Northwestern State football players and coaches fan out across the Natchitoches area each March to honor the memory of a former Demon by performing community service and outreach on the annual "Chris Waddell Day" observance. On the sixth annual Waddell Day, Northwestern football team members visited eight local schools, the Natchitoches Nursing Home and the local Boys and Girls Club to pass along positive messages and encouragement, reflecting the impact that Waddell had on teammates and others on campus during his all-too-short time at NSU in 2003-04.

The NSU football team took part in its annual NSU Demons Football Blood Drive managed by LifeShares Blood Center of Alexandria in April. In five hours, the Demons donated 82 units of blood. One NSU senior knew he was making a life-saving donation. Senior defensive back Chad Bell (pictured right) from Shreveport-Southwood took part in the inaugural NSU football blood drive last spring, and has been a blood donor dating back to high school. His rare blood type was entered into a national data base, and it was found to match the needs for a critical care case in New Jersey. Bell's donation was a one in 309-milllion match, LifeShares officials said.

With just his second signing class in his head coaching career under his belt, Bradley Dale Peveto can boast about hauling in the No. 1 and No. 4 ranked signing classes in the FCS. His 2009 signing class ranked No. 1 by Rivals.com while the 2010 unit ranked fourth in the country. Pictured right are two true freshmen - wide receiver/return specialist Phillip Harvey and kicker John Shaughnessy. Shaughnessy led the Demons in scoring while Harvey topped the teams in kickoff returns and return yardage. Both will join several other signees from those two years to help lead the Demons to a successful 2010 campaign.

NSU Sports Information

Assistant AD/Sports Information Director

In charge of athletic media relations at his alma mater since January of 1989, Doug Ireland coordinates publicity efforts for Northwestern's 14 intercollegiate sports teams through local, regional and national media outlets in print, broadcast, television and the internet. He also serves in the volunteer role of chairman of the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame. Ireland assumed that post in April 1991. His 1992 Demon Football Media Guide won "Best in the Nation" in FCS Division from the College Sports Information Directors of America. A 1997 story on Joe Delaney, "The Guy We Called Joe D," won a national second-place award in a COSIDA writing contest. Ireland has won numerous awards as SID from the Louisiana Sports Writers Association. He was recently awarded the Distinguished American Award� by the S.M. McNaughton Chapter of the National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame. Several of his assistant SIDs and graduate assistants have advanced to prominence in media fields. Former NSU sports information staffers under Ireland include Bruce Ludlow, assistant commissioner of the Southland Conference for media relations; Bill Magrath, media relations manager for the Sports Business Daily; Mike Morrison, co-editor of the ESPN Information Please Almanac; Daucy Crizer, assistant AD and business manager at Lamar; Erik Cox, SID at Lamar; Dart Volz, former SID at Southeastern Louisiana; Melissa Reynaud, former assistant SID at LSU; Kenny Lannou, SID at Kansas State; and Troy Mitchell, SID at Henderson State. Dustin Eubanks, NSU's director of NCAA compliance, worked in the NSU SID office as a graduate assistant and for two years as the fulltime assistant. And Adam Jonson, NSU’s ticket manager, was a student and graduate assistant in the SID office. In 1981-82, while an undergraduate at Northwestern, Ireland worked as chief of the Shreveport Times Natchitoches Bureau, coordinating news coverage of an eight-parish region along the Red River. From 1982-85, he was assistant SID at Southwestern Louisiana, working with a men's basketball program that made three straight postseason tournament appearances. He won CoSIDA publications and writing awards while at USL. Ireland was the sports editor of the Natchitoches Times in 1985-86 and attended graduate school at Northeast Louisiana before joining the Alexandria Town Talk sports staff in 1987. In 18 months at the Town Talk, he covered both NSU and LSU sports and won 15 writing awards from the Louisiana Sports Writers' Association. In 2001, the LSWA presented its prestigious Mac Russo Award to Ireland for his contributions to the organization. In 1999, Ireland was awarded honorary membership in the Graduate N Club at NSU by the university's group of athletic lettermen for his service to Northwestern and its athletic program, and in 2003 he was given full membership. He was appointed by President Dr. Randall Webb to serve a two-year term on the inaugural University Planning Council in 1997-99. A member of the Blue Key National Honor Fraternity and a student government senator while completing a journalism degree from Northwestern, Ireland was editor of the student newspaper "Current Sauce" as a sophomore before going to work for the Shreveport Times. He was an all-district baseball player and the student body president at Jonesboro-Hodge High School, where he was a wingback for the Tigers' 1977 Class AA state football finalists coached by Don Shows.

Associate Sports Information Director

Matthew Bonnette is beginning his eighth season as a member of the NSU sports information staff. Bonnette joined the staff in August 2003 after spending a year as sports information director at Henderson State (Ark.) and for former NSU legendary coach Sam Goodwin. Bonnette surpervises all layouts and design work for all media guides and game programs and is the primary media contact for the NSU baseball, women’s basketball and volleyball teams. A 2002 graduate of McNeese State University, Bonnette is no stranger to the SID field as he is the son of longtime McNeese SID Louis Bonnette, who is a member of the CoSIDA Hall of Fame, Southland Conference Hall of Honor, Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame, and the McNeese State Athletic Hall of Fame. Matthew's older brother, Michael, is the sports information director at LSU. While at McNeese, Bonnette served two years as the sports editor of the school’s newspaper. He also worked as both a volunteer and student sports information director while being employed at KPLC-TV as the commercial production manager where he won several advertising awards for his work. He is a member of CoSIDA, Louisiana Sports Writers Association, National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association, and the United State Basketball Wristers Association. He has been a member of the CoSIDA Academic All-America Committee the last two years and directed the voting for the All-Louisiana Women’s Basketball and Baseball teams. His 2009 football media guide placed first in its division in the LSWA sports information directors contest while his baseball media guide placed second in its respective division. He has won eight awards by the LSWA in his career. He is married to the former Colene Lanier of Lake Charles and the couple has two daughters, 10-year-old Haley, who is a fifth grader, and Katelyn, who is in the first grade and will turn seven in November.

Northwestern returns 55 letterwinners in 2010, with 30 on defense despite having to replace eight graduated starters.

2010 Season Outlook

Super sophomore quarterback Paul Harris will be counted on to ignite the “Purple Strike” offense.

the last two seasons), rugged nose tackle Dennis “Tank” Clark (4 tackles for loss, 17 total last year as a backup), hard-hitting middle linebacker Derek Rose (18 tackles as a reserve last year), and veteran cornerbacks Jeremy Lane (62 tackles, 9 pass breakups in two seasons) and Cashas Pollard (38 tackles, 5 PBU in two years). Seven offensive starters are back, including six offensive linemen with extensive starting experience from 2009 and before, providing a strong foundation for the Purple Strike multiple attack designed by offensive coordinator Todd Cooley. NSU used three quarterbacks, two new to the program, last season. An injury ended senior John Hundley's season in early October. Junior transfer Tyler Wolfe played gallantly with an injured shoulder all year but is now back to the level that made him one of the South's more highly sought-after prospects as a prep senior. Wolfe threw 14

for 307 yards and 3 touchdowns in his first action and only full game for the Demons against North Dakota. The returning starter this fall is true sophomore left-hander Paul Harris, whose run-pass combination gave foes fits much of the last half of the year (1,515 total yards, 4 rushing TDs, 5 passing TDs in the last six games - 273.3 total yards pg while starting the final four games of the season). Preseason All-America offensive guard Michael Booker and preseason All-Southland second-team pick Zach Case lead an experienced offensive front. Larry Calcote, Jesse Hernandez, Destry Hesskew, and Jace Prescott were starters as freshmen. At tight end, playmaking Justin Aldredge (25 catches, 328 yards, 4 TDs) is back after scoring both receiving and rushing TDs last year. Out wide, Cooley is counting on a horde of receivers led by 6-7 Adrian Reese (17-289, 2 TD, 17.0 ypc) and speedy Bradley Brown (27-356, 2 TD, 13.2 ypc), a preseason All-Southland

kick returner (22.2 avg. on 26 returns). In the backfield, junior Sterling Endsley was lost for the season before September last year with an injury after he had won the starting tailback's job, and he's back at 100 percent this year. Both kicking specialists return, sophomore placekicker John Shaughnessy and senior punter Bradley Russo. Brown and Phillip Harvey (21.6 avg. on 30 kickoff returns) give the Wild Demons special teams an explosive return game.

