The Warhawks will finally take to the field in the friendly confines of

Malone Stadium. Despite this, ULM will once again don their road white

uniforms as the home opener will be the first ever White Out game. ULM

will square off against their third straight BCS school, having split the first

two games with SEC opponents. This week though the Baylor Bears

will enter the game with the nation's second longest winning streak and a

perfect 2-0 record this season.

Special teams, especially kick and punt returns are in need of drastic

improvements for the Warhawks to setup possessions.

Cortney Davis

will need to show more discipline on returns, averaging under 10 yards per

return.

The secondary will be tested, as the Bear's offense is quick to the line

and quick to throw deep.

Vincent Eddie,

Isaiah Newsome, and

Cordero Smith will all need to be ready to make plays.

ULM's lone senior on the offensive line,

Jonathan Gill,

will be making his 37th career start for the Warhawks, and 14th straight.

30,101 is the current record crowd for a game in Malone Stadium.

2007 vs. Grambling

Odds makers put the Warhawks as 7.5 point underdogs. Odds makers are expected a

full offensive assault though, as the over/under is set to 110.

ULM is currently 0-6 against current members of the Big 12

conference, and have never played host to a Big 12 school.

The game will be the first meeting between ULm and Baylor.

33 Warhawks call Texas home, 2 Bears call Louisiana home.

ULM has traditionally been tough on opponents in its

home openers, posting a 27-7 (.794) record in contests over the previous

34 seasons.

Redshirt freshman

Harley Scioneaux is continuing a tight end tradition started by

Keavon

Milton. Milton held the distinction that his first four career

receptions were all for touchdowns; now Scioneaux collected his first

two receptions, both for scores.
