Mississippi Valley State (MVSU) is looking to secure its first win of the season in their upcoming game against Nicholls. Both teams enter the contest winless, with MVSU (0-3) coming off a tough road loss to Murray State and Nicholls State (0-3) falling to Sacramento State. Despite the early-season struggles, MVSU has shown flashes of potential, particularly in their passing game, where quarterback Jaydyn Sisk has been a key contributor with 315 yards and 2 touchdowns through the air.

Defensively, MVSU will need to focus on limiting big plays, especially after giving up 579 rushing yards across their first three games​. However, with players like Jordan Montgomery and Erek Campbell leading the charge, there is optimism that MVSU can tighten up on defense.

Nicholls State, on the other hand, has struggled offensively, managing only 74 rushing yards per game and turning the ball over twice on fumbles​. MVSU could look to capitalize on Nicholls' challenges in establishing a ground game, as they face a team also searching for consistency.

This matchup presents an opportunity for both teams to find their footing and start building momentum for the rest of the season. For MVSU, a win on the road could be the spark they need to turn things around.
