Demon coaches BRAD LAIRD HEAD COACH FIFTH SEASON AS NSU HEAD COACH

In 2004, the Demons tied an NCAA FCS record by notching two safeties vs. Texas Southern. A year earlier, his defense set FCS records by allowing only 1 first down and a net of minus 1-yard offense to Oklahoma Panhandle.

A three-time defensive coordinator for a total of eight seasons at Northwestern State, Laird saw the Purple Swarm regain that moniker in 2018, collecting 32 sacks (its highest total since 2002) and forcing 26 turnovers. The Demons forced another 24 turnovers in 2019. Counting the 2017 season when Laird was the defensive coordinator, the Demons enter 2020 having forced 67 turnovers in their past 34 games. From 2013-16, Laird was in charge at his high school alma mater, Ruston, where he averaged more than seven wins in four playoff seasons as head coach.In 2017, Laird restored the “Purple Swarm” brand for the NSU defense, which had struggled in the past two seasons but showed flashes of brilliance, especially down the stretch. In the final month of the season, the Demons twice recorded 13 tackles for loss in wins over Houston Baptist and Abilene Christian, and staged a series of goal-line stands, two in the season-ending victory over Stephen F. Austin.

Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, wide receiver Gavin Landry was a two-time Campbell Trophy semifinalist, earning the distinction in 2020 and 2021.Laird’s first Northwestern State team in 2018 posted a one-win improve ment from the 2017 season, but the feel around the program was one of effectiveTherenostalgia.wasarecord-setting offense that would have made Laird the quar terback smile. Making Laird equally happy were the strides the NSU defense made in his first season as the head coach.

Away from the field, offensive lineman Chris Zirkle was a Campbell Trophy semifinalist, a nominee for the American Football Coaches Association Allstate Good Works Team and a semifinalist for the Doris Robinson Award in 2019.

Laird was running the Purple Swarm defense when NSU was second nationally in total defense (2004, 274.7 yards allowed per game) and ninth (2003, 287.3 ypg) and produced 75 turnovers from 2003-05. The Demons set three NCAA records and led the Southland Conference in total defense and rushing defense, also ranking highly in pass defense each season. The Demons won their most recent Southland championship and made their last FCS playoff appearance in 2004.

Linebacker Peyton Guidry was named the national FCS Defensive Player of the Week after making 18 tackles against the Lumberjacks.

•

The first four seasons of Brad Laird’s tenure as the head coach at his alma mater have produced record-setting offenses, turnover-happy defenses and arguably the most challenging set of circumstances faced by a Northwestern State football team.

As Laird enters his fifth season at the helm of the Demon football pro gram, he is ready to build on the promise shown in an abbreviated spring 2021 season.In Laird’s first three seasons, the Demon offense rewrote the school passing record book, including seeing Shelton Eppler overwrite Laird’s career passing yardage mark of 6,037 yards which stood since 1995. Despite playing just six games during the 2021 spring season, the Demons saw quarterback Bryce Rivers become the first Demon to surpass 400 yards passing in a game more than once, doing so in each of the final two games.Individual honors have found their way to Natchitoches as NSU has produced three All-Americans, a pair of HERO Sports Sophomore All-Americans and two Freshman All-Americans under Laird.

From 2005-06, Laird served as the director of Northwestern State’s alumni office.The Demons’ all-time career passing leader (6,037 yards, 1991-95), he was a 2015 inductee in the N-Club Hall of Fame, the university’s highest athlet ic honor.Anall-state quarterback in the state’s largest classification at Ruston, Laird was the 1990 Superdome Classic MVP for the Bearcats’ unbeaten team that finished ranked No. 1 nationally by USA Today. He was inducted in the Louisiana High School Sports Hall of Fame in 2010.

After a record-setting playing career at NSU, Laird joined coach Sam Goodwin’s Demon staff in 1996, serving as the defensive graduate assistant coach working for then Demon defensive coordinator Peveto. He then worked for coach Don Shows at West Monroe High School in 1997, going on to coach at Ouachita High, Longview (Texas) High (under former FCS national champion coach Pat Collins) and Nashville (Ark.) High (under his father, Billy Laird) before joining Stoker’s staff as defensive coordinator prior to spring practice in 2003 (Collins and Shows are in the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame).

In the 2018 season, Lockett’s cornerbacks played a pivotal role in the Purple Swarm defense ranking among the national leaders in turnovers and turnover margin in a season in which Lockett added the assistant head coach title to his resume.

