This match-up is probably the biggest one all year for the UL Monroe Warhawks. They only have two rivals, one being UL Lafayette, and the other LA Tech. With LA Tech being very conference fickle, this leaves the only rivalry game for the Warhawks.

They are the favorite coming into this game, but it could really be a toss up. UL Lafayette has better offensive stats, while UL Monroe has better defensive stats. That battle will be a big factor for this game.

Another big thing to watch is how will freshmen RB R. Means perform in his first rivalry game? The young rusher has 201 yards on 32 rushes this season. Another big thing will be the Warhawks trying stop the opposing QB J. Pendleton from making big plays on the ground. He hasn't had the best year through the air, as he only has completed 44% of his 285 passes and has thrown 10 picks. If the Warhawks can keep him from scrambling, the secondary could pull out some key turnovers.
