[TexasTerror]

Story of the game: 3 turnovers (2 INT, 1 fumble). Kats could not capitalize from 1st and G from the N07 that would've made it 31-24 with 9 minutes left. That was the killer. Nicholls just had long drives and they're gonna be dangerous for the Bobcats if they can keep Nealy off the field.

Nicholls special teams was their weakness. Not many penalties on either side. Nicholls sacked Kats twice including 4th and goal when the Kats had that big chance to make it 31-24. Several drops and that's how it was.

You know Kats vs SFA will be a close one as it always is or so we hope...
