The 2012 Nicholls State Colonels football team represented Nicholls State University in the 2012 NCAA Division I FCS football season. The Colonels were led by third year head coach Charlie Stubbs and played their home games at John L. Guidry Stadium. They were a member of the Southland Conference. They finished the season 1–10, 0–7 in Southland play to finish in last place.

Nicholls State football games will be broadcast live on the radio through KLRZ 100.3 FM, KLEB AM 1600, and KBZE 105.9 FM. KLRZ and KLEB will also stream the games online.

The Colonels get a shot at redemption when they play FBS transitioning South Alabama. This will be the second meeting between the 2 schools, the first being in 2010, and South Alabama owns a 1-0 series lead.

The third of 3 FBS opponents features the first ever meeting against the Tulsa Golden Hurricane.

The fourth game of the year opens up the Colonels home stretch. For the second consecutive year Evangel's Crusaders will face off against the Colonels. It's the third meeting between the two, the most recent having opened the 2011 campaign, with Nicholls State owning a 2-0 record.

SLC play opens up as the Colonels visit the Bears. It's the 7th meeting between the two with Central Arkansas holding a 4-2 advantage in the series.

The Colonels try to end a 6 game losing streak with the 2012 match against the Bearkats. Overall the Bearkats hold a 15-11-1 series advantage.

Can the Colonels find success in Texas? A four-game losing streak to the Lumberjacks awaits the Colonels in this 2012 match. The Lumberjacks own a huge 22-6 record against the Colonels and find themselves 11-3 in both locations.

The Colonels found a 2-game winning streak against the Demons snapped in 2011. Now they attempt to win for the third time in four years and cut into the 25-14 advantage the Demons have in head-to-head football matches.

The 37th meeting between the Cowboys and Colonels begins the November schedule. McNeese State owns a 25-11 advantage in the overall series standings and has won the past three meetings. Perhaps an even larger surprise is the Colonels have done better on the road against the Cowboys (7-13) than at home (4-12).
