Deon Simon THE 2014 DEMONS Lettermen Returning/Lost: Starters Returning/Lost - Offensive Starters Returning/Lost - Defensive Starters Returning/Lost - Special Teams Starters Returning/Lost Offensive Formation Defensive Formation

2014 OUTLOOK

After finishing with a flourish in Jay Thomas’ first season as head coach, the Northwestern State football team heads into 2014 ready to again surpass expectations while climbing up the Southland Conference ranks and back into the national FCS conversation. The Demons, who went 3-1 in November to finish with their best record (6-6) in five seasons, have momentum at a level the program hasn’t carried into a season for about a decade. Looking at the lineup of returning players, there’s plenty of cause for optimism. Among the 57 lettermen returning are eight who were starters in 2014 offensively, six defensive starters and the entire complement of special teams performers, all but one who were rookies in those roles a year ago. Players who scored 30 of Northwestern’s 41 offensive touchdowns last fall are back for more. The veterans include the top three rushers, all the quarterbacks and eight of the top nine receivers. Last year’s Southland Newcomer of the Year, quarterback Zach Adkins, shattered seven single-season school records while distributing the ball to an ensemble cast with explosive threats like tailbacks Daniel Taylor and De’Mard Llorens and receivers Shakeir Ryan, Bryant Mitchell and Ed Eagan, with bullish ballcarrier Garrett Atzenweiler making defensive backs nervous. Up front, center Austin Douglas and tackle Pace Murphy will set the tone. The Purple Swarm defense ranked second in the offensively-charged Southland last season. Big reasons why return up front, with a corps of sack-happy defensive ends and NFL prospect Deon Simon inside up front, and lockdown senior cornerbacks Imoan Claiborne and Fred Thomas heading a talented group of defensive backs. Finally on the field after a year away will be ball-hawking linebacker Marion Chapman, a much-anticipated addition to join playmaking Adam Jones, Zach Adkins 2013 Freshman All-America defensive end JeMarcus Marshall, and veteran linebackers Tyler Roussell and Paxton Cook to make the second level difficult to attain for Demon foes. Eagan, who has two touchdown runbacks to his credit in his first two seasons as a Demon, will be a focal point on every opposing kickoff or punt. With a season’s work under their belts, all the other specialists provide a strong foundation in the kicking game. Chris Moore was 9 of 12 on field goals inside 40 yards, and has a leg which makes him a threat anywhere inside 60 yards, while giving the Demon kickoff team some returns off with touchbacks. No doubt the Demons will have improved kick and punt coverage, denying the explosive runbacks which turned the tables and foiled upset bids against FCS playoff entries Southeastern and Sam Houston State. The Demons face a 2014 schedule which follows an appealing season-opening home matchup

Penalty turnaround a source of pride Since nearly the turn of the century, until last year, the Demons were annually among the Southland’s most penalized teams. Shedding that burden was a primary focus last year for Coach Thomas, whose Nicholls teams were exactly the opposite. It wasn’t by accident. The Demons went from worst to first as the league’s least-penalized team in conference competition during 2013. New coordinators, featuring a couple of Southland stalwarts The Demons have new coordinators on offense, defense and special teams but a pair of coaches who have done it before, very well, in the Southland. Ben Norton, the Demons’ outstanding offensive line coach, moves into the offensive coordinator’s role, a duty he’s done at a championship level in prior stops at McNeese and Texas State. Another Southland-savvy coach, longtime Sam Houston defensive coordinator and former Southeastern head man Mike Lucas, takes over the Purple Swarm defense. August Mangin, a former LSU player and coach, takes charge of the special teams. All three coordinators took over before spring practice after unrelated staff departures.

Shakeir Ryan

Bolstering the back end of the Purple Swarm After graduation, the Demons are replacing four-year lettermen Bert White and Ryan Sorrell at safety. Chase Collins and Darius Poullard got starting experience in 2013 and are the prime candidates to take over the back end of the Purple Swarm defense. Regaining the Road Warrior mentality After an Aug. 28 home opener, Northwestern State plays four consecutive times on the road. The 1988 Southland Champion Demons had a similar challenge in the second half of their season and postseason, and earned the nickname “Road Warriors” as it won four straight league games in strange stadiums, and an FCS playoff visit to Boise State. This group of Demons needs to live up to that billing after going 1-5, and 0-3 in conference games, on the road in 2013. Coach Thomas has revamped road strategies to create positive change.

Paxton Cook

Developing another solid offensive line Ben Norton’s track record, and performance as offensive line coach last year, indicates that replacing three senior starters up front is not as daunting as it might seem. While the Demons lost three OL starters, three also return: C Austin Douglas, OG Terrance Boyd and OT Pace Murphy, who each started 6+ games last year.

The Demons pounded Southwestern Athletic Conference rich traditions. champion Southern and opened the Thomas era with a road win at Missouri Thomas made winning college football’s biggest trophy, 7-foot-6 Chief State, a team that finished third in the rugged Missouri Valley. School passing Caddo, a top priority. The 2013 seniors had not enjoyed the company of the Chief records fell while the Demons restored the luster to their tradition-rich Purple as rival Stephen F. Austin had owned the past four season-ending matchups. It was an emotional Nov. 21 at Turpin Stadium as Northwestern brought Chief Swarm defense, ranking second in total defense in the Southland. Thomas, 53, had been defensive coordinator and assistant head coach in Caddo home, and sent the seniors out as winners. 2012 alongside his close friend Darryl Daye at Division II Missouri Southern in He embraced Demon traditions, notably creating a new one himself with the Legendary Link Awards presented at the Joe Delaney Bowl ending spring practice in 2014. The Legendary Link Awards will go to former players, coaches, staff whose impact on the NSU program has been deep and long-lasting. The first 12 were awarded to some of Delaney’s teammates and coaches during the legend’s college career from 1977-81. He established the Coach’s Cabinet Association, a support group for Demon football that has membership local and long-distance, with frequent evening dinner meetings while developing strategies for further expanding the resources to carry the Northwestern program to greater heights. To nobody’s surprise, Thomas also showed he’s a great team player, leading his staff and players in supporting all of the other sports at Northwestern, in the stands and in bonding together for community service and to show pride in the university. Emphasis on the football team’s academic performance was paramount, and was reflected Thomas with his wife, Jan, and daughters, Hannah and Haley in rising results in NCAA studies and the number

DEMON of players with grade point averages above 3.0. Before arriving at Northwestern in January 2010, Thomas spent 14 seasons at Nicholls State, the last six (2004-2009) as head coach. Despite hurricanes that interrupted preseason or the regular season in three years, he had an overall 27-35 record that included Nicholls’ only Southland Conference championship (2005 co-championship) and wins over four nationally-ranked teams and FBS foe Rice. His Colonels finished the 2005 season ranked 17th in the Sports Network’s FCS Top 25, and reached a school-record high ranking of 13th in 2007. During his tenure as head coach, Thomas instituted academic emphasis which resulted in the Nicholls team’s Academic Progress Rate improving from 746 to 930 over his five seasons. Thomas guided Nicholls to a pair of winning seasons and a .500 record in a third season in a program that had only one season of .500 or better in the previous seven campaigns. His three .500 or better seasons gave Nicholls three of only four at that level in the past 13 years. Nicholls defeated non-conference foes such as Eastern Washington and Florida A&M while posting a 4-2 record against the Demons amid a 17-21 league record under Thomas. He was the 2005 Southland Conference coach of the year and a finalist for the Sports Network’s Eddie Robinson Coach of the Year Award. Among players he recruited and developed at Nicholls is star cornerback and kick returner Lardarius Webb of the Baltimore Ravens and three other NFL Draft picks, Kareem Moore (Washington, 2007), Jacob Bender (New York Jets, 2005) and Chris Thompson (Jacksonville, 2003). He was defensive line coach at Southeast Missouri State from 1993-99 and was a graduate assistant coach under the legendary Pete Jenkins at LSU from 1988-90, part of a staff that guided the Tigers to the 1988 Southeastern Conference championship.

PLAYING HISTORY

1977-78............................... William and Mary

RECRUITING AREA: • Dallas/Ft. Worth area

Mike Lucas and Jay Thomas were coaching adversaries for years in the Southland Conference, but never enemies, and now the mutual admiration society has teamed up to benefit the NSU Demons. Lucas, who has 35 years of collegiate coaching experience including 26 in the Southland, came on board before spring practice as defensive coordinator and linebackers coach. Lucas, the 2009 All-Louisiana Coach of the Year, was head coach at Southeastern from 2007-11 after two seasons as the Lions’ defensive coordinator. He earned a reputation as a dynamic DC under iconic coach Ron Randleman from 1987-2001 at Sam Houston State. Lucas spent last season as the defensive coordinator at Indiana State and earlier in his career coached at his alma mater, Liberty, along with William and Mary, UTEP, and Eastern New Mexico. “We’re very fortunate to get a coach the caliber of Mike Lucas. The things he brings to the table are far-reaching,” said Thomas. “He’s been in the Southland Conference for well over 20 seasons, five as a head coach. He’s recruited where we recruit. He was tough to compete against on the field and on the recruiting trail, and he’s a first-class gentleman who will fit well with our staff and in our community. It’s a blessing for us to get this type of coach and man.” Bringing Lucas in as defensive coordinator and promoting Ben Norton in charge of the offense gives the Demons proven, accomplished veterans who have won championships in the Southland Conference. They coached together at Sam Houston State from 1999-2001. “It’s unique that by adding Mike Lucas and promoting Ben Norton, we’re actually more experienced than we were with our coordinators last season, and both of those guys who moved east were not wet behind the ears by any means, and were very good for us,” said Thomas. Lucas was defensive coordinator at Southeastern for two seasons before moving into the head coaching post on an interim basis for the last three games of 2006, and was head coach from 2007-12, recruiting players who contributed to SLU’s 2013 Southland Conference championship. Under Lucas’ leadership, Southeastern improved its overall record each season from 2006-09 while the Lions, for the first time since their program was restarted in 2003, became highly competitive in the Southland. Southeastern developed a school-record setting offense and a typically tough-to-attack defense guided by Lucas. After missing the final six games of the 2008 season due to a heart valve procedure, Lucas returned to win Louisiana collegiate Coach of the Year honors in 2009. At Sam Houston State as defensive coordinator and assistant head coach under iconic head coach Ron Randleman, Lucas coached the Bearkats among the top 15 in FCS stat categories 11 times, and led the Southland Conference in defense five times. Among

2014 NORTHWESTERN STATE FOOTBALL MEDIA GUIDE

school records set under Lucas: 52 sacks in 2001, fewest points per game (13.2) in 1991. His SHSU defenses produced 65 All-Southland Conference honors by 41 different players, among them seven who signed NFL contracts and two who were NFL Draft picks. He was defensive coordinator at Eastern New Mexico where his unit led the Lone Star Conference in total defense and scoring defense, and ranked third nationally in punt returns. In 1984 he was wide receivers coach at UTEP. From 1980-83, he coached the secondary, defensive line and linebackers, and assisted with strength and conditioning, at Liberty. He began coaching as a defensive student assistant in 1979 at William and Mary. Playing Experience: A two-year letterman at William and Mary, Lucas was a three-year letterman in football at Pemberton (N.J.) High School, where he also lettered in baseball and wrestling. Personal: Age 55, born March 7, 1959. He and his wife Wendy have two adult sons, Tyler, a former quarterback and 2009 graduate of Cornell, and Torin, a former catcher on the Southeastern Louisiana baseball team. He earned a bachelor of science degree in physical education and psychology from Liberty University in Lynchburg, Va., in 1982.