The Purple Swarm defense returns 30 letterwinners from last year’s squad.

Demon Coaching Staff

Former Demons believe in Coach Peve In their days playing for Southland Conference championship football teams at Northwestern a decade ago, Rob Robertson and Brian Whaley used to enjoy listening to pregame and halftime motivational talks by assistant coach Bradley Dale Peveto. They had to sneak into those meetings. Peveto was the Demons' defensive coordinator from 1996-98 under venerable head coach Sam Goodwin. Robertson, a fullback, and Whaley, a lineman, played on offense. They weren't invited to the defensive meetings. But they had to sneak in whenever possible. “We had some great coaches here, and we all loved Coach Goodwin,” said Whaley. “But the way Coach Peve could reach out and inspire each and every one of us was something special.” “One thing is for sure,” said Robertson. “He will get the maximum potential out of his players.” Peveto, 47, was named the Demons' new head football coach just before Christmas 2009. He came from LSU, where he was the linebackers coach from 200508, including the 2007 Tigers' team that won the BCS National Championship with a Sugar Bowl win over Ohio State. He was introduced on campus Dec. 22 in a rousing press conference attended by about 250 friends and NSU supporters, then returned to finish his coaching duties at LSU as co-defensive coordinator by helping the Tigers win the Chick-Fil-A Bowl over 14th-ranked Georgia Tech in dominating fashion on New Year's Eve. His decision to pursue and ultimately accept the Northwestern head coaching position raised some eyebrows. Skeptics wondered why a coach would step out of the high-profile, big dollar world of the Southeastern Conference to become a head coach at a smaller Division I state university. Part of the reason, said Peveto, was ambition. His late father was a legendary high school head coach in Orangefield, Texas, 10 miles west of the Louisiana border, and 15 miles east of Beaumont. Bradley Dale started as a ballboy for his dad's team, hanging out in the field house and riding the “old yellow dog,” as they called the team bus, to games with his father. Two of his three brothers, Jeff and Garey Birt, have been high school coaches in southeast Texas. To say their father had a strong influence is understating the situation. Peveto was an assistant coach for 21 seasons on the college level, beginning at Trinity Valley Community College. He's also worked at Southern Mississippi, Arkansas, Houston and Middle Tennessee before 42

coaching and winning four bowl games at LSU. When the Northwestern job opened after last season, it tugged at Peveto's heart. If he was ever going to be a head coach, it was time to take that step. A year earlier, he had been a prime candidate for the head job at his alma mater, From 1996-98, Peveto ran a defense that produced six All-SLC first team players, including the 1997 SMU, but (Tony Joe Maranto) and 1998 (Jermaine Jones) Hawaii coach league Defensive Players of the Year. June Jones got the nod after leading the Rainbows to the Sugar Bowl. The allure of returning to Northwestern and Natchitoches was very strong for Peveto and his wife, Melissa, who treasured their previous stay. “I'm glad to be back home. There's a lot of jobs out there, but where do you want to live? I love Louisiana. I love Natchitoches. Is there a better job in the country? I don't think so.” A reporter from Peveto's hometown newspaper interviewed him before the 2007 Sugar Bowl, at Media Day for the national championship game. He asked an obvious question: is this the highlight of your coaching career? Remarkably, it wasn't, and still isn't. As fantastic as that experience was, and as much as Peveto enjoyed his four seasons at LSU, he maintains his favorite coaching memory is the 1997 season with the Demons. “That team came through so much, not just developing into a championship team when we were 2-3 and just thoroughly whipped at McNeese in the middle of our season,” he recalled. “Coach Goodwin did such an amazing job of being positive and confident in the days after that game and we all fed off of him. We didn't lose another game, and they tore the goalposts down in Turpin Stadium and carried them downtown after we beat Stephen F. Austin to win the conference championship. “That was great, but what that team dealt with out-

Demon Coaching Staff side of football, I've never been around a closer group. We had an offensive lineman, Jay Olive, and he and his wife lost their little baby son to crib death during preseason camp. We had another player whose family's home burned down. We had other family tragedies. We had some heartbreaking injuries and we had guys who just had to gut it out and get us through,” he said. “You talk about triumph, that was a season when we had a triumph of will,” he said. “Winning that national championship at LSU, you bet it was special and I'm so very proud of those players and being part of that team. What a great thrill. But what our team accomplished, considering all of the circumstances, here in 1997 is without a doubt my greatest thrill in coaching.” Those who have played for, and worked with, Peveto attest to his magnetism and seemingly boundless enthusiasm, along with a tireless work ethic. Goodwin recalls routinely getting to the office before sunrise and finding Peveto already on his second or third cup of coffee. While making his recruiting visit to the campus, Whaley remembers being taken with Peveto's energy. “He had charisma and a passion for NSU football which was very obvious,” said Whaley. “It was later on, in spring conditioning drills at 5 in the morning, that I realized he was as intense at 5 a.m. workouts as he was at a 6 p.m. recruiting dinner.” “I only wish I would have had the chance to play for him longer,” said Mike Stone, a defensive back during Peveto's three years with the Demons. “He is the most passionate coach that I have ever played for, both in his approach to the game and his passion for his players,” said Lanny Lawrence, a linebacker for Peveto with the Demons. “Coach Peveto always had a way of instilling pride in what we were trying to accomplish as a unit and no one wanted to be the weakest link in that endeavor.” At LSU, he quickly developed a national reputation as an outstanding recruiter while Tigers players aided his cause as they told prospects how much they would enjoy playing for Peveto. “He's a very exciting coach to play for. He gets you up,” said LSU senior linebacker Darry Beckwith. “He's just a hilarious guy, and he makes it fun. He's also a guy who can count on and go talk to. He'll make a great head coach.” LSU linebacker Kelvin Sheppard recalled Peveto getting his ankles taped alongside the players before a huge November game against No. 1-ranked Alabama. “It was great. It got everybody fired up, and it worked,” said Sheppard. “It was one of our better games. Coach Peve was the kind of coach you would Great Tradition • Brighter Future

In his previous stint at NSU (1996-98), Peveto helped lead the Demons to 25 wins and back-to-back SLC Championships in 1997 and 1998.

dream of having.” “The thing that always stuck out in my mind about Bradley Dale is that what he took to the field as a coach was exactly the kind of intensity you want your players to bring,” said Goodwin. “They see him working that hard and caring that much and that affects them. He relates as well to kids as any coach I've ever been around, and they'll fight tooth and nail for him because he's such a good motivator.”

