The Warhawks' offense is simply dreadful. With significant aerial limitations in 2025, ULM scored just 16.6 points per game (130th). Their anemic offense convinced head coach Bryant Vincent to overhaul his offensive staff, turning to a JUCO playcaller. But even if Jesse Montalto is truly an offensive savant in the booth, the cupboard is bare from a playmaker perspective. Last season, the Warhawks ranked 124th in 247Sports’s team talent composite rankings. And since then, their top two rushers have left the program, as well as their leading receiver and starting tight end. When you mix in a new offensive system and concerns along the offensive line, there’s a good chance that this offense could be a complete tire fire this fall. When ULM lines up to stop Mississippi State in Week 1, they’ll have a major issue from the very first snap. The Warhawks' defensive line is thin and undersized. That will make life really easy on Kamario Taylor, the highest-rated quarterback to ever sign with the Bulldogs. The dual-threat star ran for 173 yards and two scores in the Egg Bowl and is primed for a breakout season. Flanking him in the backfield will be Fluff Bothwell, an electrifying back with 19 career touchdowns. The Bulldogs will jump on the Warhawks here and use their blazing-fast tempo to run upwards of 80 plays in this game. Jeff Lebby’s hurry-up offense will gas ULM’s defensive line, and from there MSU will gouge them on the ground. This has the makings of one of Week 1’s biggest blowouts.
