ACU's Homecoming contest vs. Nicholls to be on ESPN3

FRISCO – The Southland Conference and its broadcast partners have revealed game selections and start times for football games to be played on Saturday, Oct. 13. While choices for the first four weeks of the regular season were completed during the summer, most picks are made 12 days prior to kickoff in the remaining weeks.

The Southland Game of the Week on ESPN3 will feature Nicholls at Abilene Christian. The Colonels are ranked in both major national polls, having registered wins over FBS foe Kansas and fellow FCS Top 25 squad Sam Houston State. Nicholls topped ACU 29-20 in their only previous meeting last October.

Eleven Sports will offer national television coverage of Central Arkansas at Stephen F. Austin. Cox Sports Television will simulcast the production to its regional audience, while the Southland Digital Network will stream the game.

Cox Sports Television is set to provide regional coverage of Sam Houston State at Northwestern State. ESPN3 will simulcast the production outside CST's territory.

The Southland Conference Digital Network will feature Southeastern Louisiana's homecoming game vs. Houston Baptist, produced by the award-winning Southeastern Channel. It can be viewed on Southland.org/live and Southland Conference apps, available for iPhone, Android, Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV and Roku.

One network designation has not been finalized. Incarnate Word at Lamar will stream on an ESPN platform to be determined.
