With the exception of the Sam Houston game, the Colonels’ conference games away from home have came down to the wire. Nicholls had a late interception return for the go-ahead touchdown called back at UIW, and against SFA, the Lumberjacks scored in the final seconds to win 28-24. The Colonels’ luck changed at Lamar; however, as the Cardinals missed a 23-yard field goal as time expired. • Nicholls and Southeastern will meet for the 25th time, with the series all squared at 12 games each. The Colonels did hold a slight advantage at 12-8, but have lost the last four to the Lions. Four Colonel head coaches won one their first matchup against Southeastern - Bill Clements (1974), Sonny Jackson (1981), Jay Thomas (2005) and Charlie Stubbs (2010) • If moral victories counted, Nicholls would be coming off one as their tremendous comeback on Senior Day against Central Arkansas came up six-yards short. After trailing 34-17 in the fourth quarter, the Colonels scored two touchdowns to pull within three points with six minutes remaining. Nicholls had two drives with a chance to take the lead, but a Hail Mary of the final play of the game was caught at the UCA 6, ending the Colonels bid for their third win of the season. • The Colonels statistically have the Southland’s top-rated pass defense, allowing just 177.4 yards per contest. After allowing a season-high 391 yards in the opener at ULM, the Colonel pass defense has only surrendered more than 200 yards passing twice. Their pass defense has been especially impressive as of late, allowing just an average of 98.8 yards passing in the last four games. Nicholls ranks 19th in the FCS in pass defense.

86%

• All 26 players who Tim Rebowe signed in his fi rst recruiting class are from Louisiana

PUTTING THE IN LOUISIANA

100%

• With 111 players listed on the 2015 roster, 95 are from Louisiana.

• All 10 coaches have ties to Louisiana. Six are from Louisiana and graduated college from the Pelican State. The other four all coached at a Louisiana university, with one graduating from within the boarders.

2Redshirt sophomore Geoffrey Hebert recorded two sacks against Central Arkansas, including one that led to a fumble recovery. Last season,

Nicholls had just two sacks as a team

4QB Landry Klann tossed a career-high

four touchdowns in his 368-yard passing performance against Central Arkansas. Klann not only posted a personal best, but he was the fi rst Colonel QB to record 4 TD passes

since 1998

11Junior WR C.J. Bates had a career day

against Central Arkansas as he hauled in 11 receptions for 112 yards and 2 touchdowns.

Bates’ 11 grabs tied the program single-game record, held by three other players

16thAlthough the Colonels have allowed yardage

on defense, they’ve lived by the bend-but-don’t-break mentalilty by not allowing teams

to score from the red zone. Nicholls ranks 8th in the FCS in red zone defense, allowing the opposition to score just 67.9 % of the time

147Senior RB Michael Henry is just 147 rushing

yards away from reaching 2,000 for his career. Henry, who is currently 7th on the all-time rushing list (1,853), would be only

the 7th player in program history to reach the benchmark

THANK YOU.

• After back-to-back conference championships, the Southeastern Louisiana Lions have had tough luck this season, posting a 4-6 record and a 3-5 mark in the Southland.

• The Lion offense has been hampered by injuries all season, averaging just under 20 points per game, and added another critical injury as leading rusher Kody Sutton was lost for the rest of the season after suffering a knee injury against UIW. Sutton had rushed for 89.9 yards per game and 9 touchdowns.

• SLU’s defense continues to be stout, ranking second in the Southland in points allowed (21.3) and total defense.(348.3 yds). Despite the loss at ACU last week, the Lions surrendered just 310 yards.

• SLU is looking to match its longest winning streak over the Colonels at fi ve games. The Lions reeled off fi ve consecutive victories from 1976-80.

ON THIS DATE IN COLONEL HISTORY ...

• Nicholls has an impressive 5-2 record on Nov. 19. The Colonels are 3-0 against Southeastern Louisiana on 11/19, which includes wins in 2009 and 2010.

NICHOLLS FOOTBALL 2015 GAME NOTES - SOUTHEASTERN LA.

LAST MEETING (11-20-14)SOUTHEASTERN LOUISIANA 62NICHOLLS 3

THIBODAUX, La. - Michael Henry became the third players in Nicholls State University football program history to rush for 1,000 yards but No. 10 Southeastern Louisiana had no trouble in putting away the Colonels as Nicholls was defeated 62-3 Thursday night at John L. Guidry Stadium. With the win, Southeastern keeps the River Bell with its fourth consecutive victory over the Colonels (0-12, 0-8 SLC) and evens the all-time series to 12-all. The Lions (9-3, 7-1 SLC) also claimed at least a share of the Southland Confer-ence title for the second straight season. Henry entered the game with 887 yards rushing and was able to account for 118 yards on 27 carries, giving the Baton Rouge native 1,005 yards for the season. Henry joins teammate Tuskani Figaro, who redshirted this season, and Nakia Lumar as the only Colonels to reach the milestone. Figaro set the rushing record last season with 1,103 yards while Lumar rushed for 1,072 in 1996. The Colonels scored fi rst on a 40-yard fi eld goal by Francisco Condado. Southeastern answered with a 77-yard touchdown pass, but would only lead 7-3 after the fi rst quarter. The rest of the way, it was all Lions. SLU pumped out 20 points in the second quarter, 21 in the third and two touchdowns in the fourth to fi nish the night with 62 unanswered points. Despite Henry’s night, Nicholls was held to 279 yards on offense, while Southeastern fi nished with 633. Senior Kalen Henderson made the start at quarterback for the Colonels, throwing for 57 yards and two interceptions on 8 of 16 passing. Senior Beaux Hebert played in the second half, passing for 100 yards on 4 of 12. Fellow senior Demon Bolt led the receivers with 80 yards on three catches. For the Lions, quarterback Bryan Bennett saw limited action, completing 2 of 8 passes for 81 yards with 77 coming off the SLU’s fi rst touchdown. Jordan Barnett threw for 193 yards and two touchdowns while Devante Scott caught seven balls for 196 yards. The Lions racked up 313 yards on the ground, led by 119 from Marquis Hayes. After the fi rst quarter, Southeastern ran back an interception to the Nicholls 5-yard line. The defense stuffed the Lions at the 1 on third down and SLU went for it on fourth, but quarterback D’shaie Landor slipped on a QB sneak for a loss, giving Nicholls the ball. But things started to look bleak from then on when on third-and-long from the Colonel 3, Henderson was sacked in the end zone for a safety by Justin Church for a 9-3 SLU lead. For the rest of the second, Southeastern added two rushing touchdowns and Henderson’s second interception led to a Lion fi eld goal, putting the Lions up 27-3 at the break. In the third, Southeastern blew the game open with three more touchdowns. Blaine Arnold caught a 10-yard score in the fi rst drive, Landor rushed in for a 9-yard TD fi ve minutes later and Barnett connected with Jarrell Bennett for a 32-yard score with 2:38 remaining. Nicholls had an opportunity to score after a 29-yard catch by Bolt and a 34-yard rush by Henry put Nicholls inside the Lion 10, but the secondary batted away a fourth-down pass by Hebert to keep Nicholls out of the end zone. On the Colonels’ next drive, Bolt came through with a 45-yard catch, but Nicholls turned the ball over on downs in the red zone once again. Leading 48-3 in the fourth, the Lions ended the scoring with an 88-yard TD run by Hayes and a 3-yard touchdown run by Harrell. Senior Davin Bovie led the Colonel defense with seven tackles, giving him 108 for the season, which is the most since Lee Rogers had 114 in 2000.

