Thibodaux, LA- Nicholls State is currently 4-4 overall and 4-2 in conference play. They have made some major improvements these past couple of years and it is finally starting to show in the Southland Conference. The most impressive showing has to be their freshman starting quarterback, Chase Fourcade. The New Orleans native is the engine behind the Colonel offense and they certainly have a lot to look forward to in this young talent.
The Colonels are averaging a respectable 29.0 points per game while allowing 30.4 points to opposition. Coach Rebowe figures to see his oppositional points per game to go down as the defensive unit builds more chemistry as the season goes along. The Colonels are capable of moving the chains and putting points on the board against any opponent. However, Nicholls State allows an average of 401.1 yards of total offense per game to opponents so they frequently find themselves playing from behind.
