2011 Louisiana Monroe Strengths:
The offense is a veteran unit with a deep wide receiving corps and an experienced Quarterback in Browning. who is a threat to run or pass. The interior line also returns intact. Blakes and Dorsey are solid pass rushers, having combined for 11 sacks last year.
2011 Louisiana Monroe Weaknesses:
The running game was sporadic throughout the year, and the situation at running back is thin behind starter Jyruss Edwards. Browning is the top returning rusher after compiling 365 yards last year. Depth will be sorely tested with aschedule that sends the Warhawks to Florida State. TCU and Iowa for three of their first four games.
2011 Louisiana Monroe Offense:
Eight starters, a budding young quarterback, four starters on the offensive line and the top four receivers return for ULM, but the Warhawks’ offense was largely inconsistent last season. A second year in the system and more maturity will allow ULM to utilize the entire playbook. Quarterback Kolton Browning had nearly 3,000 yards of total offense as a freshman, but the line needs to protect him better and establish the ground game. The tailback trio of speedster Jyruss Edwards, Centarius Donald and bruising Arkansas transfer Mitchell Bailey should help the running game and balance the offense. Wideout Luther Ambrose, one of the nation’s fastest 100-meter sprinters, is coming off an all-conference season. He is joined by starters Tavarese Maye, Brent Leonard and Anthony McCall atop a deep receiver rotation. Ambrose caught 65 passes for 752 yards and six touchdowns last season.
2011 Louisiana Monroe Defense:
ULM’s 3-3-5 scheme offers opponents a tough matchup, and the return of six starters should aid its execution. The team’s top three tacklers are back, led by linebackers Jason Edwards and Cameron Blakes. Ken Dorsey and Troy Evans make up one of the Sun Belt’s best defensive end duos. Dorsey was an all-conference selection last season, and Evans returns from a 2010 injury that sidelined him after a breakout season two years ago. All-Sun Belt safety Darius Prelow will make a strategic move to the Hawk position (commonly called Rover), where his experience and physical style of play should add bite to the defense. ULM ranked second in the league in total defense and first in rush defense in 2010, but it could be even better this season.
2011 Louisiana Monroe Special Teams:
Senior kicker Radi Jabour is only 25 of 41 on field-goal attempts in his career, but he was 7 of 9 last season. Punter Aaron Munoz averaged just over 39 yards a try on 42 attempts as a freshman. The Warhawks will look for a new punt returner with the dismissal of Nelson. Edwards, Donald and Ambrose all returned kickoffs last year.

2011 Louisiana Monroe Predictions:
ULM exceeded expectations in Berry’s first season. The goal now is to contend for a league title. Youth was ULM’s biggest foe last season, but it could be a benefit this year. Highs and lows were too far apart for ULM last season.
