ULM will play its second consecutive home game as it kicks off the month of November against UL-Lafayette Saturday afternoon inside Malone Stadium. Kickoff is set for 3 p.m. and the game will air on both the Sun Belt Network and ESPN3.com.


First and Ten...

* ULM and UL-Lafayette will meet for the 48th time Saturday at Malone Stadium... UL-Lafayette leads the all-time series 24-23 as it has won the last four meetings... ULM has dropped each of the last two meetings by a single point (L, 22-23, 2010; L, 35-36, 2011).
* Saturday's contest between the two teams will be the 20th meeting in Monroe, with the Warhawks holding a 10-9 advantage.
* Since falling to Baylor in the home opener on September 21, the Warhawks have won five straight games... It is the first time ULM has won five straight games since 1993 when it was a member of the FCS (1-AA) ranks... The five game streak in 1993 lasted from October 16 to November 13.
* The Warhawks are 4-0 in the Sun Belt for the first time since joining the conference... ULM started the conference season 3-0 in both 2005 and 2009 before dropping its fourth league game.
* Not only are the Warhawks bowl eligible at 6-2, it is the best start for the program during the FBS-era (started in 1994)... The last time ULM was 6-2 after its first eight games was in 1993.
* Kolton Browning needs just three touchdown passes to set a new school-record for career touchdown passes... Browning has 53 career TD passes and the junior sits just two back of Steven Jyles (55; 2002-05).
* Against South Alabama, Brent Leonard tied a single-game school record with four touchdown receptions... He is just the second player to accomplish the feat (Stepfret Williams, at Nevada, Oct. 14, 1995)... It was Leonard's second career multi-TD game (2 receiving TDs vs. Arkansas State, October 8, 2011)... Leonard finished with nine catches for 126 yards... The 126 receiving yards is the second highest total of his career (145 vs. Arkansas State, October 8, 2011)... Leonard also had a 22 yard punt return which is the longest for ULM during Todd Berry's tenure as head coach.
* Jon Fisher (OL) made his first career reception Saturday vs. South Alabama... Fisher caught a tipped pass in the second quarter for a two-yard reception.
* DaCorris Ford recorded his third interception of the season in the win over South Alabama... Ford leads the team with his three interceptions.
* Gerrand Johnson led ULM with eight tackles against South Alabama... Malcolm Edmond and and Isaiah Newsome added seven tackles each... Henry Mitchell, making his first career start, finished with six tackles... Ray Stovall also recorded six tackles as well as one pass breakup and three quarterback hurries.
* Justin Manton hit his second field goal of the season (four attempts) as he connected on a 35-yard field goal with 7:55 to play in the 38-24 win over South Alabama.
* Justin Manton set a new ULM single-season record as he hit his 33rd consecutive PAT... With his successful PAT in the 2nd quarter at WKU, he broke his on consecutive PATs in a season mark of 32, which he set as a rookie in 2011... Against South Alabama, Manton was 5-for-5 and is now 42-for-42 in 2012... Dating back to the 2011 season, he has hit 44 straight.
