ULM is at Kentucky this Saturday. The Warhawks are coming off a 28-14 loss to Arkansas State. ULM didn’t score until the fourth quarter in that game as they rushed for only 72 yards and they were 4-for-16 on third downs.

Former Texas Tech defensive coordinator Matt Wallerstedt has reportedly Mark Hudspeth’s staff at UL Lafayette as a defensive consultant. Wallerstedt served as Hudspeth’s defensive coordinator at North Alabama. And was Texas Tech’s defensive coordinator earlier this season, but resigned after three games. The Cajuns have had trouble on the defensive side of the football, allowing 35 points and 458 yards per game this season.
