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.

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.

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.

2011 Season Outlook

Young & Experienced Demons eager for 2011 2011 Demon Football With four straight wins coming down the stretch in the 2010 Southland Conference season, Northwestern State seemed to have turned the corner under second-year coach Bradley Dale Peveto. The Demons stepped onto the field in the season finale with the opportunity to win a share of the conference championship, and claim an FCS playoff berth, by winning. That proved too tall an order facing Top 10-ranked Stephen F. Austin on the road, but there was no masking the progress made in the second half of 2010 by a young and resilient NSU squad. Northwestern tied with Maryland for the fourth-best improvement in Division I football last season, winning five more times than in 2009. The first four of those triumphs were nailbiters, settled in the final minute of regulation or in (double) overtime. Three of the five wins came on the road, including a comeback 24-19 victory at nationally-ranked Central Arkansas. That was then, this is now. While past performance is a prime indicator of future success, it's no guarantee. The Demons face new challenges in 2011, beginning with an imposing run-up to a wide-open, rugged Southland season. But there are many reasons to believe last year was a turning point, and 2011 will mark the return to championship contention for NSU football. Athlon Sports has already tapped the Demons as the team to beat in the Southland, based on 59 returning letterwinners, including 16 starters. The 2011 Demons are young AND experienced. There are 23 players who got significant action as true freshmen in each of the last two seasons. Among those are all-star candidates like junior quarterback Paul Harris, junior receiver Phillip

2011 Season Outlook

Junior QB Paul Harris returns behind center after a memorable sophomore season.

Harvey, and four of the five starting offensive linemen sandwiched around savvy senior center Zach Case. Also high on that list of former fab freshmen are secondary standouts Jamaal White, Brashard Booker and Cortez Paige, rising junior defensive tackle Quinn Anthony and junior kicker John Shaughnessy. Then blend in some accomplished veterans, and the stock rises even faster. Junior linebacker Derek Rose not only broke into the starting lineup last season, he broke onto the national scene with his bone-rattling hits and his cerebral play. Rose became the first sophomore All-American at NSU since current Buffalo Bills starting cornerback Terrence McGee earned that distinction as a record-setting return specialist in 2000. With 138 tackles, averaging 13.4 in the final 10 games, Rose bloomed quickly. Alongside him is former walk-on Yaser Elqutub, a pre-med major whose nose for the ball on defense and special teams is surpassed only by his passion for community service and academic achievement. He and senior tight end Justin Aldredge were FCS Academic All-Stars last fall, both bumping up near 4.0 grade point averages in demanding fields of study. Aldredge, senior wide receiver T.C. Henry and sophomore receiver Louis Hollier head the list of primary targets for Harris, the fiercely competitive lefty who is on pace to threaten school career records for passing and total offense. A stable of experienced and explosive running backs provide balance for the Demons' multiple attack. The ensemble in the backfield includes two true sophomores, D.J. Palmer and Rumeall Morris, who flashed explosive ability and toughness in 2010. Rising junior Sidney Riley had a breakthrough spring practice, demonstrating a jarring running style combined with breakaway ability. Veteran Sterling Endsley is a proven commodity. At fullback, sophomore Brant Legendre had an impressive 2010 debut before a knee injury ended his season.

Justin Aldredge looks to be a prime target for quarterback Paul Harris.

Jamall White is one of several returning talented defensive backs.

Bradley Dale Peveto Head Coach SMU, 1986 • 6th Season at NSU • 3rd 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 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. In 2011, Rivals.com stopped ranking FCS signing classes - but Peveto and staff didn't stop signing highly-recruited prospects. Looking through his coaching staff, Peveto has blended 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 23-year college football coaching career includes the Tigers' 2007 BCS national championship and Northwestern State's FCS semifinal playoff season of 1998. His latest accomplishment is entering the conversation for the national Eddie Robinson Coach of the Year Award from the Sports Network last November, as the Demons were surging in a stretch run that brought them to the brink of a championship and postseason play. NSU entered the final game of the 2010 season with the opportunity to win a share of the Southland Conference crown, and advance to the FCS playoffs, but could not overcome Top 10-ranked Stephen F. Austin on the road. Still, the accomplishment Peveto is more proud about is having the Demons rank as the nation's fourth most-improved team in Division Coach Peveto with his wife, Melissa, son Jacob Edward, and daughter Peyton Marie. I last season, winning five more games than in 46

