Midweek Madness: Bye Week Edition

We have a newcomer in our Midweek series

We are back and we will be heading down into SEC country where Ole Miss will be playing the war hawks of UL Monroe.

Ole Miss
2018 Record: 3-2 (Lost against  Louisiana State)


Ole Miss has a balanced offense as they are averaging 316 yds/gm through the air and 170 yds/gm on the ground. Jordan Ta'amu will be the likely starter and doesn't have that too bad of stats. He's averaging 307 yds/gm with 10 TD's and 4 INT's and with a modest passing rate of 60%.
There is really nothing much in the way of weaknesses for Ole Miss as the war hawks defense is not that great as they are allowing 300 yds/gm through the air and 171 yds/gm.

UL Monroe
2018 Records: 2-3 (Lost to Georgia State)


the War hawks offense is a more pass centered offense as they average 238 yds/gm through the air and 159 yds/gm on the ground. Caleb Evans will be the starter for ULM with 238 yds/gm with 7 TD's and 6 INT's with a passing rate of 60 %. This can be a problem for ULM as all of their offensive production comes from him. So there will be a lot of pressure on him to do well.
Just with Ole Miss, there is no noticeable weakness for the war hawks as the rebels defense allows 310 yds/gm through the air and 207 yds/gm.

Verdict

I did not expect both these defenses to be so... well... bad, this will look like an offensive shootout for all 60 minutes, I'm gonna say that it will be tight one, but its gonna come down to who can produce the most yards, and for that I'm gonna have to go to Ole Miss.