CLOSE, BUT NO CIGARAfter taking a 7-3 lead against UCA, Nicholls elected to go for the onside kick. Although the Colonels were close in recovering it, UCA scooped it up and returned in 20 yards. UCA scored a touchdown on the next play.

NICHOLLS FOOTBALL 2015 GAME NOTES - SOUTHEASTERN LA.

STARTED FROM THE BASES NOW HE’S HERECornerback Darius Knight joined the football team over the summer after playing two seasons with the Colonel baseball team. A junior college transfer, Knight logged 64 starts in his two seasons with the Nicholls baseball team, helping lead the Colonels to back-to-back top three fi nishes in the Southland. He was third on the team in batting average in 2015, hitting .275 with 12 RBIs, 25 runs scored and led the conference with 12 sacrifi ce bunts.

SHOWSTOPPERFreshman defensive back Ahmani Martin has single-handedly prevented fi ve touchdowns this season. His two interceptions came in or near the opponent’s end zone, he has two pass breakups in the end zone, and also forced a fumble at the goal line. Last week, Martin added a fumble recovery to his resume

THE ROADLike Cormac McCarthy’s novel, Nicholls’ fi rst half of the schedule pitted the Colonels on a long dreary road as the Red and Gray play 4 of its fi rst 5 games away from home. Before the win at Lamar, the Colonels had not won a road conference game since their 37-7 win at Northwestern State on 11/13/10 (18 games).

SNAPPING SKIDSWith the win over Houston Baptist, the Colonels not only gave Coach Rebowe his fi rst career win, but the Colonels closed the books on a 23-game losing streak. Last week at Lamar, Nicholls put to rest to road skids - 18 Southland road games and 16 straight away games.

LARDARIUS WEBBFormer Colonel and current Baltimore Raven Lardarius Webb was voted into the Nicholls Athletics Hall of Fame after appearing on the ballot for the fi rst time in 2014. Webb, who became the second Colonel in the last fi ve seasons to win a Super Bowl ring after his Ravens defeated San Francisco in Super Bowl XLVII, 34-31, had a storied career at Nicholls, earning All-American honors in both of his seasons as he racked up nearly 40 individual awards. Webb is in his seventh season with the Ravens.

LAGNIAPPES PART II NEW STAFFThe 2015 Colonel coaching staff not only has a new person at the helm, but the entire staff is different from last season.

ROB CHRISTOPHEL (OC/QB)Christophel directs the offense and coaches the quarterbacks. He came to Nicholls after eight seasons at Missouri State. He also served as the OC at Louisiana-Lafayette from 2001-06.

TOMMY RYBACKI (DC/LB)Rybacki oversees the defense after spending one season at UCA as cornerbacks coach where the Bears were second in interceptions with 16. Also coached at ULL as a GA from 2011-13.

ANTHONY CAMP (DL)Camp heads the defensive line after coaching six years in the local high school ranks. His last stint was as DC at Catholic in Baton Rouge, helping the team to a 26-8 record during his tenure.

RUSS GISCLAIR (TE)Gisclair joined Nicholls after lettering four seasons with the Colonels from 2010-13. At fullback, Gisclair appeared in 38 career games for the Colonels. Following graduation, he worked at Vandebilt Catholic in Houma and in 2015, joined the McNeese State staff as a defensive assistant.

SEAN MURPHY (WR)Murphy came to Nicholls after spending three seasons at Louisiana-Lafayette as a graduate assistant. In the last two campaigns, he served as an assistant coach for the wide receivers and was the scout team coordinator.

ALAN RICARD (RB)Ricard joined Nicholls after coaching the running backs for one season at The Apprentice School, a Division III program in Virginia. Prior to the season, he completed an internship with the NFL’s New York Jets during the summer which lasted through training camp. A former fullback in the NFL, Ricard is a graduate of ULM.

LEE ROUSSEL (OL)Roussel joined Nicholls after coaching at Archbishop Rummel for fi ve seasons. Along with coaching the o-line, he took over as OC in 2014 as the Raiders fi nished the regular season at 10-0 and ranked No. 1 in the state in Class 5A.

MARCUS SCOTT (DB)Scott came to Nicholls after serving as head coach at West Jefferson High (La.) from 2008-13. During his tenure, the Buccaneers posted a 38-26 record, reached the playoffs in each season and claimed two district titles – in 2008 and 2009.

