How they play
ULM fields a struggling methodical, ball-control offense behind a porous, bend-don't-break defense.
Percentile vs all FBS, based on this season's per-game production. Bar = where this team ranks — right is better.
Player percentiles
ULM reads strongest in explosive plays allowed (top 32%) and success rate (top 70%); the crux lives in EPA / play, where ULM sits at the 4th percentile.

Hidden math · special situations
Home-field advantage · 2018–present · FBS opponents
ULM is worth +6.4 points more at home than on the road.
Top third of FBS, 88th percentile of 133 programs
38% at home, 15% away against FBS opponents since 2018 (15-25 home, 8-46 away). Interval ±3.9.
The stadium and how the home edge is measured
Our model gives every stadium the same flat 2.3-point home edge. The books use about 3. Per-team versions were tested and did not hold up (why). Against the closing line, ULM has beaten the number by +3.9 more at home than away over 102 games. That is inside the ±6.3 that many games can resolve, so the results cannot tell this stadium from the flat number. That is the honest reading of nearly every FBS stadium.
Malone Stadium seats 27,617 and has averaged 55% full (15,199, 25 games reported). Visitors cover a median 312 miles to get here since 2018 — 41st-shortest of 135 FBS venues, inside the ordinary range. 17% of the 2026 roster (17 of 100 located players) grew up inside 100 miles of the stadium.
Edge = half the gap between average home margin and average road margin, FBS opponents only, non-neutral games since 2018; the interval is 95%. Market line: closing spread, seasons with lines on file. Trip length is straight-line miles from the visiting team's campus to the venue, measured across all 48 home games since 2018.

Position battles
RB room
The carries are split. The job isn’t.
Bryson Roland and Derrick Jameson split the carries (42/71 vs 29/71) -- but the job isn't split the same way. Derrick Jameson produces in bigger chunks.
WR/TE room
The targets are split. The job isn’t.
Nic Trujillo (WR) and Bryce Anderson (TE) split the targets (42/68 vs 26/68) -- but the job isn't split the same way. Nic Trujillo produces in bigger chunks.
Scheme claims
ULM’s 4th-quarter offense, before and after garbage time
Raw Q4 EPA/play ranks 12th percentile in FBS. Strip out snaps taken with a blowout margin and it drops to the 11th — the correction is the finding, not a footnote.
Standard downs vs. passing downs
Does ULM hold up once the down-and-distance turns against them?
47th percentile success on standard downs, 11th on passing downs — a 36-point gap between the two.

ULM by half
1st-half offense ranks 11th percentile in FBS; 2nd-half, 11th — competitive snaps only, garbage time excluded from both halves.
How much of ULM’s number is the schedule?
Raw EPA/play through week 10 is -0.04; 5th percentile once opponent strength is stripped out, it's -0.03. The widest gap came in week 3: -0.10 raw vs. 0.00 adjusted.
Pass defense by zone
What this team throws, and gives up, by depth.
On short throws (≤19 air yards), UL Monroe’s passing game completes a completion rate below the FBS mean (66.6% vs 67.0% league-wide, shrunk toward the mean for its 217-play sample) — mid-pack, 53 of 136 qualifying offenses.
On short throws (≤19 air yards), UL Monroe’s defense allows a completion rate above the FBS mean (66.5% vs 66.3% league-wide, shrunk toward the mean for its 160-play sample) — mid-pack, 76 of 137 qualifying defenses.
We won’t show a deep-ball (20+ air yards) leaderboard here, on either side of the ball: even a full season of charted plays gives most teams well under 30 deep attempts — too thin to tell a real tendency from noise, so we won’t guess. Same refusal for yards-after-catch allowed and where a team’s attempts land by zone: both measured and both came back statistically indistinguishable from season-to-season noise.
Havoc & trenches
Disruption, run-blocking, and down-and-distance efficiency.
Turnover luck
Recovering 29% of their own fumbles — running cold vs. the ~52% league rate.
2 of 7 own fumbles recovered themselves, 2026 only.
Takeaways
Getting hands on the ball but not cashing in: 11% of disruptions converted, vs. the ~18% league rate.
3 interceptions of 28 disrupted passes (25 deflected, 3 intercepted), 2026 only.
Penalties
Winning the penalty battle: 41 penalties committed vs. 47 drawn on opponents, a 47-yard edge.
371 penalty yards committed vs. 418 drawn on opponents, 2026 season total.
