Most Surprising Result: Central Arkansas 34, Nicholls St. 31 - The Bear playoff hopes nearly took a cliff dive thanks to 368 yards and 4 touchdowns passing by Colonel QB Landry Kiann.

You know I watched much of that game and I came away wondering why Klann wasn't the starter for Nicholls State all along. The only reason he was playing is because the starter got hurt the previous week. And to me Klann looked MUCH better than the starter ever did.

Unfortunately for Nicholls's rebuilding plans, Klann is a 6th. year senior.
