The Louisiana-Monroe Warhawks began their 2024 football season with a 30-14 victory over Jackson State, marking head coach Bryant Vincent's first win at the helm. True freshman running back Ahmad Hardy impressed with over 100 rushing yards and a touchdown, while quarterbacks General Booty and Aidan Armenta each contributed touchdown passes. ULM's defense showcased strength by limiting Jackson State to just 59 rushing yards and forcing the only turnover of the game. Jackson State initially tied the game at 14-14 but could not maintain momentum in the second half. The Warhawks will seek to improve to 2-0 when they host UAB on September 8, while Jackson State prepares to face Lane College. The game was also notable for its challenging weather conditions, with delays due to rain.
