The new format also includes playing the same three schools every year. The permanent opponents have yet to be announced.
The 2025 college football season gets underway tomorrow with Nicholls State hosting fourth-ranked Incarnate Word, and the game will be nationally televised on ESPN2. Athletic director Jonathan Terrell (tuh-RELL) says they jumped at the chance to play in Week Zero on national T-V.
Tomorrow night, Southern plays North Carolina Central in Atlanta in the SWAC-MEAC challenge. Southern has yet to name a starting quarterback and they plan to use a running back by committee approach. Jacksonville State transfer Mike Franklin is expected to start and we’ll see if LSU transfer Trey Holly will get some carries.
This week the Saints acquired Devaughn Vele (VAY-lay) from Denver in exchange for a fourth round pick in 2026 and a seventh round pick in 2027. Vele fits a need for a big and physical receiver that New Orleans was missing as he is six-foot-five and 210 pounds. Coach Kellen Moore says the offense will benefit from the addition.
New Orleans will conclude the preseason tomorrow by hosting Denver. Spencer Rattler will start. Tyler Shough and Jake Haener will also take snaps.