Ben Norton’s track record bodes very well for the Northwestern State football program, especially now with him filling the offensive coordinator’s role along with coaching the Demons’ offensive line as he did in his first year at NSU last season. Norton, who has seven years of experience as a coordinator in a 20-year coaching career marked by championship success at three other Southland institutions, will continue to work with the offensive line while taking over game-planning and play-calling. Norton helped Sam Houston State, McNeese and Texas State capture Southland Conference championships and make FCS playoff appearances while on staff, serving as co-offensive coordinator at McNeese in 2005-06 and at Texas State from 2007-10. Before arriving at Northwestern, Norton developed eight All-America offensive linemen and 27 allconference players, while winning six championships with seven teams that finished in the FCS Top 25 and reached postseason play. His impact was immediate last season with the Demons. The offensive line’s performance helped the Demons reverse a decade-long penalty plague as NSU finished first in the conference in fewest flags drawn in Southland play. NSU’s offense set seven single-season passing records by quarterback Zach Adkins. Senior Warren Jones won All-Southland second-team honors while making the move from center to guard in midseason, allowing Ole Miss transfer Aaron Douglas to take over the pivot position, his best fit. Norton helped senior tackle Tchissakid “T-dre” Player develop into a prospect who played in the FCS Senior Scout Bowl all-star game, then was the 12th player chosen in the Canadian Football League draft. Player became an immediate starter for the British Columbia Lions. The progress of young offensive linemen, along with newcomer Douglas who joined the team in early August, was apparent under Norton’s stewardship. Norton also had significant involvement in the game planning and game management of the Demon offense, collaborating with 2013 OC Robbie Brown, now at South Alabama, and receivers coach Kyle Manley, who has taken over the role of quarterbacks coach for 2014. “Having those guys helping run our offense last year gives everybody involved great confidence,” said Thomas. “Moving Kyle to coach quarterbacks, a position he played at Georgia Tech, was an obvious decision. Coach Norton has been in the coordinator’s position before and was very successful in that capacity. Ben had a big impact on our success last season and after years competing against him, it was great having him on my side.” Norton, who spent 1994-97 at Vanderbilt and LSU in the Southeastern Conference as a graduate assistant coach, got his first fulltime post at Eastern Illinois under venerable coach Bob Spoo in 1997-98, helping the Panthers crack the FCS Top 25 and assisting in the signing of future Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo, a three-time Pro Bowl pick. Norton worked under legendary Ron Randleman from 1999-2004 at Sam Houston, helping the Bearkats reach the 2001 playoff quarterfinals and the 2004 semifinals as assistant head coach and offensive line coach. He was co-offensive coordinator and o-line coach in 2005-06 at McNeese as the Cowboys won the 2006 Southland title and reached the playoffs. Regaining the assistant head coach title to go with co-offensive coordinator and line coach from 2007-10 at Texas State, he helped the Bobcats to the 2008 FCS playoffs with a Southland crown, FCS Top 25 rankings in 2008 and 2009, and top 20 finishes in total offense from 2007-09, when Texas State averaged 420-yards plus each season. In his four seasons there, the Bobcats averaged 30 points, 408 yards, 165 yards rushing (4.5 per rush) and allowed only 1.5 sacks per game.

RECRUITING AREA: • Houston Area • Southeast Texas He coached 18 All-Southland Conference offensive players, five AllSouthland offensive linemen, five All-Americans including two offensive linemen, and eight Southland Offensive Players of the Week at Texas State. He had 14 All-Southland offensive linemen at Sam Houston and two more at McNeese. He coached three All-Americans up front at Sam Houston. At EIU, he coached five All-Ohio Valley Conference offensive linemen, including an All-American. In his two UFL seasons, he had four linemen sign NFL contracts, including Tony Ugoh, who won a Super Bowl ring with the New York Giants. Norton joined the United Football League’s Las Vegas Locos for the 2011 season and helped them to the championship game. He was an American Guest Coach with the Canadian Football League’s Saskatchewan Roughriders training camp in 2012, working with the offensive line, running backs and special teams, before coaching with the UFL’s Sacramento Mountain Lions in 2012. Playing Experience: A four-year letterwinner at SFA, Norton earned Academic All-Southland Conference honors as an offensive lineman as a senior in 1992.

Derrick Foster made the Demon running backs extremely productive in 2013, and now has shifted back to coaching the position that he played in a record-shattering fashion, wide receiver. The personable Foster tutored an ensemble group of NSU ballcarriers last season and got production deep through the rotation. Six different running backs scored touchdowns – four had three or more – while the five busiest averaged at least 4.3 yards per carry. All six caught passes, with returners De’Mard Llorens (14), Garrett Atzenweiler (13) and Daniel Taylor (12) combining for 39 grabs. The young coach helped Llorens progress from a player who was not included on the 110-man roster in 2012, his true freshman year, to a rookie who scored five times and posted 501 yards rushing and receiving in his first college campaign. Foster arrived at NSU last January from Derek Dooley’s 2012 coaching staff with the Tennessee Volunteers. Foster coached receivers and helped with special teams at Valdosta State in 2011. Foster joined Dooley’s staff for the 2012 season, assisting the offensive coordinator and helping coach running backs. The Volunteers finished third in the Southeastern Conference in total offense with 5,711 yards. He had office recruiting duties for junior colleges in California, Texas, Kansas, New York, Arizona and Illinois. His coaching career began at Valdosta in 2011 where he assisted head coach David Dean, offensive coordinator Robby Brown and the special teams coordinator, working with the punt team, and the return teams. He worked with wide receivers and helped produce an All-Gulf South Conference selection (32 catches, 551 yards, 6 TDs). Ten wide receivers had at least one catch. His recruiting areas included Arkansas, Alabama, Georgia, Florida and Tennessee. “Derrick Foster is very knowledgeable about this game. He’s a very talented guy who gets a lot done in a little time,” said Demons head coach Jay Thomas. “Derrick helped us progress really quickly in the system so that we got a lot accomplished last year. He has had a lot of success and fun doing a lot of what we want to do here. “Derrick is a good country guy, and a hard-working young coach. Steve Ellis, who I coached with at Nicholls and now is the defensive coordinator at Middle Tennessee, thinks the world of him. Derrick loves football, and is an office rat, just can’t get enough of it. That’s what it takes to be successful in this business,” said Thomas. Playing Experience: Foster was a three-year starting receiver at Southwest Baptist, including a record-shattering 2007 campaign. Foster played in 41 of 44 games, and had 93 career receptions. In 2007 he ranked sixth in the conference with 44 catches. He was a 1,000-yard rusher at Goshen High and an All-County running back. Personal: Age 28, born March 6, 1986 in Goshen, Alabama.

RECRUITING AREA: • Central Louisiana

Jake Landoll’s first year as a Division I position coach was impressive in 2013, as he built a defensive front that was key in the NSU Purple Swarm ranking second in the Southland Conference in total defense. While helping senior tackle Lesley Deamer win All-Southland Conference honors and reach the New Orleans Saints camp as a free agent, Landoll developed a group of hard-charging ends and run-stopping tackles. Junior Deon Simon had a breakout year, making eye-popping plays inside that have him very much on the NFL radar for the 2014 season. JeMarcus Marshall won first-team Freshman All-America recognition after notching 8.5 sacks while in a rotation with several other talented defensive ends. Landoll has spent the last three seasons honing his craft under coach Jay Thomas, beginning in 2011 at Northwestern State and in 2012 at Division II Missouri Southern. He was a graduate assistant working with Thomas on the defensive line with the Demons, then moved into a fulltime role as Thomas was defensive coordinator in 2012 at Missouri Southern. Landoll was defensive line coach and academic coordinator as Missouri Southern won six games for only the second time in 20 seasons. He coached Senior Bowl selection Brandon Williams, an All-American who was chosen national defensive player of the year by Beyond Sports Network and selected in the third round in the NFL draft by the Baltimore Ravens. Missouri Southern had a top 10 NCAA Division II ranking in rushing defense. The Lions raised their team grade point average to 2.8 in 2012 as Landoll implemented the “Fast Start” study hall program. “He ran our academic program there and his effort helped raise the team GPA by a bunch. He’s a very smart, very talented young man, very driven to be successful, a detail guy. You surround yourself with good folks and he fits that description,” said Thomas. “I didn’t know Jake until he arrived as a graduate assistant in 2011 here, and after working with him that fall, I brought him with me to Missouri Southern to be on my defensive staff. I’ve had him underneath my wing for three years, and I’ve steadily given him more and more responsibility and never been disappointed,” said Thomas. Landoll, a native Kansan who began coaching after graduating in 2006 from Saint Mary, has coached defensive linemen in all but one season at Saint Mary, Bethel College, NSU and Missouri Southern. The 2007 Saint Mary Spires ranked 14th in the nation in total defense and Landoll coached a lineman for the Bethel College Thrashers who ranked seventh in the NAIA in tackles for loss, and 27th in sacks. He also worked with the San Diego Bowl Games Association (Holiday Bowl and Poinsetta Bowl), the Kansas City Royals (Major League Baseball) and the Kansas City Brigade (Arena Football League). Playing Experience: A three-year starter on the defensive line for the University of Saint Mary (Kansas) from 2002-06, Landoll was firstteam all-conference as a junior and senior. He was a two-year all-region pick, making firstteam as a senior, when he won All-America honors. As a junior, he was part of a defense that posted three shutouts and finished with Top 10 NAIA stat rankings in eight categories. He started in the NAIA Senior Bowl and had four tackles, 2.5 for loss, made a sack and forced three fumbles. He later became the only person to play in, and coach in, the NAIA Senior Bowl. Personal: Age 31, born Aug. 8, 1983 in Wichita, Kansas. He and wife Bekkah have a 4-year-old son, Grayson. Coach Landoll graduated from Saint Mary in accounting, business administration with a concentration in marketing. The son of David and Linda Landoll, he has three sisters, a brother-in-law, three nephews and a niece. His father is a corporate pilot and his mother is a social worker.

August Mangin returned to Northwestern State this spring as special teams coordinator, bringing an energetic and cerebral approach that has been developed while working with some of the more innovative and sound special teams coaches in college football. For the past two years he worked alongside New York Jets special teams coordinator Thomas McGaughey while they were on Les Miles’ staff at LSU. McGaughey came to LSU with seven years of NFL experience, including a Super Bowl championship in 2007 with the New York Giants. Mangin played at LSU under Bradley Dale Peveto, whose creativity with special teams at LSU was also a trademark of his four seasons as the Demons’ head coach (2009-12). Peveto has just returned to LSU as special teams coordinator. Mangin was on the Demons’ staff working with Peveto for the 2011 season, coaching tight ends and special teams, and for the past two years worked with special teams and the offensive coaching staff at LSU as the Tigers reached two bowl games, winning the 2014 Outback Bowl and falling in the 2013 Chick-Fil-A Bowl. “August is a young guy who makes an impression on you. When I was here as an assistant and he was a graduate assistant, you knew he had something special about him,” said Demons’ head coach Jay Thomas. “He went back to LSU and really progressed as a coach. Coach Miles didn’t want to lose him, and they made a great effort to keep him in Baton Rouge, but the opportunity we have here was fortunately good enough for him to come back on board with the Demons. “He’s going to develop into a rising star in our business and has worked with some tremendous special teams coaches who can give him advice. You have to have people like that to call upon,” said Thomas. “In a lot of the games we lost last season, we had critical errors in the kicking game, and some of that we can hopefully address schematically. August fits well into our staff, and will be impressive and comfortable in our community.” Playing Experience: Mangin played at LSU from 2005-09 primarily on special teams, helping the Tigers win the 2007 BCS National Championship under head coach Les Miles. He was a fullback and earned two letters after walking on at LSU. Personal: Age 27, born Jan. 6 1987 in Baton Rouge. Son of Joseph Mangin and Janet Elizabeth Suggs.

