UNT (2-4, 3-8) at La.-Monroe (1-4, 2-8)

Line: ULM by 7

WHAT'S ON THE LINE

UNT –The Mean Green is trying to send coach Darrell Dickey out on a high note and build momentum for the off-season.

ULM –The Warhawks look to build on a win over Florida International and a near-win against Kentucky.

WHO'S HOT

UNT –Redshirt freshman RB Evan Robertson ran for 201 yards against Fla. Atlantic.

ULM –Junior RB Calvin Dawson rushed for 179 yards and three touchdowns last week in a loss to Kentucky.

WHO'S NOT

UNT –Quarterback Daniel Meager committed three costly turnovers and injured his elbow against Florida Atlantic.

ULM –The Warhawks gave up 359 passing yards to Kentucky.

STAT THAT TELLS THE STORY

ULM rushed for 351 yards at Kentucky. UNT is fourth in the Sun Belt with 143.3 rushing yards allowed per game.

KEY MATCHUP

UNT S AARON WEATHERS VS. ULM RB CALVIN DAWSON: The Warhawks have gone to an option-based attack behind Dawson, who leads the Sun Belt with an average of 96.4 rushing yards per game. UNT has allowed only two 100-yard rushers this season and needs to avoid surrendering a big day.

UNT WINS IF

The Mean Green channels its emotions in Dickey's last game.

ULM WINS IF

The Warhawks could end their season with a flourish if they run the ball the way they did against Kentucky.

PREDICTED SCORE

ULM 27, UNT 17
