It all starts up front for the ULM defense

It’s no secret that the ULM Warhawks need a complete defensive turnaround if the team is to have any hopes of contending for a Sun Belt title. The Warhawks had the league’s highest-scoring offense in 2017, finishing 4-8 on the year. If the Warhawks defense doesn’t give up 41 points and 532 yards per game, you’re likely looking at a team that’s running the score up on their opponents and contending for a division and conference title.

For Matt Viator and company, that’s the exact philosophy heading into the 2018 football season. With a returning star quarterback, a deep group of running backs and receivers, and a veteran offensive line, ULM is poised to lead the conference in scoring yet again.