He’s been around really, really good football coaches. Chan Gailey at Georgia Tech, Jason Simpson at UT-Martin, Coach Dooley at Louisiana Tech and Tennessee, to name just three, and he’s picked up more than his share of coaching expertise from every opportunity.” At Louisiana Tech, he helped coach quarterbacks and receivers in 2009 and was a strength and conditioning intern in 2008 as the Bulldogs notched an Independence Bowl victory under Dooley.

Will Weaver has already proven he’s a versatile coach at the age of 30, and in his first season at Northwestern State, his expertise on the field and in recruiting was very impressive to head coach Jay Thomas and his fellow coaches. Weaver has moved to coach the running backs in 2014 after overseeing the tight ends last season as the NSU offense shattered passing records with Southland Conference Newcomer of the Year Zach Adkins at quarterback. Weaver’s troops were powerful blockers and reliable receivers who also played a role in the Demons being the least penalized team in Southland Conference competition in 2013. He joined the Demons after serving on staffs at Southern Mississippi, Alabama-Birmingham and Valdosta State. Weaver has worked on both sides of the ball and on special teams already in his coaching career, and was part of a staff that helped his alma mater, Valdosta State, win the 2007 Division II national championship. In 2012 under Ellis Johnson at USM, Weaver was a defensive graduate assistant working with the secondary, focusing on the safeties. He also assisted in all special teams game planning. In 2011 at UAB, he was an offensive GA working with tight ends and assisted with special teams game planning, coaching punt team, punt block and kickoff return. A year earlier with the Blazers, Weaver worked on the defensive side, helping coach the safeties. He began working with the punt and punt block teams. He was on the Valdosta State staff in 2007-09, beginning his career working with the linebackers in the national championship season. He worked with punt, kickoff and kickoff return teams.

Now in its sixth decade of service, the Southland Conference continues to be a model of innovation, stability and consistent achievement as it celebrates the academic and athletic accomplishments of its member institutions. Having commemorated its 50th anniversary in 2013, the Southland Conference has transformed itself into a dynamic and respected consortium of 13 member universities in three states. Beginning with a historic meeting of five institutions in Dallas on March 15, 1963, the Southland Conference set on an extraordinary course that has proven successful well into its five decades of existence. The successful transformation continues, as the Southland Conference welcomed four additional members in 2013: Abilene Christian University, Houston Baptist University, the University of Incarnate Word in San Antonio, and the University of New Orleans. In addition to its newest members, the Southland also consists of the University of Central Arkansas, Lamar University, McNeese State University, Nicholls State University, Northwestern State University, Sam Houston State University, Southeastern Louisiana University, Stephen F. Austin State University and Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi. All told, the membership of the Southland encompasses nearly 140,000 current students and an alumni base of nearly 800,000. Famous alums from current Southland Conference schools include former CBS news anchor Dan Rather (Sam Houston State), NBA executive Joe Dumars (McNeese State), ABC news anchor Robin Roberts (Southeastern Louisiana), Major League Baseball star Wade Miley (Southeastern Louisiana), NBA legend Scottie Pippen (Central Arkansas), and track and field Olympians Kenta Bell (Northwestern State), and Bobby Morrow and Billy Olson (both Abilene Christian). The Southland sponsors 17 championship sports, all at the NCAA Division I level. The eight men’s sports include baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, tennis, and indoor and outdoor track and field. The women compete for nine championships in basketball, cross country, golf, soccer, softball, tennis, indoor and outdoor track and field, and volleyball.

Continuing its tradition of innovation, the league launched the Southland Conference Television Network in the fall of 2008 and has broadcast more than 160 events. The network has expanded its reach to roughly 13 million households throughout Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas and Oklahoma in recent years, and has also gained national viewership through ESPN3 and Fox College Sports. In its first six years, the network has received recognition for its work, earning numerous College Sports Media and Telly Awards.

COMEBACK, TWO FOURTH-QUARTER STOPS GIVE DEMONS OPENING VICTORY SPRINGFIELD, Mo. – New Northwestern State quarterback Zach Adkins ran for the tying touchdown and threw for the go-ahead score, after redshirt freshman Adam Jones’ fumble recovery deep in Missouri State territory triggered a two-touchdown burst midway through the second half that helped the Demons post a season-opening 23-17 road win Thursday night, Aug. 29. Jones’ strip and recovery at the Bears’ 13 led to Adkins’ 4-yard keeper on third down, helping forge a 17-all tie with 2:28 showing in the third quarter and erasing Missouri State’s only lead. The Demons moved ahead on their next series when Adkins found a wide-open Shakeir Ryan down the left side of the field and the true freshman flanker outran defenders down the Bears’ sideline to complete a 51-yard strike that made the difference, with 14:36 left to play. NSU’s defense made two big stops in the final quarter. The Bears had to settle for a 44-yard field goal try, which failed with 11:35 remaining, and then lost it on downs at the NSU 20 with 3:27 to go. The Demons got one first down, punted with 25 seconds left and the losers didn’t threaten to score in the waning seconds. The win snapped NSU’s 17-game non-conference road losing streak. Adkins used 10 different receivers as he threw for 233 yards on 24-37 aim, despite two interceptions, at the Missouri State 8 in the first half and in the Bears’ end zone in the fourth quarter. Working against a Missouri State defense that returned 10 starters, the Demons kept the Bears on their heels with the rapid- fire, no-huddle offense throughout the first half, but only a 44yard Chris Moore field goal as the clock expired provided a 10-7 edge for the visitors. NSU crossed midfield on six of seven possessions, but came up empty on four trips past the 50. Missouri State didn’t make a first down until after the visitors took a 7-0 lead on Daniel Taylor’s 30-yard run on a delay over right tackle 40 seconds into the second quarter.

DOMINATING HOME DEBUT AS ADKINS, DEFENSE SPARKLE AGAINST SOUTHERN NATCHITOCHES – Northwestern State’s home debut under new head coach Jay Thomas was a smashing success, with quarterback Zach Adkins throwing for 331 yards and three scores as the Demons dominated in-state rival Southern 55-14 in front of the sixth-largest crowd, 14,873, in the 36-year history of Turpin Stadium. NSU scored on eight of its first 10 series, roaring to a 31-0 lead before halftime, and backups played the entire fourth quarter for the Demons. Fourteen offensive linemen and 12 defensive linemen got into the game for NSU. Senior feature back Rob Walker ran for touchdowns of 26 and 2 yards. Adkins’ passing yardage was the 10th-best single-season total in school history and helped the Demons come within six yards of the team single-game record of 368 set in 2008 at Stephen F. Austin. The junior college transfer went 22 for 34 without an interception in his second game and start for NSU. NSU (2-0) outgained Southern 554-248 and piled up 30 first downs to 16 for the Jaguars (0-2). Adkins tossed three touchdowns in a 15-minute span: a 6-yarder to Daniel Taylor with 5:05 to go in the opening period for a 10-0 lead, then an 8-yarder snagged on a nifty leaping grab by Ed Eagan, 11:03 before halftime, and a 31-yard connection on a crossing pattern to Louis Hollier, who picked up a nice block around the 15 and outran defenders to the corner of the end zone with 5:01 left before the bands performed. Chris Moore’s 21-yard field goal started the onslaught, ending a 61-yard, 11-snap series on NSU’s opening possession. Five of Southern’s six first-half possessions went 3-and-out.

DEMONS OVERWHELMED BY BEARCATS, 66-9 CINCINNATI – There was no post-Legaux letdown for Cincinnati as the Bearcats steamrolled Northwestern State 66-9 and showed they could put up big numbers without injured starting quarterback Munchie Legaux. Cincinnati, aiming for its fifth straight bowl appearance, averaged almost 10 yards per play, massing 669 yards on 67 snaps. Senior Brendon Kay engineered a dominant offensive output, firing four touchdown passes before his backup replaced him early in the third quarter, while the Bearcats smothered a Demons’ offense that had piled up 55 first downs in its first two games. NSU (2-1) notched only 12, just two in the second half as Cincinnati (2-1) outscored the visitors 24-0. “They were very good, especially up front on both sides of the ball,” said first-year Demons’ head coach Jay Thomas. “We didn’t have the same level of sharpness that we had in the first two weeks but you have to credit Cincinnati for that.” The Bearcats overwhelmed the Demons almost from the outset, using big plays as the cornerstones for five first-half scoring drives, none requiring longer than 3:07. Cincinnati ballcarriers broke numerous tackles while piling up 397 yards at halftime, while NSU could produce only 129. The half ended in encouraging fashion for the visitors when transfer kicker Chris Moore hammered a 47-yard field goal with just under a second to go. The Demons covered 45 yards in eight plays against the clock to earn the opportunity. It was the second straight scoring series for NSU. The Demons went 75 yards in five snaps to get on the board 2:44 before halftime on a 6-yard run by true freshman De’Mard Llorens. A twopoint conversion try out of the swinging gate formation failed. The Bearcats answered in just over a minute, on Kay’s third TD pass of the half, a 15- yarder to Anthony McClung, to make it 35-6. Kay called it a night early in the third quarter after flinging his fourth scoring strike, a 41-yarder, for a commanding 42-9 lead. With both teams playing reserves throughout the fourth quarter, Cincinnati added three more TDs and 178 yards while the Demons tacked on just 10 offensive yards. Seven Bearcats posted at least one play gaining 25 yards or longer in the rout. NSU (2-1) Cincinnati (2-1) 1 2 3 4

EARLY MISCUES DOOM DEMONS DESPITE BRIGHT SPOTS AT UAB BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Nothing special would have been just fine with Northwestern State football coach Jay Thomas, who watched two early breakdowns in the kicking game put the Demons in a two-touchdown hole that defined a 52-28 loss at UAB. A rain-slicked football sailed past NSU punter Chase Tassin and squirted back to the 8 on the game’s seventh play, and the Blazers converted a fourth-and-goal 1-yard TD pass. After an ensuing Demons’ 3-andout, UAB’s dynamic returner Jemarcus Nelson, third nationally in allpurpose yards, twisted and darted through a pack of defenders then outraced the rest down the NSU sideline on a 63-yard punt runback for a 14-0 advantage 4:52 into the game. But the Demons (2-2) were much better than last week’s 66-9 victims to powerful Cincinnati. They twice pushed back within 10 points, the last time at 31-21 just 68 seconds into the third quarter, and gained a respectable 344 yards, including 100 on 15 carries, with touchdowns of 1 and 3 yards, from Garrett Atzenweiler. Northwestern got its first break when Fred Thomas made a diving interception at UAB’s 36 midway through the opening quarter. The Demons used seven snaps to get on the board when Atzenweiler took a direct snap from the wildcat formation and powered across from the 1. UAB posted the next 10 points to build a 24-7 lead, but a 30-yard Daniel Taylor run set up Atzenweiler’s 3-yard TD, and NSU forced a quick 3-and-out late in the first half down 24-14. But the visitors couldn’t duplicate their 4-play, 50-yard drive a series earlier, and UAB did, rolling 69 yards on four snaps, the last 8 on Reaves’ first score for a 31-14 halftime advantage. Louis Hollier snagged two Zach Adkins passes on the first four plays of the third period, taking the second 34 yards for a touchdown to draw the Demons within 10. But UAB took command with two long scores, a 41-yard Nelson catch and Reaves’ 50-yard run, within 66 seconds sandwiched around a 3-and-out and a shanked punt by Northwestern. Atzenweiler ripped off a 40-yard scamper on the next series, a 75-yard, six-snap possession capped by a Taylor 6-yard score to blunt a blowout and draw NSU within 45-28 with 5:33 left in the third quarter. But after that torrent of four TDs in 10 minutes, it was another 15 before the Blazers put it away with their final score. The contest marked the first time since 1991 the Demons had played their first four games in four different states.