BRIAN WALLACE (LB)Wallace came to Nicholls after coaching at his alma mater, Louisiana College, for three seasons. While at LC, he served as co-defensive coordinator, linebackers coach and recruiting coordinator.

NEW DCNicholls entered the season with its third defensive coordinator in as many years. After ranking near or at the bottom of the FCS in several defensive categories last season, fi rst-year coordinator Tommy Rybacki has the task of revamping the defense. Rybacki has familiar ties to the Southland as he came to Nicholls after coaching three seasons at Central Arkansas.

ON THE AIRWAVESESPN Radio New Orleans, KLRZ 100.3 FM will be the home for Colonel football for all 11 games. KLRZ is an 89,000 watt FM station devoting 27 hours a week to live, local programming. In addition to live coverage of each game, ESPN Radio New Orleans will conduct interviews with Colonel coaches and players throughout the season. Bryant Johnson will cover play-by-play and will be joined by Seth Thomas (color) and Kyle Carrier (sideline).

THE MANNING CAMPOver the summer, Nicholls State University hosted The Manning Passing Academy for the 11th consecutive year. The four-day camp, put on by the Manning family - Archie and his sons, Cooper, Eli and Peyton - brought in close to 1,200 high school campers from all over the country. In addition to the Manning’s, every year some of the most elite NCAA quarterbacks act as camp counselors. Current NFL starting quarterbacks that were recently counselors include Andrew Luck, Andy Dalton and Marcus Mariota.

SOUTHLAND CHAMPIONSThe program is celebrating its 10-year anniversary of its Southland Conference Championship. In 2005, the Colonels went 5-1 in Southland play which included a win over co-champion Texas State. Nicholls went on to play Furman in the playoffs and was defeated, 14-12.

at Nicholls for six years, not only brings a wealth of experi-ence coaching at the collegiate level, but has strong ties to the state of Louisiana having coached within the borders his entire career.

Rebowe helped lead the Ragin’ Cajun program to four consecutive New Orleans Bowl victories and a conference championship under head coach Mark Hudspeth. Dur-ing his tenure at ULL, Rebowe has served as the safeties coach (2004-07, 2011-14) and linebackers coach (2008-10).

Last season, ULL’s defense ranked fi rst in the Sun Belt in rushing yards allowed and red zone defense, while ranking second in points allowed. The defense fi nished with seven interceptions on the year, including two by cornerback Corey Trim, who was named All-Sun Belt Second Team Defense.

Under Rebowe’s tutelage in 2013, the Cajuns tied for the conference lead with 14 interceptions. Two years prior, his safeties combined for fi ve interceptions, with three returned for touchdowns.

Rebowe’s group had a stellar year in his fi rst season as defensive backs coach in 2004 as the defense ranked 11th in the nation in passing yards allowed. Both of his starting safeties that year, C.C. Brown and Antwain Spann, would go on to the NFL. The following season, the pass defense fi nished 23rd in the nation in yards allowed. As a linebackers coach, Rebowe guided the team’s lead-ing tackler in all three seasons and also had two players earn All-Sun Belt recognition. In 1995, Rebowe took his fi rst collegiate job, joining Dar-ren Barbier’s staff at Nicholls. From ‘95-’99, he served as defensive backs coach and special teams coordinator before coaching the receivers in 2000. Rebowe was part of the biggest turnaround in FCS history as the Colonels went 0-11 in ‘95 before earning a playoff spot the very next season with an 8-4 mark. Rebowe began his coaching career in 1988 at his alma mater, Destrehan High School. While at Destrehan, he coached future NFL Hall of Famer Ed Reed. Following his stint with Nicholls, Rebowe coached the cornerbacks at ULM from 2001-03. Rebowe earned his bachelor of science in physical educa-tion from LSU in 1987. He is married to the former Kim Ro-bichaux and they have a daughter, Samantha, and a son, Tyler, who is an infi elder on the Colonel baseball team.

MONROE, La. – The ULM Warhawks put together a 30-point second quarter to pull away from the Nicholls State University football team as the Colonels fell in their season opener, 47-0, Saturday night at Malone Stadium. The loss spoiled the debut of Nicholls head coach Tim Rebowe and pushed the Colonels’ overall losing streak to 19 games. ULM (1-1), which plays at the FBS level, improved its all-time record to 23-3 against the Colonels and has won the last nine meetings. Saturday night’s matchup was the fi rst contest between the instate schools since 2000. Nicholls was limited to 260 yards on offense and gave up 593 yards. Michael Henry had a solid fi rst half for the Colonels, rushing for 74 yards on 11 carries. He added four more carries after the break, fi nishing with 77 yards. Tuskani Figaro got the start under center, passing for 101 yards on 10 of 17. ULM set the tone early by scoring on its fi rst two drives. Following a fi eld goal on the game’s opening drive, the Warhawks took a 10-0 lead after Devontae McNeal scored on a 3-yard touchdown. Nicholls went three-and-out in each of its fi rst three drives in the quarter. The Warhawks broke open the game in the second quarter, led by quarterback Garrett Smith who accounted four all four touchdowns in the stanza. Smith started the scoring with a 10-yard touchdown run and followed up with his fi rst of three passing TDs before the half with a 13-yard strike to Ajalen Holley. Holley had a big night for ULM, catching eight balls for 155 yards. Down 24-0, Nicholls pieced together a 9-play, 57-yard drive, but came up empty on the scoreboard. On a 4th-and-3 from the ULM 24, Rebowe elected to go for it, but the Warhawks hit Figaro in the backfi eld and forced the ball loose. ULM then closed out the half with 16 points. Smith hit Harley Scioneaux for a 17-yard score and the defense blocked a punt into the end zone for a safety. After the free kick, Smith connected with Holley for a 47-yard touchdown for a 40-0 lead. Smith fi nished with 370 yards and completed 26 of 33 passes. The Colonels had their best drive of the night early in the third quarter, going 82 yards on 14 plays. Figaro and Terry Lucas Jr. hooked up for a 31-yard pass, but after the ULM defense held strong inside the 10-yard line, Francisco Condado missed on a 21-yard fi eld goal. Lucas led the team with fi ve receptions for 51 yards. ULM added a rushing ouchdown in the fourth to make the fi nal. The Warhawks racked up 202 yards on the ground, while Nicholls fi nished with 159. Tobias Lofton added 39 yards on 10 carries for the Colonels. B.T. Sanders led Nicholls with 12 tackles and Hezekiah White added nine.