Led by Claiborne and emerging playmaker Adam Jones, the Demons snared 15 interceptions in 2014 after grabbing seven the previous season. Under the tutelage of Lockett, a former standout receiver at North western State, Jones made a seamless transition from linebacker to safety, resulting in Jones intercepting a team-high five passes.

In his most recent season coaching strictly cornerbacks, Lockett’s 2013 group helped the Demons’ Purple Swarm rank second in the South land Conference in total defense. Rejoining his alma mater’s coaching staff in time for the 2010 spring practice, Lockett’s impact was apparent that fall. The corners became a strong unit in the second half of the 2010 season. In 2011, Lockett’s cornerbacks sparkled throughout the season and Lane became the sixthround pick of the Seattle Seahawks in the 2012 NFL Draft. The Demons were fourth in the rugged Southland Conference in total defense and led the league in red zone defense.

He also competed in track and field for NSU. At Franklin Senior High School, he was a first-team All-District receiver and defensive back, and a second-team Coaches All-State defensive back, making 7 interceptions and 7 pass breakups as a senior.

LORMAN, Mississippi – Time and again Northwestern State’s Purple Swarm defense bent but did not break Saturday night. Then the north end of Spinks-Casem Stadium struck again. Alcorn’s Felix Harper spun into that end zone on a 1-yard touchdown run with 4:11 to play, capping a Braves’ fourth-quarter rally that dropped Northwestern State, 13-10, in non-conference action.

“That definitely put a spark in the team,” said running back Scooter Adams, who ran for 92 yards on 12 carries and added 36 yards on a team-high seven catches. “That gave us some momentum. We’ve got to keep getting more explosive plays like that.” Adams had the Demons’ other big offensive play in the first half.

Defense: PJ Herrington 9 tackles; Race Moser 8 tackles; Jomard Valsin 8 tackles, 0.5 TFL; Kyle Moore 6 tackles; Kevin Davis Jr. 5 tackles; Keenan Leachman 5 tackles; Isaiah Longino 4 tackles; Chandler Moncrief 4 tackles; Adrion Robertson 3 tackles; Cedric Anderson 2 tackles, 2 PBUs, 1 INT; Shemar Bartholomew 2 tackles, 1 INT, 1 PBU; Tyree Cormier 2 tackles; Jared Pedraza 2 tackles; Ja'Quay Pough 2 tackles; Kwame Sarkodie 2 tackles, 1 TFL, 1 PBU; JaBralen Yarber 2 tackles, 1 PBU, 0.5 TFL; Junior Brown 1 tackle; Maurice Campbell 1 tackle; Steve Conerly 1 tackle; Donovan Green 1 tackle; Keshawn Jackson 1 tackle; Dante Thomas 1 tackle, 1 TFL; Jaeden Ward 1 tackle; Darius Whitfield 1 tackle.

“It’s frustrating when you look at the scoreboard at the end of the game,” fourth-year head coach Brad Laird said. “The thing I told the guys, you look at the second half, coming out of the half, we get the interception, and we have the touchdown to Jay (Griffin) that gets called back. Those are things, when you’re playing games like this, you can’t have.”

While Harper’s touchdown regained the lead for Alcorn (1-1), the one play the Demons (0-2) would like to have back came on third and 10 from the Braves 46.

“In that type of ball game – as well as we played defensively for four quarters – the opportunity they had – the one big play – puts you in a tough situation,” fourth-year head coach Brad Laird “Defensively,said.we played well. We played hard. We were able to get off the field. When you’re in those tight games, it’s often that one play.”

Harper found Manny Jones for a field-flipping, 50-yard completion that gave Alcorn a first-and-goal at the NSU 4. Even then, it took the Braves three cracks from the 4 before Harper twisted in for the go-ahead“Lastscore.week, it’s on film – we had 28 missed tackles,” said senior linebacker Ja’Quay Pough, who finished with 12 tackles and a sack. “This game, we weren’t letting it happen again."The Purple Swarm limited Alcorn to 122 yards on 41 carries, an average of 3 yards per rush in a game where neither team found much running room.

Trailing 17-7, Adams took a second-down carry through a gaping hole 36 yards for his first touchdown of the season, cutting the NSU deficit to a field goal. Adams’ score was set up by a Cedric Anderson interception of Jace Ruder. “That came off a free safety blitz,” said Anderson, who also broke up a pass in the end zone in the second half. “I have to give credit to (PJ) Herrington. He came in on the blitz and hit the quarterback."

