What should you expect on Saturday against Louisiana Monroe?

"We're going to send everyone deep and launch it from here on." Obviously Fran was kidding when he said that, but it may not be a bad idea. When asked about it ULM coach Charlie Weatherbie said, "Everybody has thrown the ball against us... and has done fairly well throwing the ball against us." That is brutally honest, but the you cannot ignore the numbers: Combined, ULM's first two opponents (Clemson and Tulsa) have completed 48-of-65 passes — 73.8 percent — and averaged 9.6 yards per completion. Clemson quarterback Cullen Harper threw a school record five touchdown passes against ULM. I would call those stats doing "fairly well".

At a time when our passing game is sputtering (at best) a cupcake is exactly what we need. Isn't that why these teams are on the schedule?