PURPLE SWARM DEFENSE PITCHES A SHUTOUT AS DEMONS DOMINATE, 37-0 NATCHITOCHES – Northwestern State got three touchdown passes from Zach Adkins, a 50-yard punt return score by Ed Eagan, and a shutout from the Purple Swarm defense in a 37-0 non-conference whipping of Langston in front of 9,338 at Turpin Stadium. The Demons (3-2) surrendered only 122 yards while posting 452 themselves against the Lions (0-4), an NAIA program bidding to move into NSU’s NCAA Division I FCS level. It was the 19th straight victory over a nonDivision I foe, dating back to 1994, by Northwestern, which moved to 32-1 against lower-division opponents since Turpin Stadium opened in 1977. It was the first homefield shutout for Northwestern since a 63-0 shelling of Oklahoma Panhandle in 2003, and the first time since a 2011 34-0 win at Nicholls State that the Demons held a foe scoreless. Adkins tossed TD passes of 4, 62 and 14 yards while completing 23 of 34, with one interception, for 273 yards. Eight ballcarriers combined for 163 yards. Redshirt freshman De’Mard Llorens scored twice, on a 9 yard run and the 14-yard pass from Adkins, within a four-minute span late in the third quarter. NSU put 16 points on the board in less than five minutes in the third period to stretch the spread to 37-0. Chris Moore started the spurt with a 22-yard field goal, then Llorens darted 9 yards two snaps after a Fred Thomas interception and 18-yard return to the Lions’ 26 for the second Demon scoring in 42 seconds. The 14-yard Adkins-to-Llorens pass capped a 51-yard drive 2:41 before the quarter ended. The Demons dominated the first half but their 21-0 lead didn’t reflect the 251-63 yardage advantage. Those stats didn’t include Eagan’s 50-yard punt return touchdown, the first punt runback for a score by the Demons since 2004. The margin could have been bigger but Moore missed three field goals (23, 52 and 50 yards. Adkins had a pair of touchdown strikes, the first on NSU’s third series of the game, a 4- yarder to Louis Hollier a couple of snaps after they combined on a pretty 26-yarder to highlight an 11-play, 80-yard drive. Then late in the half, with Langston bringing everybody on a blitz, Adkins zipped a throw down the middle to true freshman Shakeir Ryan who ran alone to finish a 62-yard score for the 21-0 lead. The Demons’ defensive masterpiece included five sacks, two by redshirt freshman defensive end JeMarcus Marshall. Senior linebacker Pat Black topped the Purple Swarm defense with eight tackles while 26 Demons had at least one tackle – including two seniors who began their college careers as true freshman starters at Langston in 2010, defensive tackle Shane Abdullah and linebacker Jordan Sennett.

THIRD DOWN STRUGGLES DO IN DEMONS AT NICHOLLS, 33-21 THIBODAUX – The Northwestern State Demons were bedeviled on third down as the Nicholls Colonels roared to a big halftime lead and held off the visitors 33-21 in the Southland Conference football opener for both teams. Nicholls (4-2) won its third straight, and snapped a two-game skid in the series with Northwestern (3-3), by dominating play on third down. Offensively, the Colonels’ overall 65 percent (13-20) rate included converting 7 of their first 8 third downs while going up 27-0, and 11 of 15 as the lead moved to 33-7 late in the third quarter. Meanwhile, the Demons, who were getting 39 percent of their third downs offensively entering the day, went three-and-out on four of their first five possessions as Nicholls took command. The Demons’ opening drive foreshadowed Northwestern’s frustrating afternoon. After Nicholls opened with a 13-play, 75-yard march for its first touchdown, the visitors were on the way to responding when Rob Walker picked up a third-and-2 as he sliced 10 yards to the Colonels 35, but lost the ball at the end of the run. That was it for the Demons’ offense for quite a while. After picking up 42 yards on its first eight snaps, Northwestern got only nine more on the next 12 plays while punting four times. Before NSU opened the second half with Daniel Taylor’s 57-yard explosion down near the Nicholls goalline, and Garrett Atzenweiler bolted across from three yards away on the next snap, the Demons looked like federal government employees have lately. That flurry to within 27-7 was more frustrating as Nicholls fumbled on each of its next two series, only to recover both, while producing clock-draining drives of 12 and nine plays that ended with a missed field goal and the career-best third TD of the game by fullback Marcus Washington (touchdown runs from 2, 1 and 4 yards). Down 33-7, the Demons found mild success in the fourth quarter. Leroy Armstrong’s fumble recovery on the opening play at the Colonels’ 15 led to Taylor’s 10-yard scoring scamper on second down. Northwestern salvaged a glimmer of hope with its only successful sustained series, a 10-snap, 80-yarder over 2:32 capped by Zach Adkins’ 1-yard sneak with 4:18 remaining to draw within 12 points.

THIRD QUARTER FLURRY FUELS SOUTHEASTERN LA. RALLY OVER NSU NATCHITOCHES – Triggered by a 92-yard kickoff return touchdown by Xavier Roberson, who entered the game with the nation’s best kickoff return average, Southeastern La. roared from behind by scoring 16 points in just over three minutes midway through the third quarter and posted a 37-22 Southland Conference football road win at Northwestern State. The Lions (5-2 overall, 2-0 in the Southland) notched a safety two plays after Roberson’s return, then drove 51 yards for the go-ahead score after the free kick, getting a 4-yard run by Kody Sutton to move ahead 23-16 with 5:33 left in the third period. The Demons (3-4, 0-2) answered right away, driving 90 yards, getting the last 43 on a Zack Adkins touchdown strike to Bryant Mitchell, but Chris Moore’s extra point kick was narrowly wide right. The redshirt freshman kicker missed first-half field goal tries from 45 and 44 yards wide left. SLU drove 62 yards after the NSU kickoff, going up 30-22 with 14:38 left to play on a 2-yard sneak by quarterback Bryan Bennett. The Lions padded their lead with 3:35 remaining on Rasheed Harrell’s 1-yard run ending a 36-yard march started after Denzel Thompson intercepted a fourthdown Adkins pass and returned it nine yards as the Demons gambled with the clock winding down. NSU’s Ed Eagan, who had a stellar night receiving with 145 yards on seven catches including a 32-yard touchdown, couldn’t handle the ensuing Lions’ kickoff, a knuckleballing bouncer that skipped through Eagan’s hands, between his legs and out of bounds at the NSU 1. On the next play, Adkins fielded a low snap and was tackled in the end zone by SLU’s Kevin Harmon for a safety providing a stunning 16-all stalemate. After the Demons kicked short and away from Roberson on the free kick, the Lions got a pair of Bennett passes for a combined 30 yards as they moved ahead to stay on Sutton’s scoring run. After largely being held in check, the Lions scored touchdowns on four of five possessions, starting with Roberson’s kickoff runback, and drove 48 yards on 10 plays to the NSU 18 before losing a fumble forced by Cordarius Golston that was recovered by JeMarcus Marshall with 7:20 remaining. The Demons moved 20 yards to a fourth-and-3, and after initially sending out the punt team, tried an Adkins pass to Eagan crossing the middle that Thompson jumped, knifing in front to pick it off. NSU finished with a 490-387 yardage advantage and rolled up 27 first downs. Adkins completed 12 of his first 16 throws and finished 21 of 32 with the fourth-quarter interception, tossing for 280 yards. Eagan’s yardage total was 16 yards short of cracking the single-game school top 10.

KICKING GAME MISCUES SEND DEMONS DOWNHILL IN LOSS TO NO. 7 BEARKATS HUNTSVILLE, Texas – Northwestern State seemed on course to threaten No. 7-ranked Sam Houston State’s FCS-best 19-game homefield winning streak, until the Bearkats exploited the Demons’ Achilles heel. For the second straight week, a long kickoff return turned the tide against NSU, coupled with missed field goals, this time a pair that were partially blocked. Those plays were the biggest reasons Sam Houston (6-2 overall, 2-1 in the Southland Conference) opened a 17-3 halftime lead on the way to a 44-10 whipping of the visiting Demons (3-5, 0-3). Senior quarterback Brian Bell threw three touchdown passes (17, 44 and 9 yards) and ran for an 18-yard score as Sam Houston rebounded from a loss at McNeese last week. The Bearkats had a pair of three-and-outs and a fourth-down failure in their opening possessions against NSU, but scored on their next seven chances with a 93-yard kickoff runback by Keshawn Hill as the springboard. Hill didn’t score, but All-America running back Timothy Flanders did on the next play from seven yards out for a 10-3 lead 6:58 before halftime. The Demons drove to no avail on their next two series. Sam Houston defenders deflected field goal s of 37 and 41 yards, and in between, the Bearkats got Bell’s first TD pass to cap an 80yard drive for a 17-3 advantage. Despite rolling up 255 yards in the first two quarters, Northwestern trailed by 14 points at halftime, and Bell’s 44-yard TD pass to Torrance Williams down the NSU sideline on the third play of the second half made it 24-3. The outcome was salted away midway through the third quarter with a 99-yard, 10-play drive as the Bearkats made it 31-3 on Bell’s third touchdown pass, to Chance Nelson. Sam Houston took command in the third period as it outgained the visitors 199-95 and scored three TDs. The Bearkats had no turnovers (they have only nine in eight games) and were only penalized twice. NSU drew a season-low four flags and lost a fumble.