Defense: Ja'Quay Pough 12 tack les, 1.5 TFL, 1.0 sack; Kyle Moore 7 tackles, 1 TFL; Jomard Valsin 7 tackles, 0.5 TFL; Cedric Anderson 6 tackles; Donovan Green 6 tackles, 0.5 TFL; JaBralen Yarber 5 tackles, 0.5 TFL; Keenan Leachman 4 tack les; Princeton Malbrue 3 tackles; Kevin Davis 3 tackles; Race Moser 3 tackles; PJ Herrington 3 tackles; Isaiah Longino 2 taclkes, 1.0 TFL, 1.0 sack; John Daigle 2 tackles; Brayden Staggs 1 tackle; Donovan Duvernay 1 tackle; Fred Lee 1 tackle; Trey Williams 1 tackle; Kendal Harmon 1 tackle; Jacob Washington 1 tackle; Jaeden Ward 1 tackle; Tyree Cormier 1 tackle; Maurice Campbell 1 QB hurry.

DENTON, Texas – There were plenty of big plays and turnovers in Northwestern State’s season-opening football game at North Texas on Saturday night. Unfortunately for the Demons, they had too many of one and not enough of the other.

Still, Northwestern State made Kendrick Price’s early 18-yard touchdown catch from Kaleb Fletcher stand up.

The Demons (0-1) matched the Mean Green punch for punch for most of the first half, thanks to a pair of big plays on offense and an opportunistic defense. Down 7-0 after Torrey’s first touchdown – a 24-yard run – Northwestern State answered with its first big play. Kaleb Fletcher hit Kendrick Price on a slant route, and Price broke through a one-on-one tackle, turning it into a 65-yard touchdown.

UIW 38 Northwestern State 27 Oct. 2, 2021 • Natchitoches, La. Turpin Stadium • 6,125

NATCHITOCHES – One thing the Northwestern State football team did not lack for Satur day night was scoring opportunities. Converting those chances was a little more difficult.

The Demons won the turnover battle against the Cardinals inside Turpin Stadium, but UIW took better advantage of NSU’s miscues as the visitors scored a 38-27 Southland Conference victory.“I’m disappointed for the guys,” fourth-year head coach Brad Laird said. “They deserved the opportunity to win the game. One thing we talked about today was finish – not necessarily finishing the game but finishing each play, doing your job. I thought our guys did that.”

The Skyhawks jumped to a 14-0 lead after a first quarter in which UT Martin racked up 229 yards offense. A strip sack by Isaiah Longino and ensuing fumble recovery by Jared Pedraza kept the Skyhawks from going 3-for-3 on scoring drives in the opening quarter.

Toward the end of a first half in which UT Martin (2-1) built a 21-0 lead, the Demons (0-3) began to capture some of that momentum.

NSU turned its three extra possessions into just seven points as Kaleb Fletcher hit Javonis Isaac for a 1-yard score with 5:01 to play in the third quarter, cutting UIW’s lead to 28-20. It was Isaac’s first career touchdown catch in a Demon uniform and part of a career-best 319-yard passing game for Fletcher on 36-of-48 passing. “(Winning the turnover battle) was one of the big keys – us coming in minus-4 and them coming in plus-4 or plus-5,” Laird said. “That was one thing we had to do. Now, we have to take the next step when we get those opportunities and turn them into points."

Eddie Godina’s 27-yard field goal at the first-half buzzer capped a 10-play, 65-yard drive to get the Demons on the board at 21-3. For the second straight week, Northwestern State took the second-half kickoff and drove down the field. Unlike a week ago at Alcorn, the Demons completed the drive as Kaleb Fletcher found Jay Griffin in the along the far sideline for a 21-yard touchdown on fourth and 9. “I’m happy we got the offense moving more than in the first two weeks, but there are obviously things we have to get cleaned up during the off week,” said Griffin, who finished with five catches for 33 yards. “Fixing our mental mistakes and not hurting ourselves in the red zone – that’s what we’ve done.”