Bradley Dale Peveto Head Coach SMU, 1986 • 5th Season at NSU • 2nd since 1998 He's a captain of enthusiasm. He's a human energy burst. He's a passionate leader. He's a documented coaching whiz on defense and special teams. He's all in, for the long haul. And he's going to do it the right way. Those qualities have all been evident from the time Bradley Dale Peveto strode to the podium in front of 250 people on Dec. 22, 2008 to shake the hand of Northwestern State director of athletics Greg Burke before making his first remarks as the Demons' head football coach. He's known as “Coach Peve” to many - “Big Daddy Peve” to others - and is a fast-bonding friend to anyone who crosses his path. A pair of Texas couples visiting Natchitoches this summer encountered him at lunch in a local restaurant. They came away feeling they had met the local Chamber of Commerce president, so detailed and effusive were his tips on places to visit, things to do and dining recommendations. That personality has contributed to a long-recognized knack for recruiting. It's been borne out at NSU both with players and coaches. The Demons' 2009 signing class, put together in six weeks after Peveto was hired, was ranked No. 1 in FCS by Rivals.com experts. The 2010 class was rated No. 4 nationally among FCS schools in the Rivals.com rankings the day after National Signing Day. Looking through his coaching staff, Peveto has blended highly-accomplished NSU assistants with top-quality newcomers to Natchitoches such as former Nicholls head coach Jay Thomas and former Central Arkansas offensive coordinator Todd Cooley. His staff has followed his lead and has become very active and visible in the community and with NSU alumni and supporters. Peveto is a former LSU co-defensive coordinator whose highly-successful 22-year college football coaching career includes the Tigers' 2007 BCS national championship and Northwestern State's FCS semifinal playoff season of 1998. Peveto (pronounced PEA-vit-toe) completed his duties as co-defensive coordinator and linebackers coach at LSU when the Tigers dominated Georgia Tech in the 2009 Chick-Fil-A Bowl in Atlanta. LSU's defense shackled the nation's No. 1 rushing offense in a 38-3 rout. Peveto is the 13th head coach in the 102-year history of intercollegiate football at Northwestern. He was defensive coordinator for the Demons from 1996-98 under the school's Coach Peveto with his wife, Melissa, son Jacob Edward, and daughter Peyton Marie. winningest head coach, Sam Goodwin. 44

Northwestern won the Southland Conference championship and reached the FCS playoffs in 1997 and 1998, going 12-2 in the SLC and 19-7 overall in those seasons. The 1998 team, outright SLC champions, finished with a No. 3 national ranking after reaching No. 2 at the outset of the national playoffs, hosting three postseason games in Turpin Stadium before a fourth-quarter rally by eventual national champion Massachusetts halted the 11-3 Demons in a semifinal game. The 1997 Demons shared the SLC title by winning six straight games after a 2-3 start, capping the run with a stirring 38-21 homefield triumph over rival Stephen F. Austin, denying the Lumberjacks a cochampionship and a postseason berth. Peveto has also been defensive coordinator at Middle Tennessee State and Houston, where he was also assistant head coach in 2002. He has also been part of coaching staffs at Arkansas, Southern Mississippi, Stephen F. Austin and Trinity Valley Community College. The Orangefield, Texas, native played in four bowl games from 1982-86 at SMU, where he was a safety, special teams star and team captain while the Mustangs went 43-14. With Peveto on the sidelines as cocoordinator and linebackers coach in 2008, LSU's defense ranked 17th in the nation in rushing defense (110 ypg) and 32nd in total defense (326 ypg). In his three previous years with LSU, Peveto held a dual role, serving as the special teams coordinator and coaching the Tiger linebackers. As linebackers coach, Peveto's development of players at that position was critical to the success of the Tiger defense that ranked among the top five in the nation in 2005-07. In 2007, line-

Demon Coaching Staff backer Ali Highsmith earned first-team All-America honors from CBSsports.com, while also being named a second-team All-American by the Associated Press. Highsmith earned first-team All-SEC honors in 2006, while junior Darry Beckwith was a second-team All-SEC pick. As LSU's special teams coordinator, Peveto had both his punter (Patrick Fisher) and placekicker (Colt David) earn first-team All-SEC honors in 2007. It marked the first time in school history that LSU had the All-SEC punter and kicker on its roster in the same season. Fisher averaged a league-best 44.5 yards per punt in 2007, while David kicked a school-record 26 field goals and led the SEC in scoring with a league record 147 total points. In his three years as LSU's special teams coordinator, the Tigers returned two punts for touchdowns and a pair of kickoffs for a score. They also blocked six kicks, converted 49-of-71 field goals and 165-of-167 extra points. In 2005, Peveto's impact was immediate as the Tigers fielded some of the

46

best special teams units in the country. LSU ranked first in the SEC and fifth in the nation in net punting (39.0 average). The Tigers were also first in the conference in kickoff coverage (45.5 net average) and second in the league and 12th nationally in punt return average (14.1). LSU's field goal and pointafter-touchdown units were also much improved as the Tigers converted 45of-46 PATs in 2005 and connected on 14-of-24 field goals. In his three years as defensive coordinator at Northwestern, Peveto's defense quickly earned the nickname "Purple Swarm" and coined the phrase "Swarm, Baby, Swarm" for his attacking defensive style, which had NSU ranked nationally in several statistical categories during each of his three seasons. Four of his players earned AllAmerica honors. In addition, four Demon players were selected in the NFL draft, three after the 1998 season, including current Washington Redskins safety Mike Green. Under his direction, the Demon defense also set single-game records

www.nsudemons.com SLC Champions - 1988 • 1997 • 1998 • 2004

for fewest yards allowed, fewest rushing yards allowed, and most quarterback sacks. NSU also set school season records for most defensive touchdowns scored. In addition, the "Purple Swarm" also set season records for quarterback sacks in two of his three seasons, accumulating 52 in 1998 and 122 in the last three years. Peveto comes from a family with a rich football coaching tradition. His late father, Ed, coached high school football in the southeast Texas area and was inducted into the Greater Houston Coaches Hall of Honor in 1993 and into the Golden Triangle Coaches Hall of Fame in 1997. Two of his brothers, Jeff and Garey Birt, have coached at high schools in the southeast Texas area. Peveto is married to the former Melissa Weser, and the couple has a daughter, Payton Marie (7), and a son, Jacob Edward (4).

Todd Cooley Assistant Head Coach-Offense • Offensive Coordinator • QBs Arkansas Tech, 1998 • 2nd Season at NSU Other Duties: Coordinator for community service projects; Chris Waddell Day coordinator Recruiting Areas: North Louisiana, north Mississippi, Mississippi junior colleges Coaching Experience: Developed true freshman QB Paul Harris into 2010 Preseason AllSLC second-team selection during challenging 2009 debut at NSU. Injuries sidelining veteran players, and high number of first-year players and true freshmen getting on the field, resulted in Cooley moving from the press box to the sideline midway through the year, and offensive upswing resulted. Cooley's explosive offenses at Central Arkansas lit up scoreboards around the Southland Conference in 2007-08 and during his four seasons with the Bears as offensive coordinator and quarterback coach. In that time (2005-08), UCA posted an overall 35-13 record, including an 11-3 SLC mark in the Bears' first two years (2007-08) as an NCAA Division I FCS member alongside Northwestern. In 2008, Cooley's offense at UCA scored 40 points or more in seven of 12 games. The Bears had six receivers make 23 or more catches, four with 35 or more receptions. In 2007-08, Cooley's offense averaged 445 yards and 35.4 points per game. In his last season at UCA, the Bears went 10-2, 6-1 in the SLC, led the conference with a 37.5 scoring average and a 48 percent third-down conversion rate. In 2007-08, the Bears threw for 57 touchdowns and completed 68 percent of their 804 passes with only 14 interceptions -- just four in 400 pass attempts in 2008. UCA ran for 47 touchdowns and 4.2 yards per carry in his last two years. In their first two seasons of fullfledged Division I competition in 2007-08, the Bears averaged 287 passing yards and 157 on the ground while making only 32 turnovers in 23 games. Cooley helped his alma mater, Arkansas Tech, and UCA to reach the NCAA Division II playoffs in back-to-back seasons in 2004-05. He spent one season at Arkansas Tech, and in 2004 he restructured the Wonder Boys offense from a unit averaging 18.4 points per game in 2003 to a squad that averaged 32.2 per game. Arkansas Tech went 10-2 and became the first Arkansas school to host and win a Division II playoff game. He was hired at UCA the following February and promptly helped the Bears win the 2005 Gulf States Conference championship and they went on to reach the Division II playoff quarterfinals. Cooley was also quarterbacks coach from 2001-03 at Ouachita Baptist, quarterbacks and receivers coach in 2000 at Northeastern Oklahoma for a Lone Star Conference championship team that reached the Division II playoffs, and running backs coach in 1998-99 at Arkansas Tech, helping the Wonder Boys win the 1999 Gulf South Conference title. At UCA, he coached record-shattering quarterback Nathan Brown, the 2008 SLC Player of the Year and the 2007 SLC Offensive Player of the Year. Brown was invited to play in the 2009 Senior Bowl, and is now coaching at UCA. He also coached a record-setting passer at Arkansas Tech in 2004, an All-Lone Star Conference quarterback in 2000 at Northeast Oklahoma and the 1999 Gulf South Conference Offensive Player of the Year at Arkansas Tech. Playing Experience: Cooley set 13 school records at quarterback for Arkansas Tech in 1996-97 and was a finalist for the 1997 Harlon Hill Trophy presented to the outstanding player in NCAA Division II. He was also Academic All-GSC in 1997. Cooley made the Daktronics All-Region Team in 1997. At Nashville (Ark.) High School, he was an all-state passer for coach Billy Laird, father of Demons co-defensive coordinator Brad Laird. In 1993, Cooley's senior year, the Scrappers became the first NHS team to reach the state championship game as Cooley broke state singleseason passing record by throwing for over 2,300 yards.

