Cowboys Wrap up Their Home Schedule This Weekend

McNeese football will honor their seniors Saturday afternoon as they host the Northwestern State Demons. Kickoff is at 4:07pm and the team will recognize the senior members of the 2019 squad before the game. The Pokes have won two in a row, including a 33-10 victory over SFA last week. The Cowboys are 5-4 overall and 3-3 in the conference. Northwestern State picked up their first win of the season last week, beating Incarnate Word 44-41 in overtime.

The Cowboys lead the series 46-21-1. McNeese has played NSU more than any other school and has won 13 of the last 14 meetings. The Demons have not won in Cowboy Stadium since a 25-20 win in 1988. Northwestern won last year's meeting in double overtime, 37-34 in Natchitoches.

RB Justin Pratt has rushed for over 100 yards in each of the last two games. WR Cyron Sutton has 795 yards on 52 catches and has caught a touchdown pass in seven straight games.
