the Cajuns. Head Coach Todd Berry has fallen in each of his two prior
meetings by just a point, including last season's 36-35 decision. The

longest in FBS history and is the school's best record after eight games
since their final season in FCS in 1993

meeting of the schools - ULM 23- Louisiana-Lafayette - 24
Berry Ball - The Warhawks are 17/23 (74%) on 4th down conversions - ULL
has attempted just four 4th down conversions, converting half.
Another one down - QB Kolton Browning is two away from tying Steven
Jyles' career TD passes record.
Seeing RED - The Cajuns are 90% inside opponent red zones, scoring 28 of

offense in the Sun Belt Conference.