SAN ANTONIO, Texas – A valiant effort by the defense and a halftime lead were not enough to pick up the fi rst win of the season for Nicholls as the Colonels fell, 20-10, to Incarnate Word on Saturday afternoon at Benson Stadium. With the loss, Nicholls dropped to 0-2 on the season and 0-1 in Southland play. The Colonels have now lost 20 consecutive games, including 15 straight in conference. UIW improved to 2-1 on the season and 1-1 in league play. For only the second time in the past 15 games, Nicholls held a lead at the half as the team went into the locker room ahead, 10-7. But the Colonel offense could only muster two fi rst downs after the break and UIW scored 13 unanswered points to improve to 2-0 all-time against Nicholls. Both defenses held the opposition to under 300 yards of total offense and combined for six intercep-tions, with UIW picking off the Colonels four times. Of the six turnovers, none had a bigger impact on the outcome of the game as Darius Knight’s would-be interception return late in the fourth quarter. Following a pair of fi eld goals to gain the lead for UIW, 13-10, the Cardinals came up with an intercep-tion which gave them the ball at their own 42. After chewing fi ve minutes off the clock, UIW moved deep into Colonel territory with six minutes remaining in the game. On third-and-goal, Knight picked off a pass and returned it 93 yards for a potential game-winning touchdown; however, the Colonels were fl agged for an illegal block, moving the ball back to their own 16. A UIW sack on quarterback Landry Klann, who played most of the second half, forced a three-and-out and gave the Cardinals the ball back with 4:31 to go. A 37-yard run by Broderick Reeves started UIW’s drive and after Nicholls called all three of its timeouts, Trent Brittain ran a naked bootleg for a 4-yard touchdown on third-and-goal with just 1:18 remaining in the game. The Cardinals intercepted Klann’s fi rst pass on the fi nal drive before kneeling the rest of the way. Tuskani Figaro started under center for Nicholls, completing 13 of 18 passes for 113 yards and a touchdown. Klann fi nished the day 3 of 5 for 23 yards. Both Colonel quarterbacks threw a pair of interceptions. Figaro orchestrated a great drive on the Colonels’ opening possession to give Nicholls an early lead. Head coach Tim Rebowe elected to kick after winning the toss, and after the defense forced a three-and-out, the Colonels marched 96 yards on nine plays. On the third play, Tobias Lofton picked up a huge chunk of real estate, racing 34 yards down the fi eld. Figaro connected with C.J. Bates for a 19-yard gain and on third-and-2 from the 5, the duo hooked up again for the Colonels’ fi rst touchdown of the season. Francisco Condado added the extra point for the 7-0 lead. UIW responded with its own lengthy drive which extended into the second quarter, going 84 yards on nine plays to even the score at 7-7. On third-and-short inside the Colonel 15, Brittain found Cole Wick open for a 12-yard touchdown. Later in the quarter, UIW shanked a punt to give Nicholls great fi eld position, starting at UIW’s 29. Condado would take advantage as he booted a 42-yard fi eld goal to put Nicholls back on top, 10-7.

BOULDER, Colo. – Nicholls was held to just 166 yards on offense against Colorado and the Buf-faloes used a 21-point fi rst quarter to cruise to a 48-0 victory over the Colonels in front of 37,302 fans Saturday afternoon at Folsom Field. The offensive struggles continued for Nicholls (0-3) as the Colonels managed just eight fi rst downs against FBS Colorado, which won its third straight game to improve to 3-1. The Buffaloes used a balanced attack to account for their seven touchdowns, racking up 358 yards rushing and 278 yards passing. The Colonels gained 126 of its yards on the ground, led by Michael Henry’s 65 yards on 15 carries. Tuskani Figaro threw for just 40 yards, completing 6 of 22 passes. C.J. Bates led the team with 27 yards on two receptions. The game was never in much doubt as Colorado produced three touchdowns on its fi rst three drives for an early 21-0 lead. CU scored on the game’s opening possession, marching 70 yards and found the end zone on a 4-yard run by Phillip Lindsay. Following a 25-yard punt by Nicholls, the Buffaloes made it 14-0 on a 1-yard run by Christian Powell. On the Buffaloes’ third scoring drive, the Colonel defense forced a third-and-18, but Sefo Liufau hit Jay MacIntyre for a 38-yard touchdown on the play. For the game, Sefo completed 13 of 21 passes for 227 yards, while Lindsay had 113 yards rushing and two touchdowns on 17 carries for Colorado. But after the rough start for Nicholls, the defense was able to come up with a pair of big plays in the second quarter. With Colorado in the red zone, Jonavon Lewis ripped the ball loose on a run by Powell, and Hezekiah White came up with the ball for the Colonels. On Colorado’s next drive, the defense stuffed a fourth-and-1 attempt at the Colonel 6, keeping the score 21-0. CU would add a 46-yard fi eld goal by Diego Gonzalez to take a 24-0 lead into the locker room. Despite the inspired effort by the defense in the second quarter, the offense was never able to get anything going. The Colonels’ longest play of the day came on a 28-yard run by Henry, which came immediately after the fumble recovery. The third quarter was much like the fi rst as Colorado scored 17 to put the game away. After misfi ring on a 26-yard fi eld goal, the Buffaloes scored on their next drive on a 1-yard plunge by Lindsay. On their next possession, Donovan Lee, who had 103 yards rushing on 10 carries, broke free for a 59 yard touchdown run. Colorado ended the scoring in the third with a 46-yard fi eld goal by Gonzalez. Nicholls did not pick up a fi rst down in the quarter, punting on all fi ve possessions. For the game, Tyler St. Germain fi nished with nine punts, averaging 41.3 yards per punt. In the fourth, Kyle Evans ran one in for the Buffaloes from 2-yards out with fi ve minutes remaining to make the fi nal, 48-0. The defense was led by Hezekiah White, who fi nished with 11 tackles and a fumble recovery. Corey Abraham added eight tackles, while Darryl Adams and B.T Sanders added six each.