O-Line: Jakob Sell 80 snaps, 83%, 2 knockdowns; Logan Canerdy 80 snaps, 81%, 9 knockdowns; Stevie Ballard 38 snaps, 81%, 1 knockdown; D'Andre Richard 62 snaps, 77%, 2 knockdowns; Brayden Staggs 80 snaps, 75%, 7 knockdowns; Jordan Cooper 18 snaps, 70%; Alzycha Ulufale-Hentz 42 snaps, 67%, 8 knockdowns.

For the second straight week, the Demons (0-4, 0-1) found themselves down double dig its in the first quarter as UIW (4-1, 2-0) used its quick-strike offense to build a 14-0 advantage less than seven minutes into the game. From there, the Purple Swarm defense settled into the pattern it displayed against UT Martin on Sept. 18, playing more soundly in its assignments and cutting down on missed tackles.After surrendering 28 first-half points, the Demons allowed just 10 in the second half, allowing NSU to slice an 18-point lead to eight late in the third quarter.

The Demons went 1-for-6 in the red zone against UT Martin in Northwestern State’s home opener at Turpin Stadium, falling 35-10 to the visiting Skyhawks. “When you look at this game, you go back to the first half,” fourth-year head coach Brad Laird said. “The opportunities we had, four times plus-30 or in and not getting any points out of it. Fast forward to the second half, a great drive and a great call on fourth down for the touchdown to Jay (Griffin). Then get the ball back, driving down and have the turnover at the goal line.“We got the momentum, but we weren’t able to sustain it.”

Northwestern State’s offense managed just 254 yards on the game, 104 of which came in the first half.

Instead, one came from the Cowboys as Corione Harris returned a Zachary Clement fumble 15 yards for the final of McNeese’s three second-quarter touchdowns and a 21-3 lead. “We had some big stops defensively,” Laird said. “One came after the fake punt they had in the second half. There was another after the punt return to the 6. We got a stop when they turned it over out of the end zone, but we weren’t able to get that big momentum takeaway that we have in the past. In times like that, whenever we can’t get it going, that’s when a big takeaway can change the momentum.”

As the Demons (2-4, 1-2) fought the wind, the Cowboys (2-4, 1-2) took advantage.

The tough part of the Southland Conference game for the homestanding Demons came in the second quarter as the Cowboys took advantage of the wind and extremely favorable field position to set the tone for a 35-17 McNeese victory.

“I’m very disappointed,” fourth-year head coach Brad Laird said. “We came out up 3-0 and went through a bad stretch in the second quarter. It all started when they pinned that punt at the 1. We were going into the wind, and their next three possessions were on the plus-24, the plus-42 and the plus-48. They converted two of those into touchdowns.”

In a matchup between the Southland’s top turnover-forcing defense (Northwestern State) and its stingiest offense in terms of giveaways (McNeese), the Demons did not produce enough extra possessions to change the momentum.

For the third straight week, the Demons found themselves facing a double-digit, first-quar ter deficit as the Huskies struck first on Fudge Woods’ 33-yard touchdown run and added a 37-yard Gino Garcia field goal after NSU’s lone turnover of the game – a fumbled punt snap.

A week after struggling to convert three UIW turnovers into points, the Demons cashed in on their plus-2 turnover margin against the Huskies (0-5, 0-2). Northwestern State recovered three fumbles, converting them into 14 points, including Clement’s go-ahead score midway through the fourth quarter.

“A big thing was (quarterbacks) coach (Joey) Fitz(gerald) made sure I knew what I was seeing, and (quarterback Kaleb) Fletch(er) made sure I knew what I was seeing too,” said Clement, who entered the game late in the third quarter and drove the Demons to a touchdown on that“Theydrive.really helped me execute tonight.

Following a Callum Eddings punt that was downed at the 1, the Demons went three and out. A short punt gave the Cowboys the ball at the NSU 24, and three plays later, Josh Parker’s 3-yard run started a 21-point second-quarter avalanche that put the Cowboys ahead to stay.

HOUSTON – Nearly a month ago, the Northwestern State football team had the chance to close out a road win and came up short. Given a second chance Saturday night, the Demons finished the job. Zachary Clement’s 2-yard touchdown run with 7:17 remaining capped a back-and-forth fourth quarter as Northwestern State outlasted Houston Baptist, 21-17, in Southland Confer ence play at Husky Stadium.

“We had the same scenario at Alcorn,” fourth-year head coach Brad Laird said. “We score and get the momentum, and they score to take the lead back. Our guys, our sideline, never wa vered from their belief. We had to punt, but the defense got a turnover and the offense punched it in. The work our guys put in, they deserve this moment tonight.”

