The Nicholls Colonels have been decent this year only losing the game against Kansas State which they never had a realistic chance of winning.
They now come off a nice 18 point win against the SFA Lumberjacks where they had plenty of success with the rushing game.
The Texas State Bobcats came into the season with a decent amount of hype for a smaller school, but the schedule has never really presented them many chances to show how good they are.
The Bobcats just had their first win of the season and it took triple overtime to get the job done against the Georgia State Panthers. they now get their easiest game of the season so far and will look to put on a nice performance in front of the home crowd.

Nicholls Colonels
The Nicholls Colonels have been very good on the offensive side of the ball this year putting up big points in their last two games. They have a well balanced attack sometimes relying on the run or the pass based on the matchup.
They have a pretty secure quarterback in senior Chase Fourcade who does not tend to win games with outstanding performances, but does not really lose games for you either.
In that last game he threw only 16 passes, but completed 75 % of them for 145 yards for a touchdown and a pick. He now gets an awfully tough test at the Bobcats who do have a decent defense which only looks worse on paper because of the caliber of opponent they have had thus far.
Most of the running game goes through sophomore RB Julien Gums who had an awesome last start going for 135 yards and 3 touchdowns.
The Colonels are projected to be behind in this game so it might be tough to feed Gums in this spot as they should be throwing the ball more frequently.

Texas State Bobcats
That last game they won was impressive by the Bobcats, but they were out gained by the Panthers and did benefit from 3 key turnovers by their opponents. They were way more impressive on the ground as opposed to throwing the ball as they almost doubled their passing total along the ground.
Although starting quarterback Gresch Jensen is not likely to be tested too much in this spot their will be some question marks as Jensen has only had one really good game this year and that came against Wyoming.
The rushing game mainly goes through Caleb Twyford who really had his breakout game in the last game against the Panthers rushing for over 100 yards for the first time all year.
The offense for the Bobcats is going to run through him today as they should be up plenty in this game and are much more likely to focus on the run because of that.
The defense will be of a slight concern as they gave up 423 yards in that Georgia State game, but once again they will probably have a nice game here as they are still far superior in comparison to the Colonels offense.

Texas State drops massively in class here and should do away with Nicholls pretty easily in this home spot. This will especially be the case if the get up maybe 10 points in the first quarter and begin to heavily focus on the run game as the Colonels defense will be dead tired come the 4th quarter.