DEMONS UPSET RANKED UCA, 31-28 NATCHITOCHES – Quarterback Zach Adkins threw touchdown passes of 25, 33 and 38 yards, and ran six yards for a crucial fourth-quarter score that made the difference as Northwestern State upset No. 15/18 Central Arkansas 31-28 on ESPN3 in Turpin Stadium. Fred Thomas made an end zone interception in the third quarter to deny UCA a scoring chance, a pivotal play in a landmark win for first-year Demon coach Jay Thomas and his team. It was the first time the Demons beat a ranked FCS opponent in nine tries, dating back to a 24-19 win at UCA in 2010. The Demons snapped a three-game skid, improving to 4-5 (1-3 in the Southland). UCA, ranked 15th in the FCS coaches’ poll and 18th in the Sports Network Top 25, dipped to 5-4 overall, 2-2 in conference. Adkins’ 6-yd TD with 8:05 left came on third-and-goal on a quarterback draw, as he cut through a hole on the left side and darted across the goalline virtually untouched. That boosted NSU ahead 31-20. The Bears closed within three points with 1:25 to go when Ryan Howard completed a 2-yard fade route to Courtney Whitehead and threw a two-point conversion pass to Thomas Hart. But redshirt freshman receiver Tuff McClain, who caught his first career TD pass in the second quarter, recovered UCA’s onside kick attempt allowing NSU to run out the clock. Adkins completed 18 of 26 passes for 226 yards and led the Demons with 16 rushing attempts, a career high, for a net of 48 yards including four sacks. He gained 77 yards rushing but was thrown for 29 negative yards. UCA led briefly twice, but each time NSU answered on the next series and regained the lead. The Bears moved ahead 17-14 on their opening possession of the third quarter on the second Willie Matthews’ 11-yard TD run of the game, but the Demons took the lead for good less than two minutes later on Adkins’ 38-yard pass to Daniel Taylor, making it 21-17. UCA was poised to score to close the gap or take the lead when Thomas made his interception on third-and-goal at the 9. He brought the ball back into the field of play, then lateralled to Ryan Sorrell, who dashed 60 yards into UCA territory. The play led to a 41-yard Chris Moore field goal that padded the margin to 24-17. Eddie Camara’s 25-yard field goal trimmed the lead to 24-20 with 12:18 left to play. The Demons’ Purple Swarm defense halted an 87-yard UCA drive at the 8, with tackles Deon Simon and Lesley Deamer making key tackles to stymie the Bears. Ed Eagan started NSU on the way to the clinching TD with a 43-yard runback of the ensuing kickoff across midfield to the UCA 46. Adkins converted a third-and-3 with a 13-yard pass to De’Mard Llorens to the UCA 26, and senior receiver Louis Hollier took a swing pass and faked out two Bears on an 18- yard gain to the visitors 7. Adkins scored three snaps later. Adkins staked the Demons to a 14-10 halftime lead with touchdown throws of 25 yards to true freshman Shakeir Ryan and 33 yards to McClain. The second one pushed NSU ahead 14-3 midway through the second quarter, but UCA responded with a 10-play, 86-yard drive capped by Willie Matthews’ 11-yard bolt up the middle. Until that drive, the NSU defense had played outstanding, quieting an offense that ran up 66 points and 681 yards a week earlier. Three sacks, two by Simon, had UCA at negative 22 yards rushing before the Bears roared back, blasting away up the middle for 63 yards on the ground in that possession. UCA finished with 30 first downs and 438 total yards, 297 passing as Howard went 26 of 43 for 276 yards. Matthews ran for 109 yards on eight carries. Northwestern got a game-high 11 tackles from senior linebacker Pat Black and 10 by redshirt freshman safety Darius Poullard. Simon had seven tackles, a career high for the junior.

DEFENSE DOMINATES, OFFENSE PRODUCES AS NSU DUMPS LAMAR 37-28 NATCHITOCHES – From start to finish, Northwestern State’s Purple Swarm defense delivered while the Demons’ offense relied on an ensemble to produce a 37-28 Southland Conference football victory over visiting Lamar. It was the second straight win for the Demons (5-5 overall, 2-3 in the Southland), who recovered from the Cardinals (4-6, 1-4) scoring first-half touchdowns on a 65-yard interception return and a 52-yard punt return. NSU held Lamar to five net yards rushing and 263 total yards, the Cardinals’ second-lowest output of the season, behind 245 in a 59-3 blowout at Oklahoma State. The Cardinals posted just 134 total offensive yards through three quarters and 263 in the game, and came up with a season-best three turnovers: fumbles forced and recovered by Keland Johnson and Adam Jones, and a game-ending interception by Ryan Sorrell, who shared the team lead with eight tackles, along with Wa’Derrious Sellers. The Purple Swarm recorded five sacks, two by JeMarcus Marshall. The Demons’ offense posted 461 yards against the Southland’s top-ranked defense, which was allowing 365 yards per game. Four different running backs scored, including a game-clinching 55-yard dash down the Lamar sideline by freshman De’Mard Llorens with 1:16 to play as NSU was trying to grind out the final 4:09 after forcing a punt following a third-down sack by defensive tackle Lesley Deamer. Northwestern moved ahead to stay midway through the third quarter on a 26-yard Zack Adkins pass to Daniel Taylor for a 23-21 edge. The Demons padded the margin with 14:50 remaining when Adkins looped a 4-yard flag route to Louis Hollier, capping a 70-yard drive and making it 30-21. The Cardinals responded with their only sustained drive of the game, moving 78 yards in 15 plays to narrow the gap to 30-28 on a third-down, 1-yard sweep from Payton Ploch after a first-and -goal at the 1. The teams swapped punts and NSU put it away after Adkins hooked up with Hollier for 10 yards on third-and-6 from the NSU 23 as the clock ticked under two minutes. Adkins became only the third passer in school history, joining Scott Stoker (1988) and Craig Nall, to throw for 2,000 yards in a season. He tied the single-season school mark for touchdown passes (16) set by Don Guidry in 1968, and set the single-season record for completions, going 26-of-35 for 250 yards to blow 13 completions past the 189 Brad Henderson threw last season in 11 games. From almost the outset, the Demons showed resiliency and a dominating defense. The Demons answered Tyrus McGlothen’s 65-yard interception return TD curtailing NSU’s opening drive with Garrett Atzenweiler’s bullish 8-yard run at the end of an 11-play, 75-yard march. After the Demons’ Johnson forced and recovered a fumble at the Lamar 35, Rob Walker darted 18 yards for a score lifting Northwestern ahead 14-7. Early in the second period, LU’s Kevin Johnson tied it when he took an NSU punt back 52 yards, but NSU quickly answered with a 19-yard Chris Moore field goal, set up by Jones’ fumble recovery at the Lamar 19. But Johnson’s 47-yard kickoff return gave the Cardinals a short field and on the third snap, Kade Harrington dashed across from 7 yards away to give Lamar a 21-17 edge the Cards carried into halftime despite being outgained 205-83.

MCNEESE OVERWHELMS DEMONS 43-17 LAKE CHARLES – McNeese State started slowly again but found its stride in the waning stages of the second quarter and Northwestern State couldn’t recover. In their 43-17 victory on Louis Bonnette Field at Cowboy Stadium, the No. 9-ranked Cowboys (9-2 overall, 5-1 in the Southland Conference) sprung to life after falling behind the Demons (5-6, 2-4) 10-7 midway through the second period. McNeese’s first four series ended with a fumble, a failed fourth-down try, a punt and another fruitless fourth down conversion attempt. Only a blocked punt, returned for a touchdown, averted a two-score deficit to the upstart visitors – and it could have been bigger, lamented Demons’ first-year Jay Thomas. McNeese, the nation’s No. 5 scoring offense, hit its average (42.5 per game) precisely by overpowering NSU for 285 yards rushing on 52 carries. The Cowboys ground out drives of 11, 16 and 12 plays as they scored on five consecutive possessions going into, and coming out of, halftime while establishing command after the rocky start, which was nothing new - McNeese’s opponents have scored first in all but one of their games. Marcus Wiltz ran for 135 yards, including a 33-yard touchdown, while Kelvin Bennett added 115 yards for McNeese. Senior quarterback Cody Stroud threw TD passes of 2 and 4 yards in an efficient 195-yard outing, going 19 of 30 without an interception while being victimized by a few drops from his receivers. The Cowboys finally took control with an 11-play, 80-yard drive against the clock ending the first half. With 4.8 seconds to go, Stroud looped a perfectly-thrown pass to David Bush on a flag route in the right corner of the end zone. Two officials briefly huddled before ruling Bush did get a foot in bounds after catching the 4-yard throw that lifted McNeese ahead 21-10 at halftime. It was the second impressive drive in the last 8:27 of the second quarter by the Cowboys. After a 19 -yard Chris Moore field goal gave NSU its second lead at 10-7, McNeese moved 65 yards in five snaps and got a 2-yard bootleg pass from Stroud to tight end Nic Jacobs to go ahead 14-10 with 6:14 left before halftime. The Demons failed to fully convert a golden opportunity when settling for Moore’s three-pointer. A high punt snap was fumbled and NSU’s Keland Johnson ran down Jean Breaux at the Cowboys’ 7, giving the Demons first-and-goal. Two runs went nowhere, and a third down throw underneath across the middle to Louis Hollier gained only four yards, forcing the field goal try. NSU converted an early fumble recovery into a quick lead. Damon Medcafe forced the fumble that Fred Thomas pounced on at the Cowboys’ 45, and three plays later, Zack Adkins found a wide-open Hollier for a 34-yard scoring strike and a 7-0 advantage 4:06 into the contest. McNeese tied it on a 20-yard blocked punt return by Jereon McGilvery early in the second quarter. McNeese took the second half kickoff and methodically pounded downfield, going 83 yards in 16 plays and chewing up the first 8:28 of the third period to open a 28-10 lead at the 6:32 mark on a 1-yard Dylan Long plunge. The margin opened to 43-10 midway through the fourth quarter, but Adkins found Ed Eagan from 25 yards away on a sensational one-handed grab as a McNeese defender tugged his other arm with 4:35 left. That helped Adkins tie the Demons’ single-season pass yardage record. He threw for 242 yards, hitting 19 of 33 without a pickoff, and the TDs to Hollier and Eagan. His 11-game season total matches the 2,393 yards by Scott Stoker in 13 games in 1988.

DEMONS BRING HOME CHIEF CADDO WITH 40-27 VICTORY OVER LUMBERJACKS NATCHITOCHES – Quarterback Zach Adkins and receiver Louis Hollier had milestone performances, while Northwestern State’s Purple Swarm defense and a ball-control offense helped the Demons contain Stephen F. Austin’s explosive offense for a 40-27 NSU triumph in the annual “Battle for Chief Caddo,” the largest trophy in sports. The rivalry game on a chilly, damp day at NSU’s Turpin Stadium ended the season for both teams. Northwestern finished 6-6 overall, its best mark since 7-5 2008, and at 3-4 in the Southland Conference football race while SFA ended 3-9 overall and 1-6 in the league. Adkins threw for 333 yards and Hollier, one of 22 seniors ending their NSU careers, had 165 yards. Both performances ranked 10th on NSU’s single-game lists. With seven catches, including touchdowns of 23 and 38 yards, Hollier finished second in school history on the career receptions list with 114, 12 shy of the record. With his first completion, a 2-yard touchdown pass to Bryant Mitchell, Adkins broke the Demons’ 25-year-old singleseason pass yardage record set in 13 games by Scott Stoker. The junior college transfer finished with 2,726 yards and also a school-record 21 touchdown passes. SFA, which brought the nation’s No. 2-ranked offense (581.3 yards per game) and No. 1 passing game (395.7) in the FCS into the contest, but was held to 465 total yards, only 120 after halftime and just 41 in the fourth quarter as Northwestern protected a 37-24 halftime lead. SFA threw for 315 yards but NSU intercepted three passes, two by junior cornerback Imoan Claiborne, including one on the game’s fifth play that he returned untouched for a 48-yard touchdown. Ignited by that play, the Demons raced to a 16-0 lead just 3:49 into the game. On the first play after the ensuing kickoff, a high snap in a shotgun formation bounded into the end zone and was recovered for a safety by SFA. After the free kick, the Demons needed just five plays to get the Adkins to Mitchell touchdown toss with 11:11 showing in the first quarter. Hollier’s two touchdowns came in the second quarter as NSU’s lead wavered between 13 and 20 points. SFA closed within 37-27 early in the third quarter after an 80-yard drive produced only a 23-yard Jordan Wiggs field goal but the Demons answered with a Chris Moore 36-yard field goal on their next series, and neither team scored in the final 20:18. Northwestern held the ball for 21 of the 30 minutes after halftime, running 43 plays to only 23 for the explosive Lumberjacks. SFA had only six first downs in the second half after getting 19 in the first two quarters. But the NSU defense played more than one half, despite SFA posting 345 yards by halftime. The Purple Swarm stiffened near the goalline, forcing a failed 32-yard field goal into the wind late in the first period, a 22-yard field goal by Wiggs ending a 13-play drive by the Lumberjacks midway through the second quarter, and the 23-yard field goal early in the third period. The Demons ran 25 of the game’s last 34 plays from scrimmage while holding the Lumberjacks at bay. Northwestern senior safeties Ryan Sorrell (12 tackles) and Bert White (9) topped the Purple Swarm defense, along with senior linebacker Pat Black, who had 8 stops to finish the season with 112. He entered the day as the leading tackler in the Southland and his closest competition, SFA’s senior Ortavious Hypolite, also made 8 tackles and finished with 97. Senior defensive tackle Lesley Deamer notched only the eighth sack of the year against SFA late in the game near the NSU end zone, pointing at “Chief Caddo” in celebration. The Demons set a single-season team offensive record for first downs, posting 27 for a season total of 257, topping the 15-year-old mark set in 14 games by 12. NSU posted 469 total yards, getting 98 yards rushing including a 2-yard TD by junior Garrett Atzenweiler.