Brad Laird Associate Head Coach • Defensive Coordinator • Safeties Northwestern State, 1998 • 7th Season at NSU, 3rd since 2005 Recruiting Areas: Shreveport and Northeast Texas Other Duties: Academics liaison, Compliance liaison, golf tournament coordinator. Coaching Experience: Laird has been promoted to associate head coach by coach Bradley Dale Peveto. He moved to coach safeties in 2009 after handling linebackers previously. Laird was the interim head coach after the 2008 season and was a finalist for the head coaching position before Peveto's hiring. Laird returned to Scott Stoker's NSU staff after the 2007 season to the defensive coordinator/linebackers coaching post which he held from 2003-05 including NSU's 2004 Southland Conference championship season. In 2008, Laird's Purple Swarm defense held five of the nation's top 14 offenses, including four of the top six, below their season's averages. Against four SLC teams in the top 14 (three in the top six nationally), Northwestern limited McNeese, Texas State and Sam Houston State (Nos. 4-6) and Stephen F. Austin (No. 14) to an average of 74 yards below their normal output. Laird left the Demons following the 2005 season to enter private business, then returned to coaching in July 2007 as linebackers coach at NSU's conference rival, Stephen F. Austin, working at SFA for one season. Under Laird, the Demons from 2003-2005 ranked second (2004, 274.7 yards allowed per game) and ninth (2003, 287.3 ypg allowed) nationally in total defense among all Football Championship Subdivision teams. After a record-setting playing career at NSU, Laird coached on coach Sam Goodwin's Demon staff in 1996, serving as the defensive graduate assistant coach working for Bradley Dale 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. He begins his 11th season in coaching. While running NSU's Purple Swarm defense from 2003-05, Laird's units produced 75 turnovers in three seasons and set three NCAA records while leading the Southland Conference in total defense and rushing defense while also ranking highly in the national rankings in pass defense. 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. Playing Experience: Laird was a record-setting quarterback for the Demons in his playing days. Laird set the NSU career pass yardage record by throwing for 6,037 yards from 1991-95, a mark he retains, and he also holds a school record with 113 consecutive passes without an interception. He tops the Demons' all-time lists in completions (438) and attempts (761) with a 57.1 career completion rate and 19 touchdowns. In his senior season, 1995, he posted the third-best single-season passing total, 1,895 yards. He led Northwestern in passing all four years he played, including his true freshman season in 1992.

Jeremy Offutt Offensive Line Oklahoma State, 1998 • 5th Season at NSU Other Duties: NSU Camp coordinator; graduate assistant coordinator Recruits: East Texas south of I-20 Coaching Experience: Offutt's offensive lines from 2006-08 paved the way for Byron Lawrence to become the Demons' No. 2 all-time leading rusher with over 3,300 yards. Offutt's ability to quickly teach and mentor players has been proven over and over - with the rapid development of neophyte offensive tackle Demetrius Bell, now a starting left tackle for the Buffalo Bills, and in Offutt's ability to hustle new faces into the lineup. In the last two seasons, injuries forced Offutt to use six first-year players as starters, including five who were learning the offense in their first seasons. In 2008, Zach Case and Jesse Hernandez became the first true freshmen offensive linemen to start for NSU since 1998. Last year, Larry Calcote and converted defensive lineman Destry Hesskew also started as true freshmen. Only a total of eight true freshmen linemen have started for the Demons since 1985. Offutt joined the Demons in the summer of 2006, taking over perhaps the youngest offensive line group in school history. While bringing that group along in preseason, he also took charge of Bell, who had never played offensive line before, and within three weeks, Offutt had Bell playing effectively as a starter in the season opener at Kansas. The opening two games in 2006 vs. Big XII Conference foes were familiar territory for Offutt, who spent the 2004 and 2005 seasons as a graduate assistant at his alma mater, working in 2004 under current LSU head coach Les Miles, who strongly recommended to Peveto that he retain Offutt at NSU. He worked with the Oklahoma State offensive line for two years before being named coordinator of football operations for Coach Mike Gundy's program in January 2006. He helped coach an Oklahoma State offense that in 2004 reached the Alamo Bowl and ranked in the top 15 nationally in scoring (15th, 34.5 points per game), rushing (9th, 245 yards per game) and pass efficiency (9th, 156.9 rating) while leading the Big XII Conference in red zone offense with a scoring rate of 93.3 percent. Offutt worked with the interior offensive linemen in 2004 and tackles in 2005. In 2004, one of his players earned All-America honors and a year later, one of his tackles was an All-Big XII selection. He was responsible for all aspects of the offensive scouting report and organizing the offensive game plan at the direction of the offensive coordinator. Offutt recruited all states west of the Mississippi River for OSU, excluding Texas and Oklahoma. Playing Experience: A two-time All-Big XII Conference selection as a center (1997, 1998), Offutt was a four-year starter and a co-captain for the 1998 Cowboys. Offutt won the Captains Award for leadership, the Stallion Award for consistent performance, the Hang Tough Award for fighting through injury and adversity, and the Lifter of the Year award during his OSU career. He was ranked among the top 10 center prospects for the 1999 NFL Draft, signing with Detroit. He played in the Senior Bowl, the East/West Shrine Game and the Blue/Gray Classic. Offutt started two years at center, one at guard and one at tackle. He helped OSU reach the 1997 Alamo Bowl. Personal: 34 years old, born Oct. 28, 1975. He and his wife, April, have two daughters, Brynn (12) and Reese (5). Offutt graduated from Oklahoma State with a sociology degree in 2004. Prior to returning to the Oklahoma State program as a coach, he was information technology director for the city of Paris, Texas. Jeremy Offutt with his wife, April, and daughters, Reese and Brynn.

