Crescent City Sports to produce Oct. 26 ACU-Nicholls game for CST

NEW ORLEANS – For the third consecutive year, Crescent City Sports is producing a Southland Conference football telecast for Cox Sports Television.

CST will broadcast live the Crescent City Sports production of the 3 p.m. Oct. 26 matchup between Abilene Christian and ninth-ranked Nicholls from Thibodaux, the conference office announced Monday afternoon. The telecast is presented by Thibodaux Regional Health System.

Additionally, the game will be seen on ESPN+ in non-CST markets.

Nicholls (4-2, 3-0), the only remaining unbeaten in Southland play, moved back into the top 10 of the AFCA FCS coaches poll Monday after its 45-35 victory over Northwestern State at home on Saturday. The Colonels travel to Sam Houston State this week.

Abilene Christian (3-4, 2-3) is coming off an impressive 45-20 victory over Houston Baptist. The Wildcats, whose three conference losses are by a combined 10 points, play host to Stephen F. Austin this week before heading to Thibodaux.

Ken Berthelot and Wayde Keiser will describe the action of the ACU-Nicholls game.