The Demons’ permanent team captains each year are elected by their peers. At the annual football awards dinner, they are announced and receive an award named for the heroic Joe Delaney, the 1981 AFC Rookie of the Year who died in a 1983 attempt to rescue three drowning children. One survived. June 29 marked the 31st anniversary of Delaney’s noble, unselfish effort. His teammates, and anyone who knew Joe Delaney, were not surprised about what he did. It was who he was, and it personifies why we will always treasure his memory.

There’s a long winding road we can go On the way to Old Normal Hill. A road that was crowded long ago. There are thousands who follow it still. There’s a banner of purple and white We proudly hold up above. There’s a field where the brave Demons fight To glorify something they love.

The Link “A chain is only as strong as its weakest link” The tradition of “The Link” traces back to the mid-1990s with Coach Sam Goodwin’s Demons. It is signified by “the link”- one piece of chain, worn hanging from a necklace, demonstrating total commitment of those players, coaches, and support staff involved in the team’s daily activities. Links are awarded to deserving team members as spring practice ends with the annual Joe Delaney Bowl spring game. They are also awarded to worth newcomers at the end of preseason camp in August. A concrete pillar that showcases a large bronze link is located at the end of the walkway the Demons take leaving their locker room and entering the playing field. At Turpin Stadium. All team members touch the link when they enter and leave the field, a sign of continuing commitment to “linking it up as Demons.” The pillar reads: “The Link” All NSU Demons who Have battled together On the field are Linked together forever Yesterday, today, Tomorrow and always. “Link it up”

FOOTBALL

Demon Football Traditions Demons in the NFL Draft There have been 35 Northwestern State players chosen in the NFL Draft, including 10 in the last 13 seasons. Three Demons have gone in the top five rounds since 2002 (Craig Nall, 2002, 5th round, Packers; Terrence McGee, 2003, 4th round, Bills; David Pittman, 2006, 3rd round, Ravens). NSU’s highest pick: RB John Stephens, 1988, 17th overall. The Demons’ first-ever draft pick: OG Walter Ledet, Eagles, 2nd round, 1939; The busiest round for NSU players: 2nd, with 7 Demons selected. The busiest year: 1999, when 3 Demons were picked (cornerbacks Kenny Wright and Jermaine Jones, defensive end Robert Daniel). Defensive back Jeremy Lane was the latest Demon taken in the draft - selected in the 6th round by the Seattle Seahawks in the 2012 draft.

John Stephens

Rookies of the Year Two Demon greats have won pro Rookie of the Year awards. Tailback Joe Delaney was the 1981 AFC Rookie of the Year when he earned a trip to the Pro Bowl and was named Chiefs MVP after establishing a then-franchise record with 1,121 rushing yards, leading Kansas City to its first winning season since 1973. Seven years later, after breaking Delaney’s Demon career rushing record, tailback John Stephens won the Associated Press NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year honor after running for 1,168 yards for New England.

Demons with NFL Longevity Among the dozens of former Demons to play pro ball, there are an elite group whose careers stretched for many years. Topping the list is Pro Football Hall of Fame tight end Jackie Smith, who played 16 years (1963-78). Pro Bowl quarterback Bobby Hebert played in the NFL from 1985-96 (11 seasons) after three years starring in the USFL, getting a total of 14 pro seasons. All-Pro receiver Mark Duper spent 11 seasons in the NFL (1982-1992), as did offensive lineman Marcus Spears (1995-2005). Receiver Floyd Turner got in 10 seasons (1989-1998) as did safety Mike Green (2000-2009). Linebacker Gary Reasons played 9 years (1984-1992), as did cornerback Randy Hilliard (1990-1998). Receiver Al Dodd (1967-74) had 8 NFL seasons, a long with offensive guard Petey Perot (1979-85), cornerback Kenny Wright (1999-2008). All-time AFL greats Charlie Hennigan and Charlie Tolar starred for the Houston Oilers for 7 years (1960-66), and Terrence McGee played 10 years (2003-12).

Joe Delaney

Marcus Spears

The Cajun Cannon, Bobby Hebert He came to Northwestern in 1978 as a T-formation quarterback with a difficult-to-understand, thick Cajun accent. At the end of his redshirt sophomore year, Bobby Hebert was an honorable mention All-America. Injuries slowed him in his final two seasons, but he went from NSU to the fledgling USFL and became an instant star, winning the championship game MVP award for the Michigan Panthers. That launched an incredible 14-year pro career highlighted by eight seasons when he led the New Orleans Saints to their greatest success. Hebert was 49-26 (.653) as the Saints starting QB, leading the club to its only division title and its best ever record. Today, he co-hosts the Big 870, WWL AM weeknights Sports Talk show in New Orleans and keeps close watch on his alma mater. Bobby Hebert

NFL Focused on NSU in the 1999 Draft The 1998 Demons had three players (Kenny Wright, Jermaine Jones, Robert Daniel) chosen in the 1999 NFL Draft – more than were chosen from six of the Associated Press Top 25 major college teams, and as many or more than 12 of the AP Top 25, such as Penn State and UCLA. NSU led all Division FCS programs and Louisiana institutions with three selections. No other college in the country, at any level, had both starting cornerbacks selected.

Charlie Hennigan

Legends of the AFL, Hennigan and Tolar When the American Football League was created in 1960, former Demon track star and football player Charlie Hennigan was teaching biology and coaching at Jonesboro-Hodge High School, having been cut by the CFL’s Edmonton Eskimos. Demon All-America fullback Charlie Tolar was drafted by Pittsburgh, but cut in 1959. They were among 160 hopefuls who participated in an AFL tryout camp for the Houston franchise, and both beat the odds to make the team. Each became instant All-AFL stars who made the Oilers’ All-Time Team in the mid-1990s, voted by fans. Hennigan set pro records with 1,746 receiving yards in 1961 and 101 catches in 1964, marks that remained for 20-plus years. The 1,746 receiving yards still is third all-time, topped only by Jerry Rice and Isaac Bruce. Hennigan holds NFL records for consecutive 100-yard receiving games (7) and most 200-yard receiving games (3) in a season, and ranks second all-time with 10 100-yard receiving games in a season and four 200-yard career games. Tolar’s 5-6, 220-pound frame earned him nicknames like “Tank” and “The Human Bowling Ball” and his bullish style made him a hero to future NFL star Larry Csonka while earning him a pair of All-AFL honors. His colorful lifestyle earned him a line in a Willie Nelson song: “Men like Charlie Tolar, when they made him,

they broke the mold.” Big Red, Jackie Smith For a track standout whose hurdling skills made him most attractive to the Demons coming out of Kentwood High School, Jackie Smith made the most of his opportunity at NSU from 1959-62. His stats in football were modest in the run-based offenses of the early 1960s, but his size and speed interested pro scouts. Few 10th-round draft picks have worked out so spectacularly. Smith’s rugged style, combined with his speed and athleticism, redefined the positon of tight end in the NFL in the late 1960s. He made five straight Pro Bowl appearances for the St. Louis Cardinals from 1966-70 and retired after the 1978 season as the NFL’s all-time leading tight end with 480 career catches for 7,918 yards. He played in 121 consecutive games. In 1994, Kentwood came to Canton. “Big Red” was inducted in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Last But Not Least, Mr. Irrelevant Among the 34 Demons chosen in the NFL Draft, two hold a special distinction – they were the last players chosen in that year’s draft. Receiver Mike Almond was the 330th and last selection in 1979, going to the Super Bowl champion Pittsburgh Steelers. Safety Mike Green went as the 248th choice in the 2000 Jackie Smth draft, to Chicago. They were each the guests of honor for the “Irrelevant Week” celebration in Newport Beach, Cal., in June, making NSU the only program to have two “Mr. Irrelevants” in the 29-year history of the festivities. Almond made it to the last cut but the Steelers had receivers Lynn Swann and John Stallworth, both in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Green not only made the Bears’ roster, he was their second-leading tackler over his last six seasons and he was traded to NFC champion Seattle, where he played for two more years. Rookie Star, Veteran Style Along with winning the 1988 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year award, former NSU tailback John Stephens was awarded the first Gale Sayers Humanitarian Citation in 1988. Stephens was the choice of a committee headed by Sayers, the Hall of Fame running back who starred for the Chicago Bears. The award is given to the National Football League rookie demonstrating the most outstanding commitment of time and effort toward a personally designated charitable organization, which in Stephens’ case was the Roxbury (Mass.) Comprehensive Community Health Center.

Mike Green

The Turtle, All-Pro Terrence McGee The Turtle came out of his shell in a big way. Cornerback Terrence McGee earned the nickname “Turtle” because of the way he wore his shoulder pads around his head until the last possible moment before preseason practices, to keep his head in the shade. McGee became a starter as a true freshman, and became a star a year later. He ran three punts back for touchdowns, broke the NCAA single-season record for punt return yardage and today stands as the Division I-AA all-time record holder for best career punt return average (17.6, 1999-2002). In his second pro season, 2004, he made the Pro Bowl as a return specialist and emerged as one of the NFL’s better cover cornerbacks for Buffalo, in a 10-year NFL career. Demons on the SI Cover For musicians, it’s the cover of the Rolling Stone. For athletes, being a Sports Illustrated coverboy is the ultimate. Two Demon greats have been there. All-Pro Mark Duper was the subject for the Nov. Terrence McGee 19, 1984 issue showcasing the unbeaten Miami Dolphins, In the Oct. 7, 1991 edition, Saints quarterback Bobby Hebert was on the cover illustrating the “Saints Alive” story saluting their best start ever. NSU products Jackie Smith, Joe Delaney and Hebert have been profiled inside the magazine, and in 2005, Marcus Spears provided the “Best Joke I Can Tell in Public” for SI readers.

Track and Football, a Demon Tradition Dating back to the 1930s, football and track have been intertwined at Northwestern. The Demons’ first football All-American, Walter Ledet, was a track stalwart who became one of the great track coaches in state history, earning him a place in the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame. His powerhouse track programs attracted future pro greats Charlie Hennigan and Jackie Smith to Northwestern. Since then, many outstanding Demon football players have been two-sport stars, including track All-Americans and future pro players Joe Delaney, Mark Duper, Victor Oatis, Al Edwards and Ronnie Powell. Duper had never played football until Delaney and Oatis teased and prodded him into giving it a try for his junior season, 1980. Two years later, Duper was a second-round NFL Draft pick on the way to three Pro Bowls. In 1981, Delaney, Oatis, and Duper ran on the NCAA Division I champion 4x100 meter relay team. NSU remains the only FCS program ever to win an NCAA relay championship men or women indoors or outdoors.

