🏈McNeese beats Nicholls 16-3 in the rain and snaps a five-game losing streak

If you skipped the soggy homecoming game, here's the short version: McNeese beat Nicholls 16-3 on Saturday at Navarre Stadium. The rain came down from opening kick to the final buzzer, and the Cowboys ended a five-game losing streak to the Colonels.

Passing was barely a thing. Brady Barrier went 3 of 9 for 24 yards and hit Hutch Swilley for a 32-yard touchdown, while Jake Strong went 2 of 7. Omiri Wiggins carried 22 times for 107 yards, and Amyrion Mingo scooped up a fumbled field goal hold and returned it 70 yards for a score.

• Records: McNeese 4-5, 3-3 in the Southland; Nicholls 3-6, 2-4
• Nicholls' 3 points: the fewest against McNeese since 45-3 in 2014
• Next up: at HCU, Saturday, Nov. 7, 4 p.m.
