Sacramento State football vs. Nicholls preview

A BRIEF PREVIEW

• Arguably the two best winless FCS teams will meet on Saturday, Sept. 14, at Hornet Stadium when No. 11 Sacramento State welcomes No. 24 Nicholls for the first time in program history. Both teams are 0-2 but each played a pair of FBS opponents on the road.
• Most recently, Sacramento State fell behind 25-3 in the first half against the Bulldogs but rallied to make it a one-score game early in the third quarter. Fresno State added two touchdowns late in the period and was able to record a 46-30 victory. Quarterbacks Kaiden Bennett (one) and Carson Conklin (three) combined for four passing touchdowns with each thrown to different receivers. However, Fresno State had five plays of at least 25 yards, including a 75-yard touchdown pass on the opening play of the game and an 85-yard punt return TD.
