    ULM vs Jackson State Prediction, Game Preview, Betting Line

    ULM opens up the Bryant Vincent era with an early must-win game. The program is rebuilding, the schedule is daunting, and it might be a rough year. This might be the best shot at a victory.

    It’s going to take a while to get the ULM defense going. The Warhawk linebacking corps needs an overhaul, the defensive front will be a bit questionable, and as long as the Jackson State offense doesn’t make a slew of mistakes, this should be a fight.

    Why ULM Will Win

    So what does ULM have to get excited about?

    The secondary should be a bit of a plus early on - at least compared to the defensive front. The offense has a shot to be far stronger with an improved line, and there should be a good overall style with more pop and explosion.

    As good as Jackson State is this season, it’s still mostly the team that lost to Texas State 77-34. The D has to prove it can hold up against an FBS team, but …

    ULM vs Jackson State: Who Will Win

    ULM will need everything in the bag to pull this off.
