The Warhawks’ first meeting against Army West Point’s Army Black Knights did not go as gloriously as they were hoping for. ULM went into the game as the underdog, missing two defensive starts and other key contributors.
Army started out strong by scoring two different times before the Warhawks picked up their first down, and by halftime, Army felt they had the game under control.
Unfortunately, the Warhawks’ woes would continue into the second half going three-and-out and getting fooled by a fake punt that gained 47 yards. Army scored four plays later making 24-7.
ULM’s new defensive coordinator, Scott Stoker, was not ready for Army’s triple option.
