ULM ended a ten-game losing streak last night with a 30-14 win over Jackson State to kick-off the Bryant Vincent era. The game didn’t kick-off until 8 PM because of lightning in the area and it took awhile for ULM’s offense to get going. Freshman Ahmad Hardy from Mississippi was the star of the game as he rushed for 103 yards and a touchdown.
On the second-play from scrimmage last night in Tulsa, Northwestern State’s Kenneith Lacy broke free for a 75-yard touchdown run to give the Demons a jolt of energy.
