It’s been over 10 years since the Louisiana-Monroe Warhawks had a winning record in the Sun Belt. Multiple coaches have been and gone since then. Bryant Vincent arrives for the upcoming campaign, but will the Louisiana-Monroe 2024 football schedule allow the Warhawks to get above .500 in the conference this fall?

According to the CFN Strength of Schedule, the Louisiana-Monroe 2024 football schedule is the seventh-most difficult in the Sun Belt. Furthermore, it ranks 83rd nationally, with some marquee matchups both in and out of conference impacting the difficulty for the Warhawks in Year 1 of Vincent’s time at the helm.
While they face some in-conference challenges, the out-of-conference element of the Louisiana-Monroe 2024 football schedule contains significant obstacles. They open with home games against the Jackson State Tigers and UAB Blazers before taking a trip to Austin to face a strong Texas Longhorns side. A mid-November clash with the Auburn Tigers means double SEC trouble for the Warhawks this fall.
The Sun Belt slate is buoyed by the absence of two likely contenders, with Appalachian State and Coastal Carolina missing from the calendar. They’ll need to face two up-and-coming conference combatants in Texas State and James Madison but will get home-field advantage for those tough ties. They also face Southern Miss at home and host the Battle on the Bayou.

The road slate on the Louisiana-Monroe has the potential to be treacherous, with visits to both the South Alabama Jaguars and Troy Trojans. However, with both teams undergoing coaching changes, there might not be a better time for the Warhawks to face them. Marshall and Arkansas State are also tricky ties on the road, especially if the Red Wolves can build on their performance from last fall.