“Getting behind the eight-ball so quick, down 21-0, we were able to get a drive going at the end of the half,” fourth-year head coach Brad Laird said. “We didn’t have that many possessions offensively, especially in the first half. They scored five of their first six possessions, but I was proud of the guys who prepared the right way and continued to fight for 60 minutes.”

The freshman capped an 11-play, 70-yard drive with a 10-yard run that gave the Demons a 7-0 lead and marked the first time NSU put the initial points of the game on the board this fall. It appeared the momentum would stay affixed to the home sideline of Turpin Stadium in short succession.Twoplaysafter Clement’s rushing touchdown – his fifth in the past four games – Taron Jones fumbled after an eight-yard gain and Nathalohn Nanai pounced on the loose ball at the Lion 33-yard line.

“Sometimes things don’t go as you plan, and you saw the outcome,” said linebacker Jared Pedraza, who finished with a game-high 10 tackles. “(The overturned fumble) was bumming, because we thought we had it. We’re on the sidelines, in the chairs, thinking we have the ball, and they get it back and end up scoring. Things like that happen, and we have to stop them."

The score was one of four touchdowns Fletcher accounted for in his first start since Oct. 16. He added third-quarter touchdown passes of 35 yards to Kendrick Price Jr. and 6 yards to Robbie Williams III before capping NSU’s offensive day with a 3-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter.Fletcher finished the game 22-for-36 for 226 yards, two touchdowns and two intercep tions. The Demons found themselves down 35-7 at the half after Southeastern executed a two-minute drill for a touchdown for the second time in as many meetings with Northwestern State this fall. This time, Kelley ended a quick-strike, eight-play, 76-yard drive with a 9-yard touchdown pass to Anthony Spurlock with 4 seconds before halftime.

The Demons’ fast start they had been seeking, unfortunately, did not last against visiting ninth-ranked Southeastern as the Lions pulled away after a breakeven first quarter for a 51-14 Southland Conference victory at Turpin Stadium. “We knew we had to get off to a fast start,” fourth-year head coach Brad Laird said. “Defensively, we did, forcing them to punt on two of the first three drives. Then offensively, our second drive we go down and score. When you have the opportunity – I say against Southeast ern, but against any team in your conference – you have to sustain and finish drives.”

Forcing the Lions into third-and-long situations did not work well for the Demons, howev er, as SLU answered every challenge with one big play after another, setting the tone for a 56-28 Southland Conference victory at Strawberry Stadium.

The short-handed Demons (2-8, 2-5) surrendered 309 first-half passing yards to the Lions (8-2, 6-1), who tallied a pair of big-play touchdown passes from reigning Walter Payton Award winner Cole Kelley in the first 18 minutes of the game. Northwestern State moved the ball well early in the first half but did not dent the score board until quarterback Kaleb Fletcher, starting in place of injured Zachary Clement, capped a 10-play, 84-yard march with a 1-yard touchdown run at the 7:35 mark of the second quarter.

“I saw it was man coverage, and I knew I had to beat him with my speed,” Griffin said. “I trusted Zach would give me a great ball, and that’s what he did."

From there, the Purple Swarm settled in and lived up to its nickname. The Demons (2-7, 2-4) surrendered 160 yards in the final three quarters and recorded nine tackles for loss for 40 yards in the game.

Buoyed by the catch-and-run score up the far sideline, Griffin became the first Demon to post a 100-yard receiving game this year, finishing with five catches for a career-high 101 yards.

Kickoff

The Northwestern State football team could not have scripted a better way to send off its seniors Saturday night, producing its highest-scoring quarter of the season to cap a come-frombehind, 28-24 Southland Conference victory against Houston Baptist at Turpin Stadium.

“It was kind of the same script when we went down there,” said receiver Gavin Landry, who was one of 10 sixth-year seniors honored before the game. “We did it a little more through the air tonight. It’s crazy to go out like this – fighting, clawing, scratching. We said we were going to play for the seniors and play for the man next to us.”

“A lot of the stuff we watched on film was different,” said junior cornerback William Hoop er, whose fourth-quarter interception helped launch NSU’s 22-point, fourth-quarter barrage. “They had a totally different scheme this time. We had to take it into halftime and adjust. We decided to buckle down and play for the seniors.” NSU’s seniors played for themselves as well. With quarterback Zachary Clement’s status uncertain for the game, the Demon coaching staff decided to use Landry, a former high school quarterback, in short-yardage situations.

