Plus: Texas volleyball beat Baylor

ULM defensive Earnest Hill sounds confident ahead of his team’s matchup against the Texas Longhorns this weekend.

“We have some kids on our team who played against him in New Orleans [in high school], and a couple guys done beat him already. So, they don’t hold too much fear against him,” Hill said earlier this week, according to 247Sports. “So, they’re not gonna hold any fear against him coming up here [this coming weekend.]”

Let’s see if he changes his tune come time for his post-game press conference.