THIBODAUX, La. – Playing in front of its home crowd for the fi rst time this season, Nicholls was handed a 37-7 loss by nationally-ranked McNeese State on Homecoming on Saturday at John L. Guidry Stadium. After leading 7-0 through the fi rst quarter, McNeese scored three touchdowns in the second period to go up 27-0. Right before the break, the Colonels scored their second touchdown of the year as quarterback Tuskani Figaro found Damion Jeanpiere for a 52-yard touchdown. But the long touch-down would be all McNeese would allow the rest of the way and the Cowboy defense/special teams accounted for the second-half scoring en route to the 30-point victory. McNeese headed into the matchup with one of the top defenses in the FCS and the Cowboys held true to the ranking. Nicholls was limited to 239 yards of offense, 12 fi rst downs and just 35 yards rushing. The Colonels also turned the ball over three times, with second coming on a sack/fumble in the end zone, which was recovered by McNeese for a touchdown. For the game, McNeese got to the Nicholls quarterbacks six times for a loss of 32 yards. Colonel quarterback Tuskani Figaro completed 14 of 20 passes for 177 yards and a score, with his main target being Jeanpiere. The freshman from Metairie had a breakout performance, hauling in fi ve catches for 112 yards and a touchdown to become the fi rst 100-yard receiver for the Red and Gray this season.

The Cowboys went 66 yards for the fi rst scoring drive, scoring on a 34-yard pass from Daniel Sams to Tavarious Battiste. In the second quarter, a short punt gave McNeese great fi eld position and they went on to capitalize as Ryan Ross ran the ball in for a score from six yards out. A missed extra-point kick kept the score at 13-0. On McNeese’s next possession, the visitors put together a 14-play, 90-yard drive which led to a 20-0 advantage. Sams fueled the drive with a 19-yard run before capping it off with a 4-yard score. The Cowboys then got the ball right back as Darius Knight fumbled the kick return at midfi eld. On the next play, Sams threw a lateral pass back to receiver David Bush, who then bombed it down the fi eld to a wide open Kent Shelby for a 49-yard touchdown. A Jean Breaux extra-point made the score 27-0 with 1:31 until the intermission. But Nicholls answered with its own lengthy play, cutting the score to 27-7 right before the break. On second-and-7 from midfi eld, Figaro found a streaking Jeanpiere up the left sideline for a 52-yard touchdown with 27 seconds remaining in the half. Francisco Condado tacked on the extra point as the Colonels headed to the locker room with a little momentum. After the break, McNeese added a defensive touchdown on a sack and the offense tacked on a fi eld goal. For the Colonels, three players – Geoffrey Hebert, Hezekiah White and B.T. Sanders - fi nished with eight tackles including one for loss. Sanders was credited with a sack after jarring the ball loose from Sams in the third quarter, but it ended up being one of several missed opportunities for a turnover as McNeese was able to recover it.

NACOGDOCHES, Texas – Nicholls held the lead over Stephen F. Austin for all but 50 seconds, including a 21-7 advantage at half time, but the Lumberjacks rallied and scored the game-winning touchdown with 26 seconds left to defeat the Colonels, 28-24, at Homer Bryce Stadium. The Colonels racked up a season-high 356 yards on offense, with 239 coming before the break. SFA, which had 458 yards on offense, held Nicholls to a lone fi eld goal in the second half as they found the end zone three times. Leading 24-21 in the fourth quarter, Nicholls was forced to punt, giving SFA the ball on their 16 with 6:26 to go. Lumberjack quarter Zach Conque orchestrated the offense to four fi rst downs, including a 16-yard rush to get the home team into the red zone with less than two minutes remaining. On third down, Conque was forced out of bounds at the 5 by Darryl Adams, making it fourth-and-1. The ‘Jacks elected to put the ball into his hands again and he barreled through the defense for a 4-yd gain. On the next play, Conque rushed it in for a 1-yard touchdown with only 26 seconds remaining in the game. An extra point made the score 28-24. On the ensuing kickoff, Joel Dullary was hit and fumbled, and the ball was recovered by SFA to seal the win. Tuskani Figaro led the Colonel offense, completing 9 of 13 passes for 148 yards and a touchdown. Figaro also rushed for 52 yards and a score, but left the game in the third quarter with an injury. Nicholls needed only two plays and 24 seconds to take a 7-0 lead. Starting on the 25, Figaro found Damion Jeanpiere open for a 45-yard reception. On the next play, Figaro ran to the left and up the sideline on a keeper for a 30-yard touchdown. SFA answered by driving down to the Colonels’ 23, but on fourth-and-long, Ahmani Martin batted away a pass in the end zone to keep SFA off the board. Jeanpiere then struck again for the Colonel offense, hauling in a 42-yard pass on the second play of the possession. Facing a third-and-2 at the SFA 3, Michael Henry rumbled through defenders for a 3-yard touchdown. Francisco Condado added the extra point for a 14-0 lead. Henry fi nished the game with 59 yards rushing on 15 carries. After an SFA touchdown, Nicholls pieced together a 12-play, 85-yard drive to take a 21-7 lead. Darryl Watson hauled in three receptions on the drive, capping it with an 8-yard touchdown at the 10:04 mark. Watson fi nished the game with four catches for 80 yards. In the third, SFA scored on a 96-yard drive to make the score 21-14. After SFA missed a fi eld goal to start the fourth, Landry Klann hit Watson for a 42-yard pass to put Nicholls across midfi eld. Condado extended the lead to 24-14 on a 32-yard fi eld goal with 10:50 remaining in the game. SFA quickly answered, needing just 1:29 to go 66 yards. Nicholls was able to string together a pair of fi rst downs, taking 2:48 off the clock before a 37-yard punt by Tyler St. Germain was fair caught, setting the stage for SFA’s game-winning drive.