FOOTBALL

Northwestern State Traditions All-Americans In 116 seasons of intercollegiate football, 42 Northwestern players have earned first or second-team All-America honors. Offensive guard Walter “Cajun” Ledet, later a highlysuccessful Demon track and field coach and assistant football coach, was the school’s first All-American in 1938. Only nine players — safety Al Dodd in 1965-66, tailback Joe Delaney in 1979-80, linebacker Gary Reasons in 1981-83, offensive tackle Marcus Spears in 1992-93, center William Broussard in 1998-99, safety Mike Green also in 1998-99, linebacker Jamall Johnson in 2003-04, defensive tackle Tory Collins in 2005-06, and linebacker Derek Rose 2010 and 2011 — won All-America honors in more than one season. Reasons became the first three-time All-American in Division I-AA history. In 1993, Marcus Spears became only the second I-AA player ever (along with Jerry Rice) to make the Football Writers Association of America All-America team. William Broussard and Mike Green, members of the memorable 1998 team which advanced to the national semi-finals for the first time in the program’s history, are the only two teammates at Northwestern to earn All-America status in consecutive seasons.

The Delaney Memorial The Demons’ spring practice ends each year with the Delaney Bowl, honoring the memory of heroic two-sport All-American Joe Delaney. It’s one of several ways NSU honors his memory. There is a display underneath the west side of Turpin Stadium. His No. 44 jersey was retired at halftime of his final game as a Demon. The players elected as permanent team captains by their teammates receive the Joe Delaney Memorial Leadership Awards. Displays in the football offices on the Big John Evans Walk of Honor list those captains and showcase Delaney’s achievements and impact. Each spring since 2012, the Delaney Distinguished Supporter Award is presented to an individual whose involvement with NSU athletics is dynamic.

Chief Caddo At 7 feet, 6-inches tall and 320 pounds, Chief Caddo is the biggest trophy in college football. The wooden Indian statue is awarded to the winner of each year’s Northwestern vs. Stephen F. Austin game. The stately Chief is symbolic of the kinship between the cities of Natchitoches and Nacogdoches, home of SFA. He was named “Chief Caddo” to honor the Indian tribe that not only first settled the two communities, but provided safety for the early white settlers in the area. The statue originated in 1960, when Northwestern and SFA decided the loser of their 1961 game would have a tree chopped down from its nearby forest to be sent to the winning school, who would have a statue carved. The Demons won that 1961 matchup 35-19 and SFA delivered a 2,000-pound black gum log to Northwestern. Harold Green of Logansport spent over 230 hours carving the statue. Since the Demons and Lumberjacks have been playing for Chief Caddo, Northwestern holds a 29-17-1 advantage in the series. In the 49 years of the Chief’s life, he’s spent 34 in Natchitoches. The two teams did not play each other from 1965-68 and in 1973. To those who know the Chief best, that comes as no surprise. Even an SFA coach admitted a few years ago that the Chief seemed to like Natchitoches, blaming it on meat pies and Cajun cooking. But veteran Northwestern followers know his allegiance goes even deeper. After all, if you were a wooden statue, would you want to spend time around a bunch of Lumberjacks?

The George Doherty Wing The Demon football offices, as well as the offices for the track and baseball coaching staffs, are located on the second floor of the NSU Fieldhouse. On June 8, 1991, the area was named “The George Doherty Wing” in memory of the former Demon head coach and athletic director, who spearheaded planning of the ultramodern facility.

How we became the Demons In 1923, when Northwestern was known as Louisiana Normal College, President V.L. Roy and Coach H. Lee Prather held a contest, open to students, to choose a nickname for Normal’s athletic teams. A $10 prize, donated by the athletic department, was on the line. Flaming N logo Names suggested included the Gridiron Knights, DaredevThe distinctive Northwestern athletic logo was designed ils, Boosters, Sharks, Cannons, Deers, in 1984 by former Demon kicker Dale Quickel.

DEMON Stadium namesakes At least four Demon coaches have stadiums named after them. NSU’s Turpin Stadium for football honors 22-year head coach Harry “Rags” Turpin. NSU’s Ledet Track Complex pays tribute to head track and assistant football coach Walter Ledet. NSU’s Brown-Stroud Field baseball stadium pays tribute, in part, to longtime assistant football and head baseball coach Alvin “Cracker” Brown. Louisiana Tech’s Aillet Stadium honors longtime head coach Joe Aillet, who grew up in Natchitoches, played for the Demons and was an assistant coach on the 1939 undefeated team before being hired as head coach of the rival Bulldogs. Brown replaced him on Turpin’s staff, which also included Ledet.

Retired jerseys Hundreds of players have worn the Purple and White in the nine decades of Northwestern football, but only five have had their jersey numbers permanently retired. Al Dodd (41), an All-American on the unbeaten 1966 team, was the first to receive this honor. Joe Delaney’s No. 44 was retired at halftime of his final game in 1981. Gary Reasons’ No. 34 was set aside after his career ended in 1983. Jackie Smith’s No. 80 was retired at homecoming 1994. In 1997, the familiar No. 12 jersey worn by Bobby Hebert was retired during halftime ceremonies of homecoming. The State Fair Classic Gone, but not forgotten. For 40 years, old rivals Northwestern and Louisiana Tech played in Shreveport during the first weekend of the Louisiana State Fair. After the game, players and fans from both teams often made their way down the midway, enjoying the rides and carnival games. The series ended when Louisiana Tech withdrew after the 1987 meeting, halting what at the time was the South’s oldest active Division I-AA rivalry. The teams played for “The Rag,” a banner displaying names and colors of both schools which hung in the Student Union of the winning team for the next year. Trident Test Each spring and before fall practice, the Demon players go through a series of strength, speed and conditioning tests. Since three aspects of athleticism are being tested, they were named “Trident Tests” by the coaching staff. Each player is awarded an overall grade based on his combined ranking among all team members in every test. The winner receives the Kirt Straughter Memorial Award, named in honor of the 1989 Trident Test winner who drowned that year.

FOOTBALL Spirit of Northwestern Marching Band Nearly 300 strong, the dynamic Northwestern band has never lost a halftime show under the direction of director Bill Brent. The band’s enthusiasm was a major factor, said Coach Sam Goodwin, as Northwestern’s “Road Warriors” won key SLC games at North Texas and Stephen F. Austin to capture the 1988 SLC title. At home games, it’s a treat to watch Brent’s game day rehearsals, now led by Brent’s successor Jeff Matthews. How Vic became Vic On September 22, 1984, the Demon mascot received his official name by means of another contest, sponsored by the Athletic Department. The contest was open to faculty, staff, and students. The objective to find a name for the Demon. Over 300 entries were submitted to the committee. The grand prize was an all expense paid weekend at the Louisiana State Fair Classic. Ray Carney, an alum of the University, was the official winner with “Vic” which is short for “Victory.” Vic the Demon 1, Chief Brave Spirit 0 Few events in Southland Conference history attracted as much attention as the Oct. 24, 1992, spontaneous scrap between Northwestern’s mascot, Vic the Demon, and Northeast’s Chief Brave Spirit. “The Tussle in Turpin” happened midway through the second quarter of the Homecoming game. KTBS-TV’s Sam Schaecter made it his “Play of the Day” and the footage was picked up by ESPN -- who declared Vic the victor. Even Monroe’s News-Star newspaper and KNOE-TV conceded the decision to Vic, who rallied after the Chief knocked off his head. Scott Ostler of the San Francisco Chronicle called it “the fight of the year” and wrote, “Vic won a unanimous decision. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen a fight where someone’s head actually gets ripped off -- and yet he rallies to win!” The footage made its way around the country, appearing on CNN Sports Tonight, ESPN College Gameday, NBC’s Today Show, KNBC in Los Angeles, WUSA in Washington, D.C., and many other TV outlets. USA TODAY featured the mascot melee in its Oct. 28, 1992 issue. At year’s end, the fight was named -- by viewer vote -- fourth on CNN’s Plays of the Year” show. The frisky mascots met again, with plenty of fanfare but no altercation, when NLU visited for a Jan. 30 basketball game. Shane Clabaugh, the senior social work major who served as Vic, explained: “After he tore my head off, that was it. That goes against the code of ethics for mascots.” Clabaugh said he won: “I scored a takedown. I was mad because he knocked my head off. I wanted to take off his head -- his real one.”

Dr. Darlene Williams university received $32.7 million to far exceed its goal of $18.84 million. A second campaign, which concluded in 2012, raised more than $36 million, surpassing a goal of $25 million. That funding included the establishment of numerous endowed chairs and professorships to enhance academic programs at the university. In addition to the private funding, Northwestern State has received more grant monies in recent years from state and federal agencies and private foundations than at any time since its founding in 1884. Webb has also expanded the university’s outreach by spearheading the development at NSU of the largest electronic education and distance learning network of any university in Louisiana. Northwestern State offers courses and 34 accredited degree programs to students across the nation and world through Internet and compressed video. Several university online programs have been rated as being among the best buys in the United States. Millions of dollars have been obtained during Webb’s presidency for new and renovated facilities. The new facilities include the Wellness, Recreation and Activity Center, Student Services Center and University Place I and II. Morrison Hall, the Family and Consumer Sciences Building, Williamson Hall, Russell Hall and Caspari Hall have been completely renovated and restored. Northwestern State’s academic programs and athletic teams continue to receive positive national recognition. The Computer Information Systems program has won 12 national championships in academic competition over the past 12 years. The university achieved Tier I status in the U.S. News and World Report ranking of regional universities on two occasions. The master’s program in nursing was rated as one of the Top 100 by U.S. News. A new Doctor of Nursing Practice program was created along with a Post Master’s Certificate in Global Security and Intelligence and a master’s in homeland security. The university has added new undergraduate academic programs in theatre, criminal justice, unified public safety administration, organizational leadership, addiction studies, liberal arts, general studies, communication and allied health under Webb. Northwestern State is looking to add and enhance academic programs that meet the state’s workforce development needs. Several faculty earned prestigious Fulbright Fellowships to teach internationally and Northwestern State students have received several of the top scholarships awarded for graduate studies. Demon and Lady Demon athletic teams have won team conference championships in baseball, men’s and women’s basketball, football, soccer, softball and women’s tennis and had numerous All-Americans in men’s and women’s track and field. Student-athletes at Northwestern State also excel academically as the university has the state’s top five-year average among Louisiana Division I Football Championship Subdivision schools in the NCAA’s Graduation Success Rate study. Northwestern State is among the Southland Conference leaders in graduation rates. The athletic program has also recorded strong results on the NCAA Academic Progress Report led by state and Southland Conference-best scores by the men’s basketball program in the latest survey. A former center on the Northwestern football team, Webb is an avid supporter of the university’s athletic programs and has held positions of leadership at the national level in intercollegiate athletics. He has served as chair of the board of directors of the Southland Conference and has been a member of the prestigious NCAA Executive Council and the NCAA Division I Board of Directors that oversee all major policy decisions by the governing body for major college sports. He served as the Southland Conference representative on the NCAA Presidential Advisory Group. A 1965 graduate of Northwestern in mathematics and business education, Webb earned a master of science degree in mathematics from NSU in 1966. He received a doctorate in education from the University of Southern Mississippi in 1971 with a concentration in mathematics and research. Webb was a member of the faculty of Longwood College in Farmville, Va, from 1966 until 1974. He served as Director of Higher Education and Teacher Certification in the Louisiana Department of Education from 1974 through 1976. He moved to Southeastern Louisiana University in 1976 and in 13 years there held positions as director of institutional research, EEO officer, registrar and member of the mathematics faculty. He became Dean of Instruction and Graduate Studies and professor of mathematics at Northwestern in 1989. In that position, he was responsible for campus-wide policy development, planning, advancement, and review of both graduate and undergraduate programs. While Webb was in that position, graduate enrollment increased by 35 percent, and internal funding for faculty research increased by 200 percent. As dean, Webb proposed the concept for NSU’s successful Freshman Connection Program and served as a member of the writing team for a grant proposal that resulted in a five year, $1.7 million Title III grant to improve student retention. He also chaired the steering committee for NSU’s Self Study for the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. He has been active in the community as a member of the board of directors of the Natchitoches Chamber of Commerce and as a member of the Association for the Preservation of Historic Natchitoches, the Natchitoches Historic Foundation, the Natchitoches-Northwestern Symphony Society, Rotary Club, and the First Baptist Church. Webb and his wife Brenda have two daughters, both honor graduates of Northwestern State. Tamara and her husband, former NSU All-America baseball pitcher Reggie Gatewood, live in Long Valley, N.J., with their children Tyler and Ava. Lauren is married to former outstanding NSU baseball player Nick Simokaitis, and they live in Crestwood, Mo., with their sons Nicholas and Benjamin. Randy and Brenda Webb