THIBODAUX – The Northwestern State football team went punch for punch with Nicholls for the first 27 minutes of Saturday’s Southland Conference matchup. The final three minutes of the first half, however, swung the momentum firmly toward the homestanding Colonels as Nicholls pulled away for a 42-21 victory at Manning Field at John L. Guidry“TheStadium.lastfew minutes of the first half and the first six, seven, eight minutes of the second half told the tale of the game,” fourth-year head coach Brad Laird said. “We weren’t able to get anything going, and they scored two (third-quarter) touchdowns to make it 42-14, and we couldn’tWithrebound.”thegame tied at 14, Devonta Jason hauled in a 13-yard touchdown pass from Lind sey Scott Jr. with 2:00 to play in the first half. Northwestern State (1-7, 1-4) went three-and-out offensively and got a field-flipping, 52-yard punt from Scotty Roblow, who averaged 49.5 yards per kick on six punts. The Colonels (4-4, 3-2) overcame that punt, covering 66 yards in six plays as Scott hit Dai’Jean Dixon Jr. for a 16-yard touchdown pass with 17 seconds to play in the half. Those late first-half touchdowns stunted the momentum the Demons built in the first 27 minutes.Making his first career road start, quarterback Zachary Clement accounted for three touchdowns – two in the second quarter.

NATCHITOCHES – Same result, a very different way of getting there.

Each of Clement’s second-quarter scores – a 3-yard rush and a beautifully thrown 67-yard touchdown pass on a wheel route to Jay Griffin IV – answered Nicholls’ first two scores.

The visiting Huskies (0-9, 0-6) looked poised to spoil Northwestern State’s Senior Day, zipping to a 17-0 first-quarter lead during which they outgained the Demons 186-1.

It paid dividends in the fourth quarter as Landry scored the first two rushing touchdowns of his Demon career, a journey that began as a walk-on in 2016. “Not knowing what our quarterback situation would be, we knew he had the ability in a goal-line situation,” said fourth-year NSU coach Brad Laird. “He took advantage of it, not only the two rushing touchdowns but the big catch and run to get us in position for the go-ahead touchdown.”

LAKE CHARLES – Appropriately enough, it was No. 1 who ended another longstanding Northwestern State drought involving McNeese. Sixth-year senior receiver Kendrick Price Jr. hauled in two touchdown catches in his final game, including the decisive 29-yarder in the fourth quarter, as the Demons emerged from Cowboy Stadium with a 24-20 Southland Conference victory – NSU’s first win in Lake Charles since 1988.“Last time we beat them it was Jazz (Ferguson’s winning touchdown catch), so that makes it special,” said Price, who finished his career with 11 touchdown catches, tied with Al Phillips for eighth in school history. “Quan Shorts texted me last night and said, ‘You’re going to score two touchdowns tomorrow. I can feel it.’ Crazy enough it happened. I haven’t scored two touchdowns in a game since 2019. “It was the 1 connection, I guess. It made it happen. It’s super special.” Price’s touchdown grabs bookended the scoring for Northwestern State (3-8, 3-5), which got the fast start it sought for much of the season. NSU entered Saturday’s game having scored 17 points in the first quarter in its first 10 games this season. The Demons needed 14:35 of game time to do that Saturday. Price started the scoring with a 7-yard grab that answered Deonta McMahon’s 39-yard touchdown run on McNeese’s opening drive. After Scotty Roblow’s 25-yard field goal broke the early 7-all tie, Zachary Clement and Jay Griffin IV connected on a 56-yard wheel route to build the lead to 17-7 with 35 seconds left in the first half. “We knew we have not been able to get out to a fast start the last couple of weeks,” fourth-year head coach Brad Laird said. “That was one of our keys to victory.

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.

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.

NFL Focused on NSU in the 1999 Draft

Demons in the NFL Draft

Legends of the AFL, Hennigan and Tolar

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).

There have been 36 Northwestern State players chosen in the NFL Draft, including 10 in the last 14 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 tackle Deon Simon was the latest Demon taken in the draft - selected in the 7th round by the New York Jets in 2015.

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).

Charlie Hennigan Charlie Tolar

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.

John Stephens Joe Delaney Marcus Spears Bobby Hebert

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.”

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, win ning 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.

