Nicholls (2-3, 0-0 Southland) at No. 15 UIW (3-2, 0-0) Kickoff: 7 p.m. ET Saturday at Gayle & Tom Benson Stadium in San Antonio (ESPN+) Notable: Veteran players are back on both rosters from Nicholls’ 45-32 win at UIW last year – the key game in the Colonels’ Southland Conference championship and UIW winding as the highest-ranked team (No. 22) not to make the FCS postseason. It is UIW’s only loss out of 20 home games since 2021. Nicholls rushed for 335 yards in the win, including Collin Guggenheim (2,895 career rushing yards) with 153 yards and four touchdowns. Like last year, Nicholls has rebounded from season-opening losses to Big Sky power Sacramento State and two FBS opponents. Meanwhile, UIW has played well against a much-tougher nonconference schedule than in 2023. Nicholls lefty quarterback Pat McQuaide is coming off four TD passes (his two-year high with the Colonels) against Southern. UIW QB Zach Calzada (278.6 passing yards per game, 13 TD passes to two interceptions) spreads the ball around, including to RB Dekalon Taylor (114 all-purpose yards per game, six TDs) and wide receivers Jalen Walthall (35 receptions, 569 yards, seven TDs) and Roy Alexander (35-413-3). Nicholls, behind leading tackler Eli Ennis, has been dominant against the run, allowing just 69.2 rushing yards per game and 2.5 yards per carry, while 11 different players have combined on 12 interceptions. UIW hasn’t been as stingy, allowing 427.4 yards and 25.8 points per game. This is Nicholls’ fifth road game out of its first six overall.