Along with the four turnovers, Nicholls’ defense was able to produce three sacks on the day. Heze-kiah White and Geoffrey Hebert led the way with 10 tackles each. White had 1.5 sacks while Hebert was credited with 0.5. Devin Simoneaux also chipped in with a sack.

THIBODAUX, La. – Behind a combined 183 yards rushing and four touchdowns by Tuskani Figaro and Michael Henry, Nicholls earned its fi rst victory under fi rst-year head coach Tim Rebowe as the Colonels defeated Houston Baptist, 38-17, in Southland Conference action on Saturday afternoon. The Colonels, which had lost the last 23 games including a 31-21 setback at Houston Baptist last season, dominated the Huskies early on by jumping out to a 21-0 lead through the fi rst quarter. HBU (2-5, 0-4 SLC) scored 10 points in the second; however, the Colonel defense would not allow another score until late in the fourth quarter when the game was well out of reach. Nicholls (1-5, 1-3 SLC) outgained HBU 425-221 in total offensive yards, helped by an outstanding performance by the defense. The Colonels allowed just 30 yards rushing and 10 fi rst downs by the Huskies, while tallying two sacks, a fumble recovery and two interceptions – both by Jeff Hall. Figaro led the Colonel offense with 134 yards passing on 18 of 25 and added 91 yards rushing and two touchdowns. Henry fi nished with 92 yards rushing and two scores and Tobias Lofton added 69 yards rushing, highlighted by 39-yard touchdown run in the third quarter. As a team, the Colonels racked up 291 yards rushing on the day.

The defense set the tone early as Christian Boutte caused and recovered a fumble deep inside HBU territory, setting up a 3-yard touchdown run by Figaro. After forcing another punt, the offense went 72 yards on 13 plays, capped with a 1-yard touchdown run by Henry. Before the end of the fi rst, Nicholls quickly scored again for a 21-0 lead. Figaro rushed for 23 yards to move Nicholls into the red zone and Xavier Marcus caught a 16-yard pass, being stopped just short of the goal line. Henry then plowed in for his second rushing touchdown of the quarter. Early in the second, HBU cracked the scoreboard on a 2-play drive. The Huskies got a great 49-yard catch by D’Angelo Wallace to the 1-yard line, and B.J. Kelly punched it in to make the score 21-7. Later in the quarter, HBU added a 43-yard fi eld goal by Travis Shinn as time expired to make the score 21-10 at the half.

Nicholls received the ball after the break and took advantage of a kickoff out-of-bounds, starting the drive at their own 35. After the offense picked up two fi rst downs, Lofton dazzled the home crowd as he eluded a Husky defender with a spin move halfway through his 39-yard touchdown run. Trailing 28-10 late in the third, HBU elected to go for it on fourth down from the Nicholls 32 and Hall made a leaping catch for an interception in the end zone. In the fourth, Nicholls put to rest any chance of a comeback with a prolonged seven-minute touchdown drive. After crossing midfi eld, the Colonels rushed the ball seven consecutive times, with Figaro ending the drive with a 14-yard touchdown run. On HBU’s fi rst play of the ensuing possession, Hall picked off Tony Dawson and returned it 31 yards to HBU’s 17, setting up a 31-yard fi eld goal by Condado with 6:29 to play. Kelly added a 3-yard touchdown run for HBU to make the fi nal. Nicholls held the ball for over 40 minutes in the contest, resulting in the defense’s leading tackler Hezekiah White lowest total of the season with six. B.T. Sanders also had six, while freshmen Kenny Dotson and Chris Major each had a sack.

HUNTSVILLE, Texas – Turnovers and special teams gaffes by Nicholls led to 30 points for Sam Houston as the Colonels fell, 37-7, Saturday night in a torrential downpour at Bowers Stadium. Battling the weather conditions, Nicholls (1-6, 1-4 SLC) and Sam Houston combined for just 98 yards passing and 13 completions out of 37 attempts. The Colonels rushed for 143 yards, getting 88 yards from Tuskani Figaro, 51 from Michael Henry and 40 from Tobias Lofton. The Bearkats had 310 yards on the ground, led by Jalen Overstreet who had 200 yards and a score on 28 carries. With the heavy rain playing a huge factor in the game, fi eld position and turnovers turned out to be the difference in the outcome. Sam Houston (5-2, 5-1 SLC) fumbled three times but recovered all three, while Nicholls lost the ball twice. In the fi eld position battle, four of the Bearkats’ fi ve touchdown drives started inside the Nicholls 30-yard line. The troubles started right out of the gate for the Colonels as a high snap on a punt attempt sent the ball into the end zone for a safety, giving the Bearkats a 2-0 lead after a minute of play. Sam Houston then pieced together a 7-play, 64-yard touchdown drive. Deon Hutchinson caught a 13-yard pass from Jared Johnson, and the extra point made it 9-0 at the 11:49 mark. While the Colonel offense was held without a fi rst down in the opening quarter, the defense forced two punts to keep the score close. However, mistakes by the offense and special teams led to a pair of short touchdowns by the Bearkats. On a screen pass, Torian Williams came up with an intercep-tion at the Colonel 20 for the Bearkats, resulting in an acrobatic 3-yard touchdown catch by Hayden Cagle. On the ensuring possession, Nicholls had an 18-yard punt go out-of-bounds at its 29. The Bearkats needed just four plays to score as Corey Avery ran in from 12 yards for a 23-0 lead. Early in the second, the Colonels picked up their fi rst and second fi rst downs of the game on a 10-yard rush by Lofton and a 7-yard catch by Stephen LeBouef, but the drive ended on the Bearkat 34 as Figaro threw an incomplete pass on a fourth-and-7. Right before the break, punter Tyler St. Germain kneeled to fi eld the ball on a punt attempt, and after review, it was determined that his knee touched the ground, resulting in a turnover-on-downs that gave the Bearkats the ball at the Colonel 22. Two plays later, Overstreet found the end zone on a 12-yard rush to give Sam Houston a 30-0 lead at the break. Early in the third quarter, Figaro had the ball stripped on a sack by P.J. Hall, who recovered it at the Colonel 15. The turnover led to an 11-yard touchdown run by Ridgeway Frank, making the score 37-0 with 12 minutes remaining in the period. The Colonels’ lone touchdown of the night came on an 80-yard run by Figaro at the 3:37 mark in the third. On the second play of the drive, Figaro found a seam through the defense and outran the Bearkats down the left sideline for his fourth rushing TD of the season. It marked Figaro’s second longest touchdown run for his career, trailing only his 88-yard rush against Arkansas Tech in 2013. For the rest of the game, the teams combined to pass the ball only fi ve times as neither team added points to the scoreboard.

