LCU primed to make Homecoming happy as Nelson visits

Louisiana Christian kicks off a three-game homestand Saturday at 6 at Wildcat Field in Pineville, with every indication that the ‘Cats will send the Homecoming crowd home happy.

LCU (4-3 overall, 3-1 in the Sooner Athletic Conference) hosts a Nelson team (1-4, 0-3) that fell 34-13 last weekend to Oklahoma Panhandle State – the same team the Wildcats routed on the road, 56-27, last month.

Leading the ‘Cats is quarterback Bryce Perkins, who has thrown for 1,623 yards and 13 touchdowns.

His top receivers are Omarius Davis with 29 catches for 453 yards and five touchdowns, and ASH product EJ Scott (23 catches, 367 yards, no TDs so far).

Another ASH product, Datlan Cunningham, is the top rusher for LCU with 606 yards, a 4.4 average per carry, and six TDs.
