Hunter Smith’s 27-yard outside run for a touchdown late in the first quarter was a sign of things to come for the Warhawks’ ground game.
When Lamar’s two fourth-quarter touchdowns put pressure on the now one-touchdown Warhawk lead, fellow running back Isaiah Woullard’s 44-yard run set up the Warhawks for a successful 30-yard field goal with 3:30 remaining in the quarter.
ULM secured its first 2-0 start since 2018 with a win over the Lamar Cardinals (0-2) largely in part by the two running backs who each contributed over 100 yards rushing.