THIBODAUX, La. – Nicholls had a pair of 100-yard rushers in Michael Henry and Tuskani Figaro, but the Colonels were unable to limit Northwestern State’s ground game as the Demons racked up 348 yards rushing en route to a 37-21 victory on Saturday at John L. Guidry Stadium. The loss dropped Nicholls’ record to 1-7 overall and 1-5 in the Southland, while Northwestern State improved to 2-6 and 2-4. The Demons retained the rivalry trophy for the second straight season as they improved their all-time record against the Colonels to 28-15. For the second straight weekend, the weather played a major role in the teams’ offensive playcalling as heavy rain and gusty winds forced both squads to look to its running game. The Colonels gained 310 yards rushing, but lost a total of 51 which included yardage lost on sacks and a high snap that resulted in a safety. Henry rushed for a career-high 154 yards and a touchdown on 23 carries, while Figaro fi nished with his sixth career 100-yard game, tallying 114 yards and a score on 17 carries. Unlike last weekend at Sam Houston, Nicholls was able to pass the ball as Figaro tallied 176 yards on 15 of 28 attempts; however, turnovers proved costly as the Red and Gray gave up the ball four times – three times on fumbles and one on an interception. Both teams turned the football over to start the contest as Figaro lost the ball on the fourth play of the game, but Chris Major intercepted a pass from Stephen Rivers to give Nicholls the ball back. The Colonels then struck fi rst as Figaro hit Henry for a 19-yard touchdown pass for the early lead. The Demons quickly answered by rushing the ball on all seven plays of their scoring drive, capped on a 1-yard plunge by De’Mard Llorens. The NSU tailback caused problems for Nicholls all game as he racked up 166 yards rushing and four touchdowns. Llorens’ added two more scores – 24 yards and 13 yards - on NSU’s next two possessions, giving the Demons a 21-7 lead early in the second quarter. Nicholls then went 74 yards on 11 plays to make it a one-possession game. Terry Lucas Jr. and C.J. Bates both had two receptions on the drive, and Henry polished it off with a 1-yard rush with 1:49 until halftime. Both Bates and Lucas fi nished with four receptions for 47 yards. To start the third, Llorens had a 28-yard rush to fuel a scoring drive for the Demons and added his fourth touchdown on a 2-yard run. On the ensuing possession, the Colonels had a bad snap on their own 20 and the ball went out of the back of the end zone for a safety, making the score 30-14.With 8:12 remaining in third, Demon running back Daniel Taylor caught a pass in the fl at from Ste-phen Rivers and took it 38 yards to pay dirt for a commanding 37-14 lead.

Before the end of the third, Figaro found an opening down the left sideline and scored on a 39-yard touchdown run to trim the defi cit to 37-21. Early in the fourth, Llorens looked to be on his way to his fi fth touchdown of the day, but Ahmani Mar-tin chased him down on a 42-yard rush before he crossed the goal line, stripping the ball into the end zone for a touchback. However, the Demon defense was stout the rest of the way, holding Nicholls to one fi rst down in its next two drives. On the Colonels’ fi nal drive, Chase Collins put the stamp on NSU’s victory with an interception. The Colonel defense was led by Seth Keller with 11 tackles, and Hezekiah White added nine stops.

