Malone sweet home: Defense shines in home opener

Takeaways push ULM past Jackson State at home

Warhawks football (1-1) earned a hard-fought victory over Jackson State (2-1) 12-7 in their home opener. Head Coach Terry Bowden’s team scored the first win in his tenure at ULM due to a relentless defense and excellent special teams play.

This victory ended a 12-game losing streak that stretched over three seasons.

Kicker Calum Sutherland nailed four of six field goal attempts—the most by a Warhawk since 2006. The defense forced three fumbles to go along with an interception. ULM’s offense controlled the ball well and didn’t commit any turnovers.
