UL Monroe made it look easy. On a day where many expected an offensive battle, defense dominated this one. The Warhawks had one of their best all around games of the season as they shut out the Blue Raiders of Mid Tenn State 17-0.

"Man our defense made those college kids look like Pop Warner fools!", Coach Welsh had to say after the game, "I have a good feeling you all will be seeing us play in a bowl game this winter. 5-4 baby! Woo!"

Coach Welsh's option offense performed very well against a struggling Blue Raiders defense. They gave up over 150 yards on the ground and over 100 through the air. The UL Monroe defense didn't make to many huge plays, but the consistently kept the Blue Raiders in 3rd and long situations. They played a great game and came away with the best result a defense can get - a shut out.

C. Bryant had a good game on the ground, as did RBs R. Means and B. Woods. Z. Singleton has quietly produced a very good season out at TE. He has 12 catches on the year with 149 yards. The current defensive leader for the Warhawks is MLB Anthony Bennett with 49 total tackles and 24 solo ones. He also leads the team in tackles for loss with 12. He also has a sack, forced fumble, and 2 fumble recoveries on the year. He took one of them back for a TD.