Jerry Pierce

Vice President • External Affairs Only a handful of people have served Northwestern State as long as Jerry Pierce has, and nobody has done so in a more understated manner. In his 50th year on the university’s staff, Pierce’s impact on NSU and the city of Natchitoches is indelible. He’s never wanted or gotten top billing, but consistently, he gets results to benefit the university. He is in his 23rd year as vice president of external affairs at Northwestern. A significant aspect of his job is oversight of intercollegiate athletics. Pierce works closely with athletic director Greg Burke and all NSU coaches and staff members to keep Northwestern athletics competing at a championship level week after week, month after month and year after year. Pierce is an avid tennis player who has been a member of USTA teams that have won more than a dozen state championships, five regional titles and one national championship. Well before moving into the executive position, Pierce had already served his alma mater, adopted hometown and state with distinction. In his role as vice president, he overNSU Athletic Council sees university operations in athletics, alumni and development, public Jody Biscoe (Chair) and media relations and assists President Dr. Randall J. Webb in governLaCarsha Babers mental affairs activities. Many of those duties were his since the 1970s as Brittany Blackwell he worked under four previous presidents as Northwestern advanced from Kaymin Carter (Student) NAIA to NCAA College Division to NCAA Division I athletic status in 1977. Catherine Faucheaux A 1961 graduate of Northwestern, Pierce served as trainer/manager Cole Gentry for the Demon football team during his college years, working closely with Baylee Gray (Student) legendary coach Jack Clayton. After earning his journalism degree, Pierce Kelee Grimes went to work for the New Orleans Times Picayune, serving as a reporter Steve Gruesbeck and editor. He was named executive sports editor at the age of 24. Marcus Jones Natalie Laurence In 1965, he chose to raise his two sons in Natchitoches and returned Dr. Jack Pace to NSU as sports information director. He was promoted to news bureau Dr. Charles Pellegrin director two years later and assumed additional responsibilities in athletKelee Roddy ics, alumni affairs and other areas through the years. Steve Story He founded, in 1972, the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame facility in Prather Coliseum on the NSU campus, providing a home for an entity creEx-Officio Members ated in 1958. He established annual induction activities that remain in Greg Burke place nearly four decades later, and served as director of the Hall for 19 Carrie Greene years until his promotion to vice president in 1990 forced him to step aside Dustin Eubanks Roxanne Freeman from the volunteer post. Dr. Patrice Moulton He helped guide Northwestern into three athletic conferences (Trans Dr. Vicki Parrish America, 1979; Gulf Star, 1983; Southland, 1987) and NCAA Division I staJerry Pierce tus in 1977. He is a past president of the Southland and has served the Dr. Randall Webb conference through other offices and committee positions. In 1994, he was named one of Louisiana’s 20 most influential sports figures by the Times-Picayune. Also on the list were New Orleans Saints owner Tom Benson, LSU athletic director Joe Dean and basketball coach Dale Brown, and Grambling football coaching legend Eddie Robinson. His salesmanship and managerial skills were instrumental in convincing Tri-Star Productions to film the 1989 smash hit movie Steel Magnolias, with an all-star cast including Julia Roberts, Sally Field and Dylan McDermott in Natchitoches and on the NSU campus. The movie’s impact on tourism in Natchitoches continues to resonate more than two decades later. Pierce is regarded as one of the most effective legislative liaisons for Louisiana’s higher education system. He is also a popular after dinner speaker and master of ceremonies who has spoken at hundreds of events since 1965. In addition to his administrative responsibilities, Pierce is a member of the Journalism Department faculty. He is the author of one book and editor of two others and has written thousands of editorials, columns, features and other articles for newspapers and magazines. Pierce and his wife Regina, a teacher, live on Cane River Lake in Natchitoches. He has two sons, Randy and Rick, both NSU graduates; and three grandchildren, twins Evan and Amanda, 23, and Miranda, 12, and two stepchildren, Nicholas and Natalie.

Greg Burke

Director of Athletics The Burke File

AGE: 57 (Born Oct. 22, 1956) • HOMETOWN: Alliance, Ohio • HIGH SCHOOL: Marlington ’74 • COLLEGE: Mt. Union ’78 (cum laude) POSTGRADUATE: Kent State ’86 • BEFORE HE WAS A.D.: Sports writer, Alliance (Ohio) Review, 1972-78; director of news and sports information, Hiram (Ohio) College (1978-85); administrative intern, NSU athletics, 1985-86; director, NSU Athletic Association, 1986-92; director of athletic development, University of Akron, 1992-96. BIG FAN OF: Cleveland Browns, Indians and Cavaliers • INTERESTS: Working out, watching ESPN and VH1 Classic, family outings.

Beginning his 19th year as director of athletics at Northwestern State, Greg Burke has received national acclaim for the job he’s done in his adopted hometown. Burke has been athletics director at Northwestern since Aug. 29, 1996, when his first day included speaking at the annual NSU/Independence Bowl Kickoff Luncheon. Burke is the longest serving AD at any Louisiana or Southland Conference institution. He has steered NSU athletics to many of its greatest accomplishments while overseeing a program that has fielded championship caliber teams in nearly all of the school’s NCAA Division I sports. Last February, he was presented the “Outstanding Contributions to Amateur Football Award” by the north Louisiana chapter of the National Football Foundation and College Football Hall of Fame. Two years ago, he was included among 29 winners of the Under Amour AD of the Year Award presented by the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA). Burke was the 2010-11 president of the Football Championship Subdivision Athletics Directors Association. He has begun a term on the NCAA Division I Committee on Academic Performance; Burke previously served on the prestigious NCAA Championships/Sports Management Cabinet. He previously served a four-year term on the NCAA Division I Football Issues Committee (1999-2002) and concurrently served a term on the eight-member NCAA FCS Committee that administers the national playoffs. Burke has served as a site supervisor for Football Championship Subdivision playoff games across the nation and he is regarded as one of the country’s premiere advocates of FCS football. Burke’s 17 years as athletic director include 37 Southland Conference regular-season or tournament championships, 61 All-American and Academic All-American student athletes, and three U.S. Olympic competitors. Twenty NSU teams have taken part in NCAA or WNIT postseason competition. All of the school’s athletic facilities have undergone nearly $7 million in improvements in the past four years. Burke spearheaded a $2 million series of sponsorships for new scoreboards installed for 2008-09 at all NSU athletic venues; the $700,000 Second Century Circle fencing project for athletic venues; and a $500,000 softball grandstand project completed earlier this year. NSU in 2004-05 became the first (and remains the only) Southland Conference member in the league’s five decades of history to sweep football, men’s basketball and baseball championships in the same athletic year. It’s been done only once in Southeastern Conference history, by Alabama in 1933-34, and only four times in Big Ten Conference history, the last time by Michigan State in 1979-80. Those accomplishments have come with one of the more modest athletic budgets in the state and conference. Burke’s management skill and fundraising ability have been pivotal. Burke has displayed a remarkable ability to hire dynamic head coaches. In just their second seasons, women’s basketball co-head coaches Brooke and Scott Stoehr guided NSU to the NCAA Tournament while baseball coach Lane Burroughs executed the best one-season turnaround in Southland Conference history and tied NSU’s school record. Anchors of the NSU department include current gead coaches Mike McConathy, Louisiana’s all-time career basketball wins leader; 2013 Louisiana softball coach of the Year Donald Pickett; Hugh and Stephanie Hernesman, who just led the volleyball program to its best two seasons in the 31-year history of the program; and Patric DuBois, whose Lady Demon tennis program has two Southland Conference titles in the past four years. Several other Burke hires had great success at Northwestern State that propelled them to national prominence in subsequent positions. From his first day on the job, Burke has stressed the importance of having a balanced athletic program. To that end, tremendous competitive strides have been made in women’s athletics under his guidance. Along with the aforementioned volleyball surge, NSU’s soccer program was the first in Louisiana to reach the NCAA Tournament. Softball and tennis made NCAA Tournament appearances in 2013, the second in four seasons for Lady Demon tennis, and softball returned in 2014. Burke has established a high standard for NSU Athletics in academic achievement and community service. The academic accomplishments are reflected annually in the NCAA’s APR and GSR studies. Community service by NSU student-athletes, coaches and staff more than doubled to over 5,000 hours in 2009-10 and has remained at that level. Burke spearheaded the adoption of the slogan “Great Tradition, Brighter Future” for NSU Athletics, and the creation of NSU Athletics “Cornerstones” for student-athletes: “Academic Achievement, Personal Responsibility, Competitive Success … Every Minute, Every Hour, Every Day!” In 2005, Burke was one of three recipients of the All-America Football Foundation’s Gen. Robert R. Neyland Outstanding Athletic Director Award and that same year, was also tabbed as one of two Natchitoches Parish Cenla Newsmakers of 2005 by the Alexandria Town Talk newspaper’s editorial staff. He received the 2006 “Outstanding Alumni Award” from his alma mater, Marlington High School in Alliance, Ohio, recognizing his community service and professional achievements. Burke became one of only 21 alumni honored since the award was instituted in 1982. Burke is a past president of the Natchitoches Kiwanis Club and remains active in that civic group. He has also been part of the steering committee for the Natchitoches Christmas Festival and is a former president of the Natchitoches Area Jaycees. He is involved with the American Heart Association and was 2010 March of Dimes chairman locally. His wife, Susu, is a Natchitoches native, NSU graduate and an elementary teacher. Their 20-year-old daughter, Catherine, graduated from St. Mary’s High School in May of 2012 and attends Louisiana Tech. Burke with his wife Susu and daughter Catherine

These accomplishments could not have been achieved without the support and efforts of the student-athletes, coaches, faculty, and administration. Also, Jody is the Director for the Louisiana Addiction Technology Transfer Center at NSU. He has served on the National Addiction Technology Transfer Center’s (ATTC) - Practice and National Leadership Institute Committee.
