Texas State is 5-0 against Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) teams since joining the Sun Belt Conference and Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) in 2013 and will look to keep its streak alive in the final non-conference game of the 2019 season.
The team will host the Nicholls State Colonels inside Bobcat Stadium on Sept. 28 for the first time since leaving the Southland Conference in 2012. The all-time record of the Battle for the Paddle series remains even at 15-15. Texas State won the last meeting between the schools 38-12 on Oct. 1, 2011 in San Marcos.
Nicholls State has been on the upswing recently, winning at least eight games in the past two seasons and making the FCS playoffs both times, and now have the experience to make another leap.
