This fall football season will be one of the most anticipated seasons of McNeese Football in quite some time, with the return of Head Coach Matt Viator and the opening of the brand new state-of-the-art Press Box.
Matt Viator will triumphantly return on August 30th when McNeese faces Louisiana Christian at Cowboy Stadium in Lake Charles. This will be the first meeting between the two schools since 1966, a game in which McNeese dominated with a 31-0 victory. This game could also be the one where Matt Viator breaks the all-time wins record at McNeese, which he has been tied for with Bobby Keasler at 78 wins.
A slight change to the schedule this season is that Home games for McNeese will now kick off at 6:00 rather than 7:00.
