Stumped by Texas Hardy compiled 10 rushes for 30 yards and hauled in their only target for seven yards during Saturday's 51-3 defeat to Texas.

Impact Unsurprisingly, UL-Monroe struggled to move the ball against No. 1 Texas. Hardy's 30 rush yards and three yards per carry are subpar, but considering the team had 111 yards of offense and averaged 2.3 yards per rush, Hardy's final stat line looks a little bit better. Hardy will look to bounce back next week against Troy.