Bill Johnson • Super Bowl Champion

Former Demon assistant helps Saints win Super Bowl XLIV title His career as a football coach wasn't his idea. One of his players at Northwestern prodded him into asking out the sorority girl who became his wife. And yes, although he saw the logic from a perspective only a few dozen people shared, he thought it was crazy to try an onside kick to open the second half of Super Bowl XLIV. Crazy enough that it might just work. Those forks in the road all led to fortune shining on the man known during his days at Northwestern as Smilin' Bill Johnson, NSU class of 1980. Getting into the doghouse shortly after his playing career ended with the Demons drew the ire of then-NSU assistant coaches Al Miller and Joe Raymond Peace. Their tongue-lashing started Johnson on a path that carried him to the sidelines at Super Bowl XLIV as the defensive line coach for the New Orleans Saints. We all know how that ended. “It's an unbelievable story,” said Johnson, who could have been referring to his personal road or the Saints' ascension to Super Bowl Champions in his first year with the team. “Ole Rudy ain't got nothin' on ole Johnson.” The tale traces all the way back to his days even before he played football for Northwestern as a hard-nosed center from 1975-78. A coach at Monroe's Lee Junior High asked the strongarmed, curly-haired kid sitting on a heater in the hallway why he didn't play football, and “I ain't stopped since,” grinned Johnson. Raised by a single mother, he found a father figure in legendary Neville High football coach Charlie Brown, who later asked Johnson to make the presentation speech for Brown's 2001 enshrinement in the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame. But first, Brown helped nurture Johnson's football career to the point that he found his way onto the NSU campus to try to play college ball. He made the most of it, earning a scholarship along with four letters as a deep snapper and the starting center for two seasons under coach A.L. Williams. Heading toward graduation in spring 1979, he figured he'd go back to Monroe and get a job working in a paper mill, until he and Demon teammate Petey Perot got into “a skirmish” while out one night. They were called in by Peace, the offensive line coach, and Miller, the linebackers coach whose innovative strength training concepts soon afterward carried him into the NFL ranks and made him a trailblazer in that field. Sitting in Peace's office in Prather Coliseum, seeing his coach peering over a metal desk with steely eyes, was not a comfortable posture. “They were ripping us pretty good, and to make matters worse, I'd made a D in a class. I made pretty decent grades, but this was a D,” said Johnson. “Coach Peace got onto me 58

about that and asked what I was going to do after I graduated, if I graduated. When I told him I figured I'd go home and get a paper mill job, he about popped. “He looked at me and said, 'You're gonna coach football, that's what. You're going to help me here next year. That's what you're cut out to do, can't you see that?',” recalled Johnson. “Those coaches steered me in the right direction. So many times, never more so than right there, I've had angels come down and help me along.” Johnson began working with the offensive linemen, but when Sam Goodwin took over as head coach, was shifted to coaching defensive linemen as a graduate assistant. That put him in charge of a caustic Cajun defensive tackle, Ed Orgeron, who was also destined for a coaching career and a reputation as one of college football's premiere recruiters. For Johnson, Orgeron's eye for talent manifested when the player told his coach about a Tri Sigma girl he knew in trainer Eugene Christmas' class, and Orgeron thought Dawn Doherty would be a great match for Johnson. “Ed went to a sorority party and came back and said I ought to meet her. Doc Christmas told me, 'she's just a sweet girl, you ought to meet her.' Well, I'm almost seven years older than her. I wasn't going to date a student. But she was from Winnfield, and she was around on Thanksgiving week, and we took a ride and ate dinner, and we hit it off. Twenty six-plus years later, it's like a dream. We got engaged at Christmas and got married that next summer. When you know it's right, it's right,” he said, beaming. “She's been strong enough to hang with me and every time we've left someplace, it seems she's the one that left a mark. So there's another time an angel was taking care of this www.nsudemons.com

Demon.” They have two kids, Billy and Abby, both students at the University of Georgia, rooted in that area because the family spent six years in Atlanta when Johnson broke into the NFL as defensive line coach for coach Dan Reeves and the Falcons in 2001. He weathered a head coaching change to Jim Mora Jr., but another shift led him to Mike Shanahan's staff in Denver for two years (2007-08). After Shanahan's surprising dismissal, last winter he was about to choose a job in Green Bay over working back in his home state for the Saints. “You'd look at that and think I had a chance to come home, but I loved the idea of coaching in Green Bay. I went up there and had a great visit. Then I visited with (Saints head coach) Sean Payton, they had (quarterback) Drew Brees, and (defensive coordinator) Greg Williams was probably coming on board. “I thought it was all lined up right as far as winning in New Orleans, so I made a football decision, not a coming home decision,” he said. “I felt good about it, but it turned out to be a dream come true, an emotional ride.” Coming home had its definite perks, like opportunities to reunite with former Demon teammates and NSU friends like Perot (now coaching at Louisiana Tech), quarterback Butch Ballard (a Bogalusa native and frequent visitor to NSU and south Louisiana) and the effusive Bobby Hebert, the NSU and Saints star quarterback now in a role as the lightning rod of sports broadcasting in New Orleans and on the Saints Radio Network. It didn't take long for Johnson to sense something special was within reach. During last April's offseason training activities involving the team, “I saw what we had and I was really excited,” he said. “We won the Super Bowl in April, May, June, Great Tradition • Brighter Future

Bill Johnson • Super Bowl Champion

July and August. You could feel the chemistry on the team, and the work ethic was tremendous. People were having fun getting a lot done.” In his 29th season of coaching, 21 in college at stops such as Miami, Texas A&M and Arkansas, Johnson knew a good thing when he saw it. He was a graduate assistant coaching linebackers when the Jimmy Johnson-coached Miami Hurricanes won the 1987 major college national championship. The 2009 Saints exploded on what was, for them, an unprecedented run, staying undefeated through their first 13 (of 16) regular-season games. “It was the biggest grind I can ever remember, from 8-0 to 13-0, trying to protect that win streak,” he said. “We were getting real beat up. The players were drained. But it still took a real good team to knock us off our perch, and Dallas did it.” Even though the team entered the playoffs having lost three straight, Johnson was confident. A month later, he was standing on the sideline in Miami as Carrie Underwood sang the national anthem with fighter jets flying past just before kickoff of the Super Bowl. “I was never a pro football fan until I got into it myself, but I knew the New Orleans Saints had a lot of years when they weren't even competitive. I'm taking in that scene, the game is about to start, and I just felt something special was going to happen, I really did,” he said. That began to unfold when the Saints went into the lockerroom at halftime having closed an early 10-0 deficit to a 14-10 gap, but about to kick off to the potent Indianapolis Colts offense led by superstar quarterback Peyton Manning. “Sean said to the coaches, 'it's a low possession game, and down four points about to Great Tradition • Brighter Future

give the ball to Peyton Manning to start the second half, we've got to steal one. What about trying the onside kick here?' Now that'll raise your eyebrows. But if they take the ball and score a touchdown, we're down 11, two scores, and it's a big hill to climb because it's tough to stop Peyton. “We had seen something in film study we thought would open up for us, and worked the onside kick for two weeks going in. Our kickoff guy, Thomas Morstead, was a rookie from SMU and he was doing a nice job in practice. Well, the word spreads through the locker room that we're going to do it, and they found him in the back throwing up. He had never tried one in a game before. “So we go out for the second half, and we all know what's coming. Nobody else does. I put on my best poker face, looked around the stadium, and thought, these people ain't going to believe this. I was standing right where the kick needed to end up. It took the officials almost four minutes to decide who had the ball. It was a great play by our guys, a great coaching decision by Sean, because it created a complete change in the game. It was high risk, high reward. We drove the ball and scored, and the game turned our way,” he said. “It was so numbing, the feeling after the game. Think of a balloon blown up full, and then you let the air out. The season was the balloon, gradually filling up to the brim at the Super Bowl. Your emotion and intensity is at a fever pitch, and then when we stopped them with 44 seconds to go, we knew we could run out the clock. I thought back to Lee Junior High, Neville High, Northwestern, coaching for nine years at Texas A&M, all through the years,” said Johnson. “They say it flashes through your mind, and it did. It was a little tough to get your arms around. But the NFL people, they do a

great job at the end of the game of getting your family to you on the field. They understand what that moment means and who you want to share it with. “It was pure. It was special,” he said. “I'd won the national championship at Miami, played on a state championship team at Neville. But this one was different because it touched so many people, so deeply. “I've never seen so many grown men cry in a 24-hour period as I did that night and the next day. It meant that much to all of us, because we knew how much it meant to the Saints fans everywhere, the city of New Orleans, the state of Louisiana.” The celebration, quickly dubbed Lombardi Gras considering the NFL's Vince Lombardi Trophy for the Super Bowl champs and New Orleans' trademark, impending Mardi Gras festivities, was epic. The afterglow has lasted into April, when the Saints gathered to begin offseason workouts for 2010. “You want to hold on to those memories, but you better realize, that's done now. I've still got the fight and the hunger. When you win one, you really believe you can do it again, and you want to prove you can,” he said. That's a jazz riff that's music to the ears of Saints fans, and it's a way of life for Bill Johnson. The challenges never end, but now his sense of accomplishment will never fade, either. Nor will his pride in NSU, as he told this year's Demon football team in a spring visit. “Everywhere I've been, every Sunday morning, I'm checking the paper to see how the Demons did,” said Johnson. “This is where my life's destiny was set. I found what I was supposed to do. I found the woman to spend my life with. I made lifelong friends. No matter where I go, this will always be home.”

