Ram Football
The Rams are coming off a 43-14 loss at McPherson College in their season opener. Youth and inexperience showed early in the game as Texas Wesleyan trailed 33-0 at the half, but the Rams regrouped and outscored the Bulldogs 14-10 in the second half.
Kane Hardin got the starting nod at quarterback and is expected to start against Millsaps as well. In his TXWES debut, he completed 10 of 24 passes for 174 yards and 2 TD's.
Jermarcus Jones also ran for 69 yards on 18 carries in the contest.
