While nearly everyone is expects LSU to beat Nicholls easily tonight, the Colonels are actually a good team in their own right. They’re the defending Southland Conference champions in the Football Championship Subdivision; and their head coach, Tim Rebowe, is the reigning conference coach of the year.
