Louisiana-Monroe has a seasoned passer in quarterback Caleb Evans and two established receivers in Marcus Green and R.J. Turner.
But it’s what the Warhawks are accomplishing in the running game that has gained the attention of Troy defensive coordinator Vic Koenning as the Trojans get ready for their Sun Belt opener Saturday night at ULM.
Both teams enter with 2-1 records. The Warhawks opened the season with back-to-back wins against Southeastern Louisiana and at Southern Miss, before losing last Saturday at Texas A&M.
“Well, they’re running the ball more, it seems like, this year – which is probably helping their defense out,” Koenning said.
