SLC: McNeese Cowboys at Nicholls Colonels

[McCowboys]

A big contest on the bayou this Saturday! Because McNeese is unranked and the Colonels (like most SLC teams this year) has been inconsistent, it doesn't have as much luster as some games in the past, but it is still important to both teams. Game time: 3 PM CST.

Series History:

McNeese won last year in Lake Charles 20-10.

• McNeese and Nicholls will be meeting for the 44th time on Saturday night as the Cowboys hold a 31-12 lead in the all-time series that began in 1972.