2009. Right alongside that feat: having one of the most improved Academic Progress Rate scores among any FCS football program in his first year, 200910. That 42 percent jump was reported in this May's APR release by the NCAA and ranks seventh among the 117 FCS programs in Division I. Peveto is the 13th head coach in the 102-year history of intercollegiate football at Northwestern. He was defensive coordinator for the Demons from 199698 under the school's winningest head coach, Sam Goodwin. 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

Demon Coaching Staff 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, linebacker 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 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. Peveto (pronounced PEA-vit-toe) left LSU on a high note. He 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. 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 sea-

sons. 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 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, 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 (8), and a son, Jacob Edward (5). Great Tradition • Brighter Future

Todd Cooley Assistant Head Coach-Offense • Offensive Coordinator • QBs Arkansas Tech, 1998 • 3rd Season at NSU Other Duties: Coordinator for community service projects; Chris Waddell Day coordinator Recruiting Areas: North Louisiana, Central Mississippi Coaching Experience: In two years running the NSU offense, Cooley's crew has scored on its first possession of the game 9 times in 22 tries. Last year at Southeastern, the Demons scored on their first three touches for the first time since 2004. Getting off to a great start was a 2010 trademark for Cooley's offense. The Demons averaged 19 yards on their first play of the game, including a 49-yard pass on the first play of the season at Air Force. In that game, NSU had 21 points and 257 yards against the Falcons by halftime. The Demons' offense began to churn out yardage at opportune times in the Southland Conference season in 2010 after showing flashes earlier in the year. With an influx of young players getting extensive playing time, the pace and potency of NSU's offense surged in the second half of 2010, with true sophomore QB Paul Harris posting some of the best single-season totals in school history. In a challenging debut season of 2009, with injuries sidelining veteran players, and a 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 an 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 full-fledged 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 single-season passing record by throwing for over 2,300 yards. Personal: Age 35, born 9/7/75. Married the former Lisa Gatlin from Conway, Ark., on July 16, 2005. She is the coordinator of Main Street programs for the City of Natchitoches. His parents are Don and Lynne Cooley, who reside in Nashville, Ark. Father is a longtime Arkansas high school football coach. Mother is a reading specialist for the state of Arkansas. Cooley has two younger sisters, Paige Fisher of Russellville, Ark., and Kristi Simms of Natchitoches. Cooley enjoys spending time with his family, playing volleyball in his pool and playing golf in his spare time.

