Skelley Field at H.A. Chapman Stadium (30,000) FIRST AND TEN Head coach Todd Berry gets a return trip to his alma mater. He was a quarterback for Tulsa from before suffering a career-ending knee injury. The Warhawks and Golden Hurricane have met just three times before, with Tulsa winning two of those meetings. The late John David Crow was in his second season at the helm of the ULM program when the teams first went head-to-head in The matchup is part of a home-and-home the teams scheduled several years ago. Tulsa came to Monroe for the 2007 home opener. Since that contest, the only current American Athletic Conference team that ULM has faced is Tulane (2008, 2012, 2013). Tulane was a member of C-USA when they faced ULM. The Warhawks had 21 consecutive points from the second quarter till the early fourth in the Georgia Southern game on Saturday. ULM s first offensive play of the second half was a 69-yard connection from Garrett Smith to Ajalen Holley, the Warhawks longest play from scrimmage of the year. It was also Holley s longest career reception. Holley had eight catches for 166 yards as the Warhawks top offensive performer. He has 16 for 321 in two 2015 contests. Dating back to the home finale against UL Lafayette in 2014, he has 19 grabs for 426 yards and two scores. Jared Mapps 12-yard touchdown catch midway through the third quarter was his first score as a Warhawk. He had just one catch for two yards heading into the night and finished with five for 30 yards. D Marius Gillespie s 10-yard touchdown catch was the first of his career. He got his first collegiate touch in the second quarter. The Junior Williams 56-yard pick-six was ULM s first since Mitch Lane accomplished the feat against Wake Forest in It marked back-to-back weeks a Warhawk collected his first career interception (Tre Hunter against Alabama). Ben Banogu had three tackles-for-loss on the heels of getting his first career TFL against Alabama. It was the most by a Warhawk since Michael Johnson (4.5) and Lorenzo Jackson (3.0) accomplished the feat against New Mexico State in Tre Hunter had a career-high nine tackles. Hunter Kissinger s 12 stops were his most since a career-high 13 against Texas A&M in Cody Robinson had a season-high eight tackles. He had that many heading into the game. Craig Ford s 44-yard field goal in the second quarter was the longest of his career.

BERRY VS OPPONENTS Opponent Career Record Record at ULM Alabama Appalachian State Arkansas State Georgia Georgia Southern Hawaii Idaho New Mexico State Nicholls State Texas State Troy Tulsa UL Lafayette Facebook: ULMFootball #PABD STREAK ENDED ULM s streak of defeating at least on power five team came to an end as the Warhawks fell at No. 12 Alabama on Saturday, September The Warhawks streak stood at three consecutive seasons after power five wins over No. 8 Arkansas (2012) and Wake Forest (2013 & 2014)... The streak was the second longest active streak among non-power five programs... ULM trailed only BYU who currently has defeated at least one power five team in 10 straight seasons. OFFENSIVE STUDENT ATHLETE OF THE WEEK HONOREE After recording career highs in both receptions and receiving yards on Saturday at No. 9 Georgia, Rashon Ceaser has been named the Sun Belt Conference s Offensive Student-Athlete of the Week, the league office announced Monday, September 7, Ceaser hauled in a career-best 13 catches and went over the 150 yard mark for the first time in his career as he tallied 153 receiving yards... He also tied a career high with two touchdown receptions in the contest against the Bulldogs.

5 His 13 grabs are tied for third in ULM single-game history and it marks the second time in the Warhawks last three games that a player had 13 receptions (Kenzee Jackson, 13, at New Mexico State, Nov. 22, 2014)... Ceaser s 13 catches pushed his career total to 175 and he now ranks sixth in ULM history... His 153 yards increased his career total to 2,251 as he moved from eighth to fifth in program history. In addition to his Sun Belt honor, Ceaser was also named College Sports Madness Sun Belt Offensive Player of the Week as well as Warhawk of the Week. ROAD WARRIORS At a quick glance, it s not hard to notice the Warhawks play a total of 13 games this season... What may get overlooked is that ULM plays a total of eight games away from the friendly confines of JPS Field at Malone Stadium... ULM is the only FBS program this season that will play a total of eight road games... Via Google Maps the distance from JPS Field at Malone Stadium to all eight road venues comes to a total of 8,612 miles and that is just one direction -- double that amount and the round trip from ULM to each road venue comes to 17,224 miles. Not only do the Warhawks play a total of eight road games this season, they have a stretch in late October to early November where they play three consecutive conference road games... The Warhawks open up the stretch with an October 24th contest at Idaho inside the Kibbie Dome... A week later, on Halloween, the Warhawks battle in-state rival UL Lafayette at Cajun Field... The three-game road stretch comes to a close on Nov. 7 with a Sun Belt tilt at Troy. The Warhawks are just one of four FBS programs to play three consecutive conference games away from home this season... Joining ULM on the list is fellow Sun Belt Conference member Arkansas State as well as Southeastern Conference members Arkansas and Florida... ULM is the only one to play three straight weeks in true road games... Arkansas State has a bye week during its three-game conference road stretch from Thursday, November 5th to Saturday, November 28th (Bye Week - November 21)... Arkansas and Florida each play three straight games away from home, but one of those is a neutral site game (Arkansas vs. Texas A&M, Arlington, Texas - Saturday, September 26th; Florida vs. Georgia, Jacksonville, Fla., Saturday, October 31). ZERO BACK-TO-BACK HOME GAMES ULM is one of six teams in FBS that will not play back-to-back home games this season and they are the only Sun Belt School on the list... Joining the Warhawks on the list are FIU, Middle Tennessee, San Diego State, UMass and Western Kentucky... UMass plays two games in its home state, but one is in Amherst vs. Kent State on Oct. 17, followed by a game at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, Mass. on Oct. 24. KING CEASER Rashon Ceaser hauled in 13 catches in ULM s season opener at No. 9 Georgia...
