Got a fat calf coming up quickly! The season-opening college football game on American soil is going to pit UIW at Nicholls.
It’ll also be the first Southland Conference game ever on mainstream telecast, Saturday in Thibodaux, LA.
Last two Southland Conference champs are going tete a tete and interestingly enough, somebody’s going to have bragging rights in the all time match-up which stands at 6 and 6.
Nicholls added a bunch of Power 5 guys this off season and they’ve got a brand new head coach, but the Cardinals are not only a road favorite but are also expected to win the Southland for a second straight year.
Jalen Walthall speaks for us all, as you’ll hear on the attached video clip. Head Coach Clint Killough too!
There’s actually another college football game on Saturday with an earlier start time but that one is going to be played in Dublin, Ireland.
This UIW game is at Guidry Stadium in Louisiana on Saturday at noon.
The Cardinals start the season ranked 5th in the entire country.