University Administration Dr. Randall J. Webb Northwestern State President Dr. Randall J. Webb stated when he became Northwestern State University’s 17th president in July of 1996 that his primary objective would be to help make his Alma Mater the best institution it could be. It is apparent after more than 14 years that Webb is achieving that admirable goal. Under his leadership, Northwestern became the first public college or university in Louisiana to achieve 100 percent national accreditation of all eligible academic programs. Enrollment has reached record levels during Webb’s tenure as president and exceeded 10,500 for the first time in history in the fall of 2004. Webb has also been at the forefront in recent years of moving the university toward higher admission standards, which has resulted in some enrollment declines but in the enrollment of students with greater academic potential and aptitude. Retention has increased at the university, the average ACT score of students has gone up, and high school student leaders are enrolling in Northwestern in record numbers. There has been a substantial increase in the number of high school valedictorians and salutatorians among first-time freshmen at the university. External funding for NSU has also increased dramatically under Webb’s leadership. In the first capital campaign in its history, the university received $32.7 million to far exceed its goal of $18.84 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 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. NSU offers courses and degree programs to students across the nation and world through Internet and compressed video. Millions of dollars have been obtained during Webb’s presidency for new and renovated facilities. A new $6.9 million Wellness, Recreation and Activity Center opened on the campus in 2005; and Morrison Hall, the Family and Consumer Sciences Building, and Williamson Hall have been completely renovated and restored. Over $32 million in construction by a private company has added two modified residence halls to the campus in recent years. Funding has also been obtained to rebuild the East and West Caspari Halls, and replace the underground electrical distribution system. Northwestern academic programs and athletic teams continue to receive positive national recognition. The Computer Information Systems program, for example, won five consecutive national championships in academic competition in systems analysis, and the NSU men’s basketball team defeated Iowa in the NCAA national championship tournament. 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 currently serves 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 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. Tamara and her husband, former NSU All-America baseball pitcher Reggie Gatewood, live in McKinney, Texas, with their children Tyler and Ava. Lauren is married to former outstanding NSU baseball player Nick Simokaitis, and they live in St. Louis with their sons Nicholas and Benjamin.

University Administration DEMONS’ DECADE OF EXCELLENCE

Jerry Pierce

Highlights of NSU athletics in the first 10

Vice President/External Affairs Jerry Pierce is the Cal Ripken of the Northwestern State athletic program. Day after day, year after year, Pierce is in the lineup, fielding his position with aplomb, and delivering at the plate, knocking a ball out of the park from time to time but always taking an understated profile, seeing himself as a role player. Beginning his 46th year on the university's staff, Pierce's impact on NSU and the city of Natchitoches can't be measured as easily as Ripkin's Baseball Hall of Fame statistics, but they are equally indelible. He begins his 21st 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. NSU Athletic Council Pierce is an avid tennis player who has been a member John Ackel of USTA teams that have won more than a dozen state chamJody Biscoe (chair) pionships, five regional titles and one national championship. Dion Boyett Well before moving into the executive position, Pierce Dusty Dischler (student) had already served his alma mater, adopted hometown and Dwight Epperson state with distinction. In his role as vice president, he overKelee Grimes (student) sees university operations in athletics, alumni and developJennifer Kelly ment, public and media relations and assists President Dr. Melissa Kelly Randall J. Webb in governmental affairs activities. Many of Dr. Michael Land those duties were his since the 1970s as he worked under Dr. Jeff Matthews four previous presidents as Northwestern advanced from Dr. Ron McBride NAIA to NCAA College Division to NCAA Division I athletic Michelle Pichon Kristi Simms status in 1977. Cathy Sutton A 1961 graduate of Northwestern, Pierce served as trainer for the Demon football team during his college years, working Ex-Officio Me m b e r s closely with legendary coach Jack Clayton. After earning his Greg Burke journalism degree, Pierce went to work for the New Orleans Dustin Eubanks Times Picayune, serving as a reporter and editor. He was Jodie Heinicka named executive sports editor at the age of 24. Dr. Patrice Moulton In 1965, he chose to raise his two sons in Natchitoches and Dr. Vicki Parrish returned to NSU as sports information director. He was proJerry Pierce moted to news bureau director two years later and assumed additional responsibilities in athletics, alumni affairs and other areas through the years. He founded, in 1972, the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame facility in Prather Coliseum on the NSU campus, providing a home for an entity created in 1958. He established annual induction activities that remain in place nearly four decades later, and served as director of the Hall for 19 years until his promotion to vice president 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 Division I status in 1977. He is a past president of the Southland and has served the 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 a decade 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, 21, and Miranda, 10, and two stepchildren, Nicholas and Natalie.

Athletic Administration Alex Cook Assistant Marketing Director

Jody Biscoe Faculty Athletic Representative Faculty Athletic Representative Jody Biscoe is Associate Professor of Psychology and Addiction Studies at Northwestern State, where he is the coordinator for the undergraduate Addiction Studies, and Substance Abuse/Prevention concentrations. Since 2006, he has served as Faculty Athletic Representative for NSU. This role includes the chair of the NSU Athletic Council. Since 2006, Northwestern State University has made numerous paradigm shifts in how it addresses the needs of student-athletes; however, one thing has been consistent in that its student-athletes are winners on the field and in the classroom. All have heard about higher educational institutions being penalized by the NCAA for academic improprieties. NSU has attempted to be a model program of “Doing Things the Right Way,” by following the Athletic Department motto: Great Tradition – Brighter Futures. This past year, NSU was one of only four schools in the State of Louisiana that did not receive any penalties for low NCAA Academic Progress Rates (APR) with baseball, soccer, softball, tennis, women’s indoor & outdoor track, and volleyball rating in the top three in the Southland Conference. Among the 40 Northwestern State student-athletes and athletic staff members who graduated in spring 2010, 10 of the 20 receiving undergraduate degrees graduated either cum laude or magna cum laude. Graduation rates of student-athletes in soccer, volleyball, men’s basketball, baseball and football ranked in the top four of the Conference. These accomplishments could not have been achieved without the support and efforts of the studentathletes, 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. In addition, he has coordinated five nationally recognized leadership institutes for Louisiana, Texas and New Mexico and a member of the National ATTC Leadership Directors Committee. Recently, he was appointed to the NAADAC - National Addiction Studies & Standards Collaborative Committee. This past year, Jody was selected to serve on the United States Health and Human Services – Substance Abuse & Mental Health Service Administration Expert Panel concerning workforce issues. Jody's wife, Veronica (Roni), is an avid runner. Their 16-year-old daughter, Roxy, is a junior on the varsity cheerleading squad and Lady Tiger basketball team at St. Mary's High School. All are devoted Demon fans!

