THIBODAUX, La. -- Chase Fourcade passed for four touchdowns and ran for another to help Nicholls State beat Incarnate Word 48-21 on Saturday.
Fourcade was 15-of-18 passing for 266 yards with one interception and Damion Jeanpiere Jr. had three receptions for 127 yards and a score for Nicholls State (5-3, 4-2 Southland Conference).
