"I know Southeastern (Louisiana) will get to go there, we will get to go there and it is big for us. It is good for the whole state when you can get a game between Nicholls and LSU."

Nicholls is 1-2 this season, suffering close losses to Georgia (26-24) and South Alabama (41-40).

The Colonels also have first-ever meetings scheduled against Texas A&M next year and Tulane in 2018.