Dr. William Broussard Executive Director - NSU Athletic Association Associate AD for External Relations One of the most accomplished student-athletes ever at Northwestern State (see page 97), two-time football All-America center William Broussard returned to his alma mater in February 2007 as the Director of External Relations, coordinating fundraising activities through the Athletic Association and Demon Victory Fund. Known for his avid and tireless promotion of NSU Athletics, Broussard has represented the department as Associate Athletic Director of External Relations since 2007 and planned or helped organize hundreds of events to promote Demon Athletics. After re-branding the annual fund campaign the Demon Victory Fund (DVF) in 2007, the DVF enjoyed its most successful year up to that point. The 2008-09 DVF once again broke the annual record for total revenues, number of Athletic Association members, and Select 100 Members on the way to establishing a new benchmark for annual, unrestricted support of the NSU Athletic Department. Under Broussard’s guidance, the NSU Athletic Association has set four consecutive annual total attainment records, secured the largest scholarship endowment and largest planned gift in the history of NSU Athletics. In the 2009-10 year, the NSU Athletic Association established or tied several annual records under Broussard’s guidance, including annual records for total operating revenues, gift-in-kind donations, number of commitments to the Endowed Scholarship Program (9), and number of Select 100 members (197). Broussard also assisted in raising more than $100,000 in support for renovations to the Athletic Field House. Broussard represents Northwestern State as the Southland Conference representative of the National Association of Athletic Directors of Development (NAADD) and is also an Assistant Professor of Journalism at NSU. He is the author of essays and articles on the culture of college athletics and writes a bi-weekly sports editorial for local news magazine The Real Views. He is also the 2010 president of the Natchitoches Lions Club. Broussard is a 2000 graduate, with distinction, of the Louisiana Scholars’ College at Northwestern State University and a 2007 graduate of the University of Arizona, with his Ph.D. in Rhetoric and Composition. A native of Crowley, he is married to the former Kendra Peters, a Lady Demon volleyball player during the couple’s days at Northwestern.

In an era of considerable change in intercollegiate athletics, 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. What began as a small gathering of college administrators more than 45 years ago, the Southland Conference has transformed itself into a dynamic and respected consortium of 12 member universities in three states. Beginning with a historic meeting of five institutions in Dallas on March 15, 1963, that included current members Lamar University (then Lamar State College of Technology) and the University of Texas at Arlington (then Arlington State College), the Southland Conference set on an extraordinary course that has proven successful well into its fifth decade of existence. On July 1, 2006, the Southland Conference commemorated another milestone as the league membership reached 12, marking the largest configuration ever for the organization. The addition of the University of Central Arkansas and Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi expanded the Southland into the Little Rock metro area and into the eighth largest city in Texas. Central Arkansas and A&M-Corpus Christi enhanced the Southland Conference in innumerable ways, including athletic and academic successes, strong and principled leadership, and strong fan support and media coverage. In addition to its two newest members, the Southland Conference lineup also consists of Lamar University, McNeese State University, Nicholls State University, Northwestern State University, Sam Houston State University, Southeastern Louisiana University, Stephen F. Austin State University, the University of Texas at Arlington, the University of Texas at San Antonio, and Texas State University-San Marcos. All told, the revised membership of the Southland encompasses more than 180,000 current students and an alumni base of approximately 920,000. Famous alums from Southland Conference schools include former President Lyndon B. Johnson (Texas State), former CBS news anchor Dan Rather (Sam Houston State), retired U.S. Central Command General Tommy Franks (UT Arlington), NBA executive Joe Dumars (McNeese State), ABC news anchor Robin Roberts (Southeastern Louisiana), country music star George Strait (Texas State), Major League Baseball stars Hunter Pence (UT Arlington), Kevin Millar (Lamar) and Ben Broussard (McNeese State), NBA legend Scottie Pippen (Central Arkansas) and actor Lou Diamond Phillips (UT Arlington). The cities of the Southland are diverse and progressive, ranging from international business and cultural centers such as the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex, San Antonio and the New Orleans area, to the historical cities of Nacogdoches, Texas, and Natchitoches, La., to the home of the modern oil boom, Beaumont, Texas, to the unique Cajun French cultures found in the Louisiana cities of Thibodaux and Lake Charles. Southland Conference institutions also draw large numbers of students from the metropolitan areas of Houston, Little Rock, Baton Rouge, Austin, and Shreveport. 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. The Conference earns automatic qualification to NCAA championships in baseball, men's and women's basketball, men's and women's cross country, football, men's and women's golf, women's soccer, softball, men's and women's tennis, and volleyball.Southland Conference football ranks among the best Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) leagues in the nation, and enjoys an annual expectation of competing for the national championship with multiple teams advancing to the NCAA playoffs each year. In 2002 and 2003, McNeese State finished the regular season ranked No. 1 in the nation, and advanced to the 2002 national championship contest, the sixth such title game appearance since the league joined FCS in 1982. All told, Southland teams have played in 89 Division I playoff games in 27 years, winning 42 of the contests.

The Southland Conference

The SLC will serve as host of the NCAA Division I Football Championship Frisco, Texas, which has been home to the Southland Conference office since 2006, is the new host city for the 2010 NCAA Division I Football Championship game, which will played at Pizza Hut Park on Jan. 7, 2011. The 23,500-seat multi-purpose stadium will be the host site for the championship game for the next three years. “Touchdown! We can't wait for college football to come to Frisco,” said Frisco mayor Maher Maso. “Frisco is a sports town and a Division I Football Championship is another chance for sports fans everywhere to not only experience great football but to also discover all our community has to offer. We also want to thank folks from all over the country who supported our bid effort.” The local organizing committee consists of the City of Frisco, its Economic Development Corporation and Convention & Visitors Bureau, Hunt Sports Group/Pizza Hut Park, the Frisco Chamber of Commerce and the Southland Conference. “The Southland Conference is honored and privileged to serve as the host conference for the NCAA Division I Football Championship Game,” said Southland Commissioner Tom Burnett. “Since beginning the planning process last August, our Team Frisco local organizing committee has worked diligently to bring this national championship to Pizza Hut Park. We also knew from the start our community would support this effort. Given all the built-in advantages of Frisco and the greater Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area, we always felt confident the NCAA would be attracted to what we were offering the game.” Frisco emerged from a pool of several cities that submitted bids to serve as the host site for the championship games, beginning with the 2010 season. The championship game will be the culmination of a newly expanded 20-team championship bracket. As a result of this expansion, the game will be played a few weeks later than in years past. The Football Championship Subdivision includes the conferences and institutions that compete in the NCAA Division I Football Championship, in addition to two conferences who choose not to participate in the football championship, the Ivy League and the Southwestern Athletic Conference. The FCS embodies a tradition of excellence through high level competition, student-athlete character and sportsmanship throughout the regular season and the championship experience. The decision to award the championship site to Frisco, Texas, was recommended by the Division I Football Championship Committee and approved by the Administrative Committee of the Division I Championships/Sports Management Cabinet. “We are excited about the opportunity for the football championship game to be played in Frisco,” said Damani Leech, NCAA director of baseball and football. “With the quality of bids that were submitted, it was not an easy decision to make. But we feel the right decision and right place to serve as the site for the Division I football championship is indeed Frisco.”

OUTCOME OVERSHADOWS PROGRESS BY DEMONS

North Dakota's game-opening goalline stand and halfback Mitch Sutton proved decisive Sept. 19 as the visiting Fighting Sioux posted a 27-20 victory to spoil the 2009 home opener in an SLC TV game at Turpin Stadium. Sutton ran for a 47-yard touchdown out of the wildcat formation, threw for a 17-yard score on a halfback pass and blocked a punt for a safety. UND (1-1) opened the game by stopping the Demons (0-3) cold on third and fourth down inside the 1 to blunt a 13-play, 67-yard drive with the opening kickoff.