Brendan Farrell Tight Ends • Special Teams Coordinator Notre Dame, 2000 • 3rd Season at NSU Other Duties: Video operations liaison Recruits: East Houston and Beaumont. Coaching Experience: Through two seasons at NSU, Farrell has far-reaching impact on the Demons. On offense, he assisted in the growth of TE Justin Aldredge into one of the offense's biggest weapons. Aldredge finished 2010 third on the team in receptions and first in TD receptions, earning All-Southland Conference second team honors. Last year, Farrell also helped newcomer TEs Jake Bryan and Tucker Nims to contribute to the offense. In 2009, Farrell was instrumental in the conversion of Aldredge from safety to TE, where he received honorable mention All-Southland honors and was the third leading receiver on the team. On special teams, Farrell oversaw the dramatic improvement of both of the Wild Demon specialists in 2010. Punter Bradley Russo jumped from a 2009 average of 36.3 yards (83rd nationally) to 41.0 (18th nationally), while kicker John Shaughnessy improved from converting 66.7 percent of FG/PAT’s in 2009 to 84.8 percent in 2010. Russo’s rise led to the punt team’s overall improvement, raising its net punt average 23 spots in the national rankings. NSU was also ranked 33rd nationally in punt return defense (6.8 avg.). In Southland Conference games, the team only allowed 15 returns for 54 yards (3.6 avg.). In addition, this unit caused and recovered two fumbles in 2010. Under Farrell, a kickoff coverage unit that improved 62 places nationally in kickoff coverage defense (19.8 avg.) in 2009, also continued improvement. In 2010, the Demons led the SLC and ranked 38th nationally (climbing 14 spots) allowing 19.6 yards per return. In Southland Conference games the kickoff unit only allowed 17.1 yards per return, with just one return over 32 yards. Over the past two seasons, under Farrell, the Demons have blocked seven kicks (Punt/PAT/FG), including a crucial blocked punt for a touchdown in the fourth quarter of a road win over Texas State last fall. In 2009, he also contributed to the growth of true freshman returner Bradley Brown into an honorable mention All-Southland performer. Farrell has worked alongside Bradley Dale Peveto for six seasons, two at NSU, three at LSU, and beginning in 2004 at Middle Tennessee State. A year after Peveto, defensive coordinator at Middle Tennessee, joined Les Miles' staff at LSU in 2005, Farrell followed as a quality control staffer for tight ends and special teams. Peveto was in charge of the Tigers' special teams in 2005-07 and Farrell assisted in all game planning, practice planning, and scouting of opponents special teams. He contributed to the development of first-team All-Southeastern Conference specialists Colt David (kicker) and Patrick Fisher (punter), along with kick returners Trindon Holliday and Craig Davis. Farrell also worked with the Tigers offense during his time at LSU. Farrell helped LSU win the 2007 BCS National Championship with an appearance in the BCS National Championship Game. The Tigers also won the Chick-Fil-A Bowl in 2008. Farrell entered college coaching at Wayne State from 2002-04 (running backs coach, special teams coordinator). He helped develop Craig Duppong, who was a two-time Division II All-American who averaged 171 all-purpose ypg. His special teams blocked 11 punts and field goals in two seasons and averaged 12 yards on punt returns. He moved to Middle Tennessee State, working alongside Peveto as the defensive video graduate assistant for the 2004 season, helping Peveto coach the linebackers and assisting with special teams, with his kickoff coverage team ranking third nationally allowing only 15.8 yards per return. When Peveto moved to LSU, Farrell shifted roles as a defensive graduate assistant in February 2005, working as assistant defensive line coach for that season and helping develop Sun Belt Conference defensive MVP Jeff Littlejohn. Playing Experience: Farrell played linebacker and safety at Notre Dame from 1996-99, making the trip south to Shreveport for the 1997 Independence Bowl game vs. LSU and to Jacksonville for the 1999 Gator Bowl. He lettered for the Fighting Irish in his senior season, 1999, when he was a commended student-athlete and was recognized by the Faculty Board of Athletics. Personal: Age 33, born 4/8/78 in Fairport, N.Y. He is the son of Timothy and Peggy Farrell, who now live in Charlotte, N.C., and has an older sister, Colleen Colby. Farrell graduated with an English and history double major from Notre Dame in 2000 with a 3.02 grade point average. He earned a master's degree in sport administration in 2004 while coaching at Wayne State. Farrell enjoys reading classic literature and says James Joyce is his favorite author.

Brad Laird Associate Head Coach • Defensive Coordinator • Safeties Northwestern State, 1998 • 8th Season at NSU, 4th since 2005 Recruiting Areas: Shreveport and Northeast Texas Other Duties: Academics liaison, Compliance liaison, golf tournament coordinator. Coaching Experience: Promoted to associate head coach in early 2010, Laird has been defensive coordinator for the Demons for six seasons. 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. The shutdown ability of the Demons' defense emerged in the second half of the 2010 season. Not coincidentally, NSU went on a four-game win streak and played for the Southland title and an FCS playoff berth in the season's final game. 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. He is the school career total offense leader (6,178 yards). Laird was named in 2007 to the Top 100 Players in Demon Football History, commemorating the centennial celebration of NSU football. He completed 57 percent of his 761 career pass attempts and was the Demons' season leader in passing all four years he played, including his true freshman season of 1991. Laird played his high school football at Ruston High under Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame coach Chick Childress and was the 1991 Superdome Classic MVP for as the Bearcats won a second state championship with him at quarterback. He led Ruston to a No. 1 national ranking and was the firstteam Class 4A (at the time, the state's largest classification) All-State QB. He set career passing records at Ruston of 4,157 yards and 39 TD passes, at a school where 1976 NFL MVP Bert Jones also played QB. The Bearcats were 30-1 with Laird as the starter. In January 2010, Laird was inducted in the Louisiana High School Sports Hall of Fame along with four other state prep sports legends. Personal: 38 years old, born 6/20/73. Laird has an education degree from Northwestern. Laird spent his early days in Natchitoches when his father, Billy Laird, was offensive coordinator for the record-shattering, NFL talent-laden Demons of the late 1970s and early 1980s under head coach A.L. Williams, when future pro stars like Bobby Hebert, Joe Delaney and Mark Duper shined for NSU. Brad is married to NSU alumnus Renee, and they are parents of two children, Brianna (8) and Brock (5).

