, off a fake field-goal attempt by Lamar in the first quarter, and recorded four tackles. Thanks to his interception, Goffney was named Louisiana Sports Writers Association Special Teams Player of the Week. Goffney played for the Cardinals in 2021-22, and previously played at Abilene Christian.
 
Goffney has recorded 12 tackles (3 solos, 9 assists) over the first three contests of 2023.
 
Goffney played two seasons at Lamar after transfering from Abilene Christian. He recorded 47 total tackles (27 solos, 20 assists) in 23 career games for the Cardinals and Wildcats, including 2.5 for losses, two interceptions and two pass break-ups.

2023 ULM SCHEDULE FEATURES SIX HOME GAMES –
ULM's 12-game football schedule features six home games for the third time in the last five seasons (previously in 2019 and 2021). Overall, it marks just the sixth time that the Warhawks have played a six-game home schedule in Malone Stadium since joining the NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision (formerly known as Division I-A).
 
The Warhawks' 2023 opponents went a combined 74-76 (.493) last season, with six opponents posting .500 or better records, including two teams that posted double-digit win totals, in South Alabama (10-3) and Troy (12-2). In addition, six foes also participated in postseason bowl games a year ago, South Alabama (New Orleans Bowl), Georgia Southern (Camellia Bowl), Southern Miss (LendingTree Bowl), Troy (Cure Bowl), Ole Miss (Texas Bowl) and the Ragin' Cajuns (Independence Bowl).
 
A closer look at the schedule reveals that ULM will play four of its first five games in Malone Stadium before hitting the road for five of its last seven contests.
 
Terry Bowden says "November is for contenders," and ULM closes out the 2023 regular season by facing four consecutive bowl participants, in Southern Miss, Troy, Ole Miss and the Ragin' Cajuns. The Warhawks' November opponents produced a combined worksheet of 33-20 (.622) in 2022.

"Our student-athletes compete in a sport where success is defined by wins and losses," ULM head football coach Terry Bowden said.

I congratulate our student-athletes, who have embraced the Warhawk Way and committed themselves to pursuing excellence in the classroom and the community just like they do on the practice field and in the stadium."
 
Bowden also acknowledged the work of Director of Student-Athlete Success Carmen Wright and her staff, especially senior athletic academic counselor Oliver Jackson and athletic academic counselor Karlin Walmsley.
 
"Carmen, OJ and Karlin deserve a great deal of credit for the performance of our student-athletes in the classroom," Bowden said. "Not all student-athletes learn in the same way and at the same pace, and our academic support staff does an incredible job of developing plans tailored to meet their individual needs. Our student-athletes are more than just student ID numbers to Carmen, OJ and Karlin. Our academic support staff is truly invested in each of our student-athletes, and I salute them for their commitment to encouraging our student-athletes to pursue excellence in the classroom. 
 
"A degree from ULM sets up our student-athletes for success long after their competitive careers are over. Our Warhawk Way motto is to develop 'first-class men and world-class leaders,' and as ULM President Dr. Ron Berry professes, we're all here to 'change lives on the bayou.'"

BOWDEN: WINNINGEST FAMILY IN NCAA DIVISION I FOOTBALL HISTORY –  
The late Bobby Bowden (377 career victories) and his sons, Terry (185) and Tommy (90), have combined for 652 wins – the most by any family in NCAA Division I football history. With ULM's 31-28 win at Georgia State on Nov. 12, 2022, the Bowden coaching family reached another milestone with 650 combined career victories. Bobby and Terry became the first father-son combo to serve as head coaches at the NCAA Division I level at the same time while Bobby and Tommy became the first father-son combo ever to coach against each other as head coaches. In a feat likely never to be duplicated, all three Bowden coaches went undefeated and were named National Coach of the Year in the same decade (1990s: Terry, Auburn, 1993; Tommy, Tulane, 1998; and Bobby, Florida State, 1999).