UCA (4-1, 1-0) scored on its second play of the game. The Bears doubled their lead shortly before halftime, asserted control with scoring drives of 10 and 11 plays entering the fourth quarter and used two long touchdown bombs to blow open the game in the final period.

McNeese scored five of the six times it had the ball in the first half of the Oct. 17 contest in Lake Charles, coming up empty only once, when Northwestern mounted a spirited goalline stand that briefly kept the Demons (0-6, 0-2) within hailing distance at 16-3 midway through the second period. But the 13th-ranked Cowboys (4-2, 2-1) added a pair of touchdowns in the final five minutes before halftime to erase any question about the final outcome.

Just as Northwestern seemed to be making strides, Southeastern Louisiana stymied the Demons with a methodical Southland Conference victory on a sunny Nov. 7 at Turpin Stadium. It was the first shutout posted by SLU (6-3 overall, 4-1 in the SLC) in 94 games. Northwestern (0-9, 0-5) came in on an offensive upswing (23 ppg, 392 ypg last 3 games). The Lions broke open a 10-0 contest by scoring two TD, using turnovers as catalysts, in the final 30 seconds before halftime.

GAME 10:

• The teams combined for 19 punts, both tying stadium records, NSU with 10 and SLU with 9 to equal the most by a visiting team in the 33-year history of the facility. • NSU receiver Darius Duffy (12-147) was one catch shy of the Demons' single-game receptions record while posting career highs in both categories, and moved within three grabs of NSU's single season receptions mark (47 by Bernard Green in 2001). • The Demons tried to avert the shutout twice, but John Shaughnessy was just short on a 49-yard field goal late in the third quarter and had a 43-yarder blocked in the fourth quarter. • SLU won in Natchitoches for the first time since 1978, snapping an eight-game skid at Turpin Stadium.

Wide receiver Darius Duffy caught 12 passes for 147 yards.

FOURTH-QUARTER MISCUES DOOM DEMONS, 28-21

Two fourth-quarter turnovers and a holding penalty that erased a tying touchdown foiled Northwestern's comeback bid in a bitterly disappointing defeat at Nicholls on Saturday, Nov. 14. An interception in the end zone on fourth-and-9 at the Nicholls 15 with just over a minute to go sealed the Demons' fate. A lost fumble at the Nicholls 26 and a flag wiping out a 39-yard TD from Paul Harris to Justin Aldredge coupled with a first-half interception inside the 10 to doom NSU.

Northwestern State couldn't score after halftime despite having four of their six possessions reach well into Stephen F. Austin territory, and the No. 15-ranked visitors prevailed and won a share of the Southland Conference championship on Nov. 21. The underdog Demons (0-11, 0-7) fought SFA on even terms throughout a rainy afternoon at Turpin Stadium in the annual "Battle for Chief Caddo."

Demon All-Americans A rugged offensive guard, this Abbeville native was the Demons’ first football All-American in his senior season, 1938. He also became the school’s first NFL Draft pick, going in the second round of the 1939 draft to Philadelphia. Recently married, he was able to make more money by staying at NSU to coach for Harry Turpin than by playing pro ball. He stayed for 50 years, eventually serving as registrar after a coaching career that earned him membership in the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame. Ledet was pivotal in the careers of Demon greats Jackie Smith, Charlie Hennigan and Charlie Tolar. Walter Ledet Guard - 1938

Truly one of the most gifted athletes ever to play at Northwestern, Dodd set a national record with 31 career interceptions, a mark that still stands as state and school records. On the unbeaten 1966 Demons’ squad, Dodd was the biggest star, earning All-America honors and an invitation to play in the Senior Bowl. He moved across the ball to receiver in the NFL, playing most of his 7 seasons for the fledgling New Orleans Saints, finishing with 111 career receptions for 1,803 yards after beginning as a defensive back in 1967 for Chicago. His 17-yard reception with two seconds left in a 1969 game set up Tom Dempsey’s NFL record 63-yard field goal to beat the Detroit Lions.

He could have accepted a scholarship to play for Army, but Springhill native John King headed south to NSU and the Demons got one of their more versatile and productive offensive linemen. King earned All-America honors as a senior in 1990 at center after playing all five interior line positions in his career, as a four-year starter. In 1988, he played guard as the Demons set school records for points, touchdowns and rushing yards while winning their first Southland Conference championship and reaching the Division I-AA playoff quarterfinals. He is now head coach at Longview (Texas) High School after starting his coaching career with the Demons. John King

Billed as “The Terminator” for his AllAmerica campaign in 1991, senior linebacker Andre’ Carron stacked up a pile of awards and accomplishments. A consensus All-American, the Opelousas native was the Football Gazette I-AA Defensive Player of the Year and was runner-up, by one first-place vote, for the Walter Payton Trophy given to the top player in I-AA (The Buchanan Award didn’t’ exist yet, but Carron would have won it). Noted for a bone-jarring, intimidating style, Carron won three national Defensive Player of the Week awards in 1991 while setting single-season (176) and career (521) tackle records. He was voted by teammates as the Demons’ Defensive MVP for three straight seasons.

Demon All-Americans Marcus Spears

Marcus Spears and Jerry Rice are the only two Division I-AA players ever to be elected to the Football Writers of America AllAmerica Team. Rice made it in his senior year, 1986. Spears, a returning AllAmerica offensive tackle for the Demons entering his senior year, joined players from Notre Dame, Virginia Tech, Nebraska, and Georgia, among others, on the 1993 FWAA squad. He also was a semifinalist for the Outland Trophy given to the nation’s best offensive lineman, becoming the first and only Division I-AA player considered for that award. He went on to play 11 NFL seasons before retiring in 2005 – not bad for a guy who played football only in his senior season at Baton Rouge-Belaire HS, and had one scholarship offer, from Coach Sam Goodwin and the Demons. Offensive Line - 1992, 1993

He proved too small for the NFL, but Jermaine Jones came up huge for the Demons in 1998 and continues to star in the Arena Football League. After playing just one year of high school football in Morgan City, Jones became a cornerback in his sophomore year at NSU. As a senior in 1998, he scored 5 touchdowns (3 on defense, 2 on punt returns) and was one point away from winning the Buck Buchanan Award as Division I-AA’s top defensive performer as NSU won the SLC title and reached the I-AA semifinals. He was the SLC’s overall “Player of the Year” and the “Defensive Player of the Year” on the All-Louisiana team after shattering NSU’s season and career records for pass breakups.

The Crowley native, one of only seven two-time All-Americans in NSU history, was one of 15 National Football Foundation Scholar-Athletes recognized from all levels of college football in 1999. The Crowley native was one of only 10 college football seniors to receive an NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship. Nominated as a Rhodes Scholarship candidate, Broussard was voted “Mr. NSU’ by the student body and earned $23,000 in postgraduate scholarships for himself and another $10,000 for the general scholarship fund.

Prather was the first officially appointed head football coach. His best season was 1932, when the Demons went 7-1 and shut out five opponents. Prather is best known, however, as basketball coach at Northwestern (then called Louisiana Normal) for 36 years. He was 473-169 as a basketball coach and is the namesake for Northwestern’s basketball coliseum.

Widely respected by his peers, Doherty led the Demons to a surprising 8-2 record and the Gulf South Conference title in his first season. That earned him coach of the year honors in the league and in the state. He was promoted to athletic director in 1974 and relinquished the coaching duties.

Goodwin's impact in 17 seasons as coach was immense. He became the winningest coach in school and Southland Football League history, with 102 Demon victories including 49 in Southland competition. His teams captured four conference titles and featured many of the school's greatest players. Nine of his last 12 teams were nationally ranked, including the 1998 club, which tied the school record with 11 wins, finished No. 3 nationally and reached the Division I-AA playoff semifinals.