In the 2008 and 2009 seasons, Lockett was an assistant defensive backs coach and a quality control coach at Missouri Southern, where he also assisted with special teams.

Jeremy Offutt Offensive Line Oklahoma State, 1998 • 6th Season at NSU Other Duties: NSU Camp coordinator; graduate assistant coordinator Recruits: East Texas south of I-20 Coaching Experience: Last year, Offutt coached senior guard Michael Booker to All-America honors. 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 2008-09, 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. In 2009, Larry Calcote and converted defensive lineman Destry Hesskew also started as true freshmen. Four more true freshmen played last season -- Blayne Cole, Josh Cunningham, John McLendon, and Tchissakid Player, who started vs. Tarleton State. Only a total of nine 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 at OSU 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: 35 years old, born Oct. 28, 1975. He and his wife, April, have two daughters, Brynn (13) and Reese (6). 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.

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 15 years that Webb is achieving that admirable goal. 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. A new Student Services Center on the site of the former West Caspari Hall will be complete early next year. 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 Caspari Hall 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. 62

Webb was a member of the faculty of Longwood College in Farmville, Va, from 1966 until 1974. He served as Director of Higher Education and Teacher Certification in the Louisiana Department of Education from 1974 through 1976. He moved to Southeastern Louisiana University in 1976 and in 13 years there held positions as director of institutional research, EEO officer, registrar and member of the mathematics faculty.

He 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.

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 47th 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 Jody Biscoe (chair) of USTA teams that have won more than a dozen state chamDion Boyett pionships, five regional titles and one national championship. Lyn Christophe Well before moving into the executive position, Pierce Dwight Epperson had already served his alma mater, adopted hometown and Kelee Grimes (student) state with distinction. In his role as vice president, he overMarcus Jones 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 Michelle Pichon four previous presidents as Northwestern advanced from Kristi Simms NAIA to NCAA College Division to NCAA Division I athletic Mark Swanstrom Ed Ward status in 1977. Will Watson (student) 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 Carrie Crowell Times Picayune, serving as a reporter and editor. He was Dustin Eubanks 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 two decades later. Pierce is regarded as one of the most effective legislative liaisons for Louisiana's higher education system. He is also a popular after dinner speaker and master of ceremonies who has spoken at hundreds of events since 1965. In addition to his administrative responsibilities, Pierce is a member of the Journalism Department faculty. He is the author of one book and editor of two others and has written thousands of editorials, columns, features and other articles for newspapers and magazines. Pierce and his wife Regina, a teacher, live on Cane River Lake in Natchitoches. He has two sons, Randy and Rick, both NSU graduates; and three grandchildren, twins Evan and Amanda, 22, and Miranda, 11, and two stepchildren, Nicholas and Natalie.

INTERESTS: Working out, watching ESPN and VH1 Classic, family outings.

