I watched ULM play some very inspired ball last Saturday night where Arkansas seemed dejected and lifeless. I know the Arkansas players were feeling that ULM should just roll over and die like all of their other rent a win opponents are supposed to do. Well this ULM team was pumped up the entire game, even when they were down multiple scores, and I credit their coaching staff for instilling that attitude. Add the fact, the ULM 1 deep may be just as salty talent wise (especially at the QB position) as most other mid-level SEC teams so they think they can hang with anybody. This also isn't mentioning that this isn't their first rodeo with the big boys so the intimidation factor just isn't there.
ULM passed for well over 400 yards against a top ten Arkansas team. The way Aubie played State, I see them having a tough time containing the ULM passing game. Plus, Aubie's Offense is borderline horrible. ULM can win this game but alot of their breaks against Arkie came on fourh downs and luck was just on their side that night. Maybe ULM can capture lightening in a bottle again, but I don't know. Aubie is still a SEC team with much better depth that has backed itself into a corner, which means they are going to be dangerous. ULM will not catch them by surprise, espcially after they just beat Arkansas.
