The Jaguars also average 421.3 yards per game and 5.9 yards per play, showing a balanced offense that can move the ball through the air and on the ground. UL Monroe is 0-4, has lost four straight, and has been outscored 171-85 overall. The Warhawks are averaging only 21.3 points and 344.5 yards per game, while their defense has allowed 42.8 points, 497.3 yards, and 7.2 yards per play, leaving little margin against a more efficient South Alabama attack.