Director of Athletics

Burke has been athletics director at Northwestern since Aug. 29, 1996, when his first day included speaking at the annual NSU/Independence Bowl Kickoff Luncheon. Burke is the longest serving AD at any Louisiana institution. He has steered NSU athletics to many of its greatest accomplishments while overseeing a program that has fielded championship caliber teams in nearly all of the school's NCAA Division I sports. Last year, he was included among 29 winners of the Under Amour AD of the Year Award presented by the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA). He was also among four winners chosen to be involved in a Street and Smith's SportsBusiness Journal panel discussion on current Division I athletics issues. Joining NSU's Burke were Purdue's Morgan Burke (no relation), Samford's Bob Roller and Lee Fowler of North Carolina State, with the transcript of their discussion distributed to national media by the Sports Business Daily. Burke just completed a term as the 2010-11 president of the Football Championship Subdivision Athletics Directors Association. Burke's 15 years as athletic director include 32 Southland Conference regular-season or tournament championships, 54 All-American and Academic All-American student athletes, and three U.S. Olympic competitors. Seventeen NSU teams have taken part in NCAA or WNIT postseason competition. Under his guidance, Northwestern State has led all 13 public institutions in Louisiana, and all 12 Southland Conference institutions, in the NCAA's Academic Progress Rate and Graduation Success Rate reports. The school's athletic facilities have undergone nearly $7 million in improvements in the past four years. NSU in 2004-05 became the first (and remains the only) Southland Conference member in the league's five decades of history to sweep football, men's basketball and baseball championships in the same athletic year. It's been done only once in Southeastern Conference history, by Alabama in 1933-34, and only four times in Big Ten Conference history, the last time by Michigan State in 1979-80. Those accomplishments have come with one of the more modest athletic budgets in the state and conference. Burke's management skill and fundraising ability have been pivotal. Burke generated a $2 million series of sponsorships for new scoreboards installed for 2008-09 at all NSU athletic venues and spearheaded the $700,000 Second Century Circle fencing project for athletic venues. Burke has displayed a remarkable ability to hire dynamic head coaches, including several whose success at Northwestern State has propelled them to national prominence in subsequent positions. Some of his best hires remain on staff at NSU. Two, basketball's Mike McConathy and soccer's Jimmy Mitchell, guided Northwestern in NCAA Tournament play in their second seasons and have been back to postseason since. NSU's 2006 basketball team scored one of the most memorable upsets in the history of March Madness, coming from 17 down to stun No. 15-ranked Iowa 64-63. Burke has selected head coaches who have subsequently been hired by Alabama, Florida, Missouri, New Mexico, Kentucky, Virginia, Mississippi State and Wichita State. From his first day on the job, Burke has stressed the importance of having a balanced athletic program. To that end, tremendous competitive strides have been made in women's athletics under his guidance. The NSU soccer program was the first one in Louisiana ever to reach the NCAA Tournament and remains the only one with multiple appearances. Volleyball set attendance records and has made its best-ever showings in conference play in recent years. In softball, NSU posted the nation's most improved win total in 2010 regular-season play under second-year coach Donald Pickett, and moved among league contenders in 2011. The Lady Demons joined Stanford as the only women's tennis programs in the country in 2010 with only one regular-season loss, while sweeping Southland regular-season and tournament titles and making a first-ever NCAA Team Tournament appearance. While on-field success by Demon and Lady Demon teams has been a source of pride for NSU supporters, Burke is equally proud of the tone which has been set within the NSU athletic program as it relates to academic achievement and community service. The academic accomplishments are reflected annually in the NCAA's APR and GSR studies. Community service by NSU student-athletes, coaches and staff more than doubled to over 5,000 hours in 2009-10 and remained at that level in 2010-11. Burke spearheaded the adoption of the slogan “Great Tradition, Brighter Future” for NSU Athletics, and the creation of NSU Athletics “Cornerstones” for student-athletes: “Academic Achievement, Personal Responsibility, Competitive Success … Every Minute, Every Hour, Every Day!” In 2005, Burke was one of three recipients of the All-America Football Foundation's Gen. Robert R. Neyland Outstanding Athletic Director Award and that same year, was also tabbed as one of two Natchitoches Parish Cenla Newsmakers of 2005 by the Alexandria Town Talk newspaper's editorial staff. He received the 2006 “Outstanding Alumni Award” from his alma mater, Marlington High School in Alliance, Ohio, recognizing his community service and professional achievements. Burke became one of only 21 alumni honored since the award was instituted in 1982. In June 2006, he was a featured speaker and panelist at the National Association of Collegiate Athletic Directors convention in New Orleans, addressing members of the College Athletic Business Managers of America and also participating in a panel discussion of "Fundraising from an Athletic Director's Perspective" speaking to the National Association of Athletic Development Directors. Since 2007, Burke has been a member of the prestigious NCAA Championships/Sports Management Cabinet, a 49-person panel which makes recommendations to the NCAA Board of Directors on key issues facing Division I athletics. He previously served a four-year term on the NCAA Division I Football Issues Committee (1999-2002) and concurrently served a term on the eight-member NCAA FCS Committee that administers the national playoffs. Since his committee term expired, Burke has served as a site supervisor for Football Championship Subdivision playoff games across the nation and he is regarded as one of the country's premiere advocates of FCS football. In 2004, NSU received the highest possible rating, "fully certified," from the National Collegiate Athletic Association, affirming that Northwestern operates its athletic program in substantial conformity with operating principles adopted by the NCAA Division I membership. Burke is a past president of the Natchitoches Kiwanis Club and remains active in that civic group. He has also been part of the steering committee for the Natchitoches Christmas Festival and is a former president of the Natchitoches Area Jaycees. He is involved with the American Heart Association and was 2010 March of Dimes chairman locally. He and his wife, Susu, is a Natchitoches native, NSU graduate and an elementary teacher. Their 17-year-old daughter, Catherine, is captain of the St. Mary's High School cheerleading squad, in addition to being a point guard on the basketball team and a member of the tennis team.