BEAUMONT, Texas – Nicholls and Lamar combined to rush for 783 yards and eight touchdowns, but the game came down to special teams as Francisco Condado’s 28-yard fi eld goal late in the fourth quarter lifted the Colonels to a thrilling 30-28 victory Saturday night at Provost Umphrey Stadium. After Condado’s fi eld goal at the 2:46 mark, Lamar (4-5, 3-4 SLC) marched down the fi eld to put itself in position for a victory. Following a pass interference that moved the ball into the red zone, Nicholls (2-7, 2-5 SLC) kept the Cardinals out of the end zone on the next three plays. LU called a timeout with 3 seconds remaining in the game to set up a 23-yard fi eld goal by Alex Ball, but the ball sailed right of the upright and the Colonels stormed the fi eld in jubilation as the clock expired. While Lamar’s Kade Harrington showed why he is the nation’s top running back as he fi nished with 255 yards rushing and two touchdowns, the Colonels racked up a season-high 415 yards on the ground. Tobias Lofton led the way with a career-high 154 yards and a score on 17 carries, while Michael Henry was a workhorse, grinding out 100 yards and a pair of touchdowns on 31 carries. Starting quarterback Tuskani Figaro ran for 75 yards on his only carry of the game, but was injured on the play and did not return. In relief, senior Landry Klann rushed for 60 yards and a touchdown, while also adding 144 yards passing on 10 of 20 attempts. Harrington struck fi rst for the home team, scoring on a 9-yard touchdown run on the opening drive of the game. But Nicholls needed less than a minute to tie it up as Figaro’s rush put the Colonels inside the 5, and Henry ran untouched from two yards out. The fi reworks then continued in the opening quarter as Harrington broke loose for a 68-yard touchdown, putting LU up 14-7. Early in the second, LU quarterback Carson Earp joined the party as he ran 72 yards for a touch-down, making the score 21-7. However, Nicholls answered with its own long run as Lofton sprinted past the Cardinal defenders for an 82-yard touchdown. The rush by Lofton was the longest for the Colonels’ this season, surpassing Figaro’s 80-yard touchdown run against Sam Houston. On the ensuing possession, Lamar looked to be on its way to add to the lead, but Ahmani Martin intercepted a pass by Joe Minden in the end zone. The Cardinals did have a chance for a fi eld goal before the half, but Ball missed on a 46-yard attempt as time expired. To start the third, Charles Henderson came through with a big kick return for Nicholls, running 40 yards to midfi eld. Henry would tie the game at 21 after fi nding the end zone for the second time, scor-ing from nine yards out. The tie was short-lived; however, as Harrington rushed 44 yards to set up a touchdown run by Minden. But the Colonels had an answer once again, this time using the passing game to move the ball down the fi eld. On a second-and-six, Klann threw a deep pass to C.J. Bates, and Bates out-leaped a pair of defenders for a 41-yard catch. Klann then fi nished off the drive with a 5-yard touchdown run, but Condado’s extra point hit the upright, leaving the score at 28-27 Lamar. In the fourth, the Colonels caught a break as Earp fumbled the ball at the Nicholls 30 and the defense came up with a turnover with seven minutes to go. The Colonel running backs then took over as Hen-ry rushed for 18- and 11-yard gains, and Lofton tacked on a 15-yard rush. The Colonels settled for Condado’s 28-yard fi eld goal for their fi rst lead of the night and what proved to be the game winner. Bates led the Colonel receivers with 48 yards on two receptions, while Terry Lucas Jr. added three grabs for 44 yards. On defense, B.T. Sanders recorded 13 tackles and Martin added 10.

GAME 10: CENTRAL ARKANSAS 34. NICHOLLS 31NOV. 14, 2015 IN THIBODAUX, LA.

MANNING FIELD AT JOHN L. GUIDRY STADIUMTHIBODAUX, La. – Facing a 17-point defi cit in the fourth quarter, Nicholls gave the home crowd their money’s worth as they rallied for two touchdowns against Central Arkansas before coming up six yards short of the game-winning score as time expired in a 34-31 loss Saturday night at John L. Guidry Stadium. The Colonels honored 23 seniors before the game and none had a bigger night than quarterback Landry Klann. He fi nished the night with 30 completions on 47 attempts, 368 yards passing and four touchdowns – all career highs. With Nicholls trailing 34-17 early in the fourth after Blake Veasley (141 yards rushing) found the end zone for the second time, Klann tossed two touchdown passes – a 51-yarder to senior Terry Lucas Jr., and a 17-yard strike to Stephen LeBouef – to pull Nicholls within three with six minutes remaining. Nicholls then forced a punt deep in UCA territory after a sack by Lazarus Ona, but was unable to capitalize and turned the ball over on downs at midfi eld. But the defense held and forced a punt, giving Nicholls the ball at its own 20 with 55 seconds remaining. On 3rd-and-10 from their 41 with only seconds left, Klann hit Charles Henderson for a completion, which started a chain of seven laterals, ending with Klann being tackled at the UCA 40. However, UCA was fl agged for offside, giving Nicholls the ball at their own 46 with zeros on the clock and one untimed play remaining. The Colonels elected to go for the Hail Mary as Klann heaved the ball down fi eld and Jarrell Rogers came down with it at the six; however, he was tackled immediately as UCA escaped with the three-point victory. After rushing for a season-high 415 yards in the win at Lamar last weekend, Nicholls was held to just 10 yards against Central Arkansas. On defense, the Colonels had three sacks, two by Geoffrey Hebert and one by Ona, and were credited with three forced fumbles.

The fi rst quarter was almost like a boxing match as the teams were feeling each other out in the early going, resulting in a lone fi eld goal by UCA with 11 ticks left on the clock. But in the second quarter, Colonel receiver C.J. Bates wowed the crowd with an electrifying touchdown reception. Although it went for just 15 yards, Bates caught the ball on the far sideline, juked two defenders and stretched the ball across the goal line for a touchdown as he headed out of bounds. Bates had a career night as well, hauling in 11 catches for 112 yards and two scores. The Colonels then tried to surprise the Bears with an onside kick, but UCA recovered it and ran it to the 22. On the next play, Jatavious Wilson rushed in for a touchdown, putting UCA up 10-7 at the 10:17 mark. Nicholls tied the score on a 23-yard fi eld goal by Francisco Condado, but an unfortunate bounce on a UCA punt hit a Colonel blocker and was recovered by UCA inside the Colonel 30. Two plays later, Justin Dickey caught a 27-yard touchdown pass for a 17-10 advantage. On the Colonels’ opening possession in the third, Klann and Bates connected in the back corner of the end zone for a 9-yard touchdown, tying the game at 17. UCA quickly took back the lead on a 33-yard fi eld goal by Jace Denker and then came up with a big interception for another short fi eld, scoring on a 6-yard TD run by Veasley to make the score 27-17 with 7:39 on the clock. Veasley’s second TD early in the fourth gave UCA a 34-17 lead. With just over 10 minutes to go, Darius Knight ignited the team with a forced fumble at midfi eld, which was recovered by Ahmani Martin. Knight and Martin led Nicholls on the day with nine tackles each. On the next play, Lucas caught a pass on the sideline, snuck by two defenders and raced down the fi eld for a 51-yard touchdown. Klann’s fourth and fi nal TD pass went to LeBouef at the 6:13 mark.
