Nicholls State Competitive in First Game

Nicholls State in the first game faced off against Lousiana Tech and they were competitive but they ended up losing 25-17. Under center for Nicholls State is Pat McQuaide and he completed 10 of his 26 passes for 138 yards, one touchdown, and zero interceptions. Collin Guggenham also had a strong game finishing with 18 carries for 79 yards. He was the only real strength at running back though. 

They really need a second running back to step up in this game. On defense, they weren’t awful against the run, but they need to improve against the pass. They allowed Blake Baker to throw for 207 yards but they did pick him off twice. Creating turnovers is going to be key in this game. 

LSU Fell Short in the First Game

LSU continues to lose games early in the season and it happened again this year. LSU scored 20 points against USC on Sunday but it wasn’t enough as the defense gave up 27 points. LSU gave up 14 points in the 4th quarter and that was the difference. Garrett Nussmeier did have a strong game completing 29 of his 38 passes for 304 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception. 

John Emery Jr finished with 10 carries for 61 yards. Kyren Lacy looks like he’s going to be a mismatch all year and he caught seven passes for 94 yards and a touchdown. In this game, LSU is going to need to put on a show with the offense They need to try and put on a show early and really run up the score. LSU will take on USC, UCLA, and South Alabama after this clash.

Nicholls State vs LSU Prediction

LSU struggled in the first game, but they have a much easier matchup here. Nicholls State doesn’t have the playmakers, especially in the secondary to slow down the LSU passing attack. LSU is going to want to make a statement in this game and they are going to be passing wild in this game. Nicholls State won’t be keeping up and this game will get out of hand early. Back LSU against the spread.