Athletic Administration Jody Biscoe Faculty Athletic Representative Faculty Athletic Representative, Jody Biscoe, is associate professor of Psychology and Addiction Studies at Northwestern State, teaching in the undergraduate and graduate programs. Since 2006, he has served as Faculty Athletic Representative for NSU. This role includes the chair of the NSU Athletic Council. When it comes to NSU Athletics, I believe Michael Jordon said it best, “Talent wins games, but team work and intelligence wins championships.” For the last several years, the athletic program has been consistent in wanting to create an environment for its student-athletes that afford them the opportunity to be winners on the field of competition and in the classroom. This is accomplished in four fundamental ways: 1) The athletic administration remains focused on the mission of providing student-athletes a competitive environment both academically and on the field; 2) Coaches who are committed and desire a positive team experience for their student-athletes; 3) Faculty who are committed to creating a learning environment that is conducive to all students' academic successes; and 4) The Demon community that supports college athletics is one of the most supportive and unified environments both in academics and athletics. When meeting with recruits and their parents who visit campus to decide if NSU is the place to achieve their academic and athletic goals, I provide them a few keys to success. Make sure your priorities are right, have good character, focus on academics, be competitive athletically, and fun. If you keep them in that order, you will be fine here at NSU. Recently, a parent asked me how we all do what we do given today's economy and still provide a winning environment. We accomplish things, taking a phrase from the legendary Penn State football coach Joe Paterno, ‘We have to be flexible but we don't lose our focus.’ Our Athletic Department focus has been “Great Traditions - Brighter Futures.” Jody's married to his wife, Veronica (Roni), an avid runner, and daughter Roxy is a senior co-captain on the varsity cheerleading squad and Lady Tiger basketball team at St. Mary's School. All are devoted Demon fans! Cary Bruno Enhanced Academic Program Advisor

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. In January 2011, the Southland Conference, in conjunction with the city of Frisco, Texas and Hunt Sports Group, played host to the NCAA Division I Football Championship Game in Frisco, which has been home to the conference office since 2006. The game will be played at Frisco's Pizza Hut Park for at least the next two seasons. Frisco was named the fastest growing city in the nation in 2010. Southland Conference football ranks among the best Football Championship Subdivision 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 the Football Championship Subdivision (formerly I-AA) in 1982. All told, Southland teams have played in 93 Division I playoff games in 29 years, winning 43 of the contests.