Rookies of the Year

Demons with NFL Longevity

Along with winning the 1988 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year award, former NSU tailback John Stephens was awarded the first Gale Say ers 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.

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 draft, to Chicago. They were each the guests of honor for the “Irrelevant Week” celebration in Newport Beach, Calif., in June, making NSU the only program to have two “Mr. Irrelevants” in the 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.

Track and Football, a Demon Tradition

Jackie Smth Terrence McGee Mike Green

Demons on the SI Cover

Demon football

The Turtle, All-Pro Terrence McGee

Rookie Star, Veteran Style

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.

For musicians, it’s the cover of the Rolling Stone. For athletes, being a Sports Illustrated cover boy is the ultimate. Three Demon greats have been there. All-Pro Mark Duper was the subject for the Nov. 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. Prior to his second straight Super Bowl appearance, cornerback Jeremy Lane was part of the Seattle defensive backfield nicknamed the “Legion of Boom” that graced the Feb. 2, 2015, cover. 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.

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

Dating 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 Del aney, 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.

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).

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 team sings the song after each win.

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 Nor mal’s athletic teams. A $10 prize, donated by the athletic department, was on the line. Names suggested included the Gridiron Knights, Daredevils, Boosters, Sharks, Cannons, Deers, Muskateers, Invicibles, Ground Hogs, Royalists, Cyclops, BravesAWasps,Professors,Bloodhounds,CannonBalls,andRattlesnakes.committeetabbedtwo:andDemons.After a vote of the students, Aileen Ritter and Truett Scarborough split the $10 because each had suggested “Demons.”

College Football Trophies

The distinctive Northwestern State athletic logo was de signed in 1983 at new football coach Sam Goodwin’s request, in a collaboration between former kicker Dale Quickel, former defensive back J.P. Dunbar and former Miss Northwestern Cheryl Purcell, an art teacher. The outline of Louisiana was added in 1999 at the suggestion of Demon baseball coach John Cohen.

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.

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.

Whatever you do, when visiting the Demon locker room, watch where you walk. Don’t dare step on the white Demon head in the center of the room on the plush purple carpet. If you do, you risk the rath of the entire senior class.

The George Doherty Wing

In 116 seasons of intercollegiate football, 44 Northwestern players have earned first or second-team All-America honors. Offensive guard Walter “Cajun” Ledet, later a highly-suc cessful 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 Associ ation 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. Chief Caddo At 7 feet, 6-inches tall and 320 pounds, Chief Caddo is the biggest trophy in college football. The wooden Indian statue was 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 31-20-1 advantage in the series. In the 55 years of the Chief’s life, he’s spent 37 in Natchitoches. The two teams did not play each other from 1965-68, in 1973 and since 2019.

How we became the Demons

Demon dressing room etiquette

Retired jerseys

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.

Hundreds of players have worn the Purple and White in the nine decades of Northwest ern 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.

Spirit of Northwestern Marching Band

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.

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 commit tee. 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.”

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.

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 Schachter 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.

Demon football

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.”

He estab lished annual induction activities that remain in place nearly five de cades later, serving as director of the Hall for 19 years until his promotion to vice president in April 1990 forced him to step aside from the volunteer post. He helped guide Northwestern into three athletic conferences (Trans America, 1979; Gulf Star, 1983; Southland, 1987) and NCAA Di vision I status in 1977.

In his role as vice president, he oversees university operations in athletics, alumni and development, public and media relations and assists Presi dent Dr. Chris Maggio in governmental affairs activities. Many of those duties were his since the 1970s as he worked under six previous presi dents as Northwestern advanced from NAIA to NCAA College Division to NCAA Division I athletic status in 1977.

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 con vincing Tri-Star Productions to film the 1989 smash hit movie “Steel Mag nolias,” 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 nearly three decades later.Pierce is regarded as one of the most effective legislative liaisons for Louisiana’s higher education system. He has been also a master of cere monies and speaker who has enlivened hundreds of events since 1965. In addition to his administrative responsibilities, Pierce is a tenured 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.

A 1961 graduate of Northwestern, Pierce served as trainer/manager for the Demon football team during his college years, working closely with legendary coach Jack Clayton. After earning his journalism degree, Pierce went to work for the New Orleans Times Picayune, serving as a reporter and editor. He was named executive sports editor at the age of 24. In 1965, he chose to raise his two sons in Natchitoches and returned to NSU as sports information director.
