The Louisiana-Monroe Warhawks and the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers square off in a Sun Belt conference college football game Saturday from Conway Stadium.
The Louisiana-Monroe Warhawks will be out to build on their 29-16 win over Troy last time out. Rhett Rodriguez has thrown for 337 yards and a touchdown on 56.5% passing while Andrew Henry’s rushed for a team-high 169 yards this season. Boogie Knight leads the Warhawks’ receivers with 12 grabs for 136 yards this season. On defense, Ty Shelby has a team-high 5 sacks while Adam Sparks leads ULM with 22 total tackles this season.
The Coastal Carolina Chanticleers will be out to build on their 53-3 dismantling of UMass in their last game. Grayson McCall’s thrown for 901 yards, 8 touchdowns and a pick on 76.7% passing while Shermari Jones and Reese White make up the pair of 200+ yard rushers for Coastal this season, combining for 571 yards and 9 touchdowns. Jaivon Heiligh leads the Chants’ receivers with 21 grabs for 464 yards and 4 touchdowns while Isaiah Likely and Kameron Brown each have 100+ receiving yards this year. On defense, Silas Kelly leads the Chanticleers with 27 total tackles while Josaiah Stewart has a team-high 3.5 sacks and Jeffrey Gunter has 2.5 sacks this season.
Louisiana-Monroe is 1-3-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall and 4-9-1 ATS in their last 14 games against a team with a winning record while the under is 5-1 in their last 6 games in October. Coastal Carolina is 7-1-1 ATS in their last 9 home games and 6-1-1 ATS in their last 8 conference games while the over is 4-1 in their last 5 games as a home favorite.
The Chanticleers haven’t been as dominant as they were last season if you analyze each game, but the Chants dominated UMass last time out and UMass is almost on the same level as ULM if we’re being frank. The running joke still stands true as ULM doesn’t stand for Louisiana-Monroe, it stands for U Lose Money as the Warhawks burn a hole in your pocket if you back them and one win over Troy doesn’t change that for me. I think it’s no different in this game. Give me Coastal Carolina in a rout.
