In what was an exciting game to watch, Coach Welsh's Warhawks triumphed over arch-rival UL Lafayette. The Ragin' Cajuns QB, J. Pendleton, was his usual self in the passing game, completeing 10/22 passes. Some balls he threw were very sloppy and the recievers were not open. However, when the man was deep and wide open, Pendleton got the ball to him. The Ragin' Cajuns only 2 TDs were on deep passes that were poorly played by the UL Monroe secondary. They were playing run and bit on a play fake or just weren't expecting a reciever to fly by them. On the ground, Pendleton didn't even attempt to scramble. Usually, he'll scramble a few times a game and pick up good yardage. But today he was sacked a few times and finished with negative rushing yardage.

The UL Monroe offense played well when they needed to. Coach Welsh said specifically that his RBs need to work on hitting the correct hole on running plays. They often ran into the wrong gap and were taken out by UL Lafayette defenders. The team total for rushing came out at 100 yards. Freshmen RB R. Means stepped up big for UL Monroe, leading the team in rushing with 36 yards. He picked up a few key first downs when they were needed. So did FB T. Johnson. He got a big first down on the final drive and 2 TDs, including the game winning rush.

The Warhawks will celebrate the win over their rivals for the next few days, but then it's all back to business for the Warhawks as they take on Mid Tenn State in week 12.
