Bowl eligible.

Those two words mean quite a bit to coach Harry Welsh right now after his UL Monroe Warhakws 6th win of the season.

"Holy crap we are bowl eligible baby! BOWL ELIGIBLE! I am so excited to be able to make it to a bowl game in my very first year as a college football coach. I am living the dream! LIVIN' THE DREAM!" Welsh had to say after the game.

Although it was a win, it was not a pretty one for the Warhawks. They started off the game well but late in the 3rd and all through the 4th quarter there offense was getting stopped cold and there defense was getting slowly shredded by the FIU Golden Panthers. The real reason the Warhawks got the win is because of the 4 interceptions thrown by D. Washington of FIU.

C. Bryant only through 11 passes throughout the game and he only completed 6. However, he did do a great job picking up yards on the ground. He rushed for 49 yards, and was the 4th player on the team in that stat. B. Woods got 57 yards while the FB G. Jones and HB R. Means hit 50.

After the week 13 victory to make the Warhawks bowl eligible, they were projected to be in the Godaddy.com Bowl against the 11-0 #24 ranked Ohio Bobcats.

The following is the BCS Top 10 going into week 14:
1. Oklahoma

7. Texas A&M