The Southland Conference

After successful first year, FCS title game returns to Frisco, Texas Anyone who was in Frisco, Texas the first Friday of January 2011 will no doubt remember the buzz in the city leading up to that night's NCAA Division I Football Championship Game, the first of at least three national championship games to be played at Pizza Hut Park. Eastern Washington came from behind to score three times in the final 17 minutes to beat Delaware 2019 to win the school's first national championship. While the game was no doubt the highlight, it was a week's worth of events that separated the event from past championships. Nearly three weeks separated the semifinals and national championship game, a stark contrast to the one week teams and fans had to prepare before the playoff bracket expanded this year from 16 to 20 teams. Delaware and Eastern Washington arrived to Texas on Tuesday and were greeted by signs and banners around town as well as great crowds at their respective team headquarters. Wednesday afternoon, the teams headed to two local elementary schools where they were welcomed by students eager to show off their school spirit for their newly adopted college teams. Later that night, the two participating teams gathered at the Frisco Conference Center for the Great Texas Barbecue Bowl that showcased the legendary Texas culture and hospitality. Thursday, teams attended the Champions Luncheon that featured keynote speaker Everson Walls, the former Grambling Tiger and Dallas Cowboy, who was serving as the FCS ambassador for the championship. The day of the championship, fans of the teams began gathering the restaurants and parking lots surrounding Pizza Hut Park and took part in Tailgate Town that featured quality entertainment and even more Texas sounds and flavors. Ultimately, it was time for kickoff and the matchup did not disappoint the 13,000plus fans who attended the first college football game in Frisco. Along with the date change, the venue was well received. The stadium gives the championship room to accommodate around 23,500 fans and has all the requisite amenities for fans and the teams, including a number of practice fields. Across the board, the response was positive for the change. The game is already scheduled to be played in Frisco following the 2011 and 2012 seasons. The local organizing committee, collectively known as “Team Frisco” 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 Frisco-based Southland Conference. The Football Championship Subdivision includes the conferences and institutions that compete in the NCAA Division I Football Championship - Big Sky, Big South, Colonial Athletic Association, Mid-Eastern Athletic, Missouri Valley Football, Northeast, Ohio Valley, Patriot League, Southern and the Southland - in addition to two other conferences, the Ivy League and the Southwestern Athletic Conference. The FCS embodies a tradition of excellence through high level competition, studentathlete character and sportsmanship throughout the regular season and the championship experience.

A thundering pregame flyover by four F-15E Strike Eagles just before kickoff over Falcon Stadium at the Air Force Academy signaled the launch of the 2010 college football season for visiting Northwestern State on Sept. 4. It took two quarters for the Falcons to follow suit by hitting the afterburners, breaking open a three-point halftime game with two touchdowns in the next five minutes and two more on their next two possessions to trigger a 65-21 triumph over the Demons. Northwestern was blasted with 41 unanswered points on 389 yards piled up by the Paul Harris threw for 214 yards while rushFalcons, while the visitors netted only 57 ing for another 21. yards offense in the second half. That was a far cry from the 24-21 halftime score which dampened the partisan crowd of 40,236 at the base of the Rocky Mountains. The Demons outgained the Falcons 257-227 in the first half, primarily on the chops of the feisty left-handed quarterback Paul Harris. He threw a 5-yard pass to junior tight end Justin Aldredge to tie the game at 7 with 3:36 to go in the opening quarter, then scored on what likely will wind up as the most spectacular play that the Demons or the Falcons will pull off this fall. Harris capped a nifty nine-play, 80-yard drive by tucking the ball on a pass play from the Air Force 11, cutting to his right and leaping toward the goalline from the 3. He was met by three defenders inside the 2, was completely pinwheeled around at shoulder height, but landed feet first facing the end zone and dove across to make it 17-14 9:23 before the half.

Walter Payton Award candidate Chris Evans ran for 109 yards, including a 5-yard touchdown, as Samford overpowered Northwestern State 19-7 on the evening of Sept. 11, spoiling the Demons' 2010 debut at Turpin Stadium. Evans broke open a scoreless game 7:01 before halftime with his touchdown on one of his 25 carries. It capped a 13-play, 80-yard drive and gave the Bulldogs (1-1) a 6-0 lead after the extra point failed. Samford added a 44-yard Cameron Yaw field goal on the final play of the first half to begin a string of three straight scores to Cornist Broadway with one of NSU’s two sacks take command. Yaw hit a 43-yard field goal for the game. three minutes into the third quarter, then the Bulldogs moved 68 yards on eight plays for a 1-yard Jonathan Sillers touchdown plunge to go ahead 19-0 midway through the third period. The Demons (0-2) had only 98 total yards entering the fourth period but used an eight-play, 59-yard drive to create a little drama when Paul Harris scored on a 1-yard quarterback sneak with 7:52 to play, drawing NSU within two scores. But interceptions thwarted the next two possessions by the Demons, ending the game. Samford ran for 239 yards and threw for 220 while running 89 plays, averaging 5.2 per snap with the 459-yard total. Northwestern netted 215 total yards, just 47 rushing on 22 tries. Demons' senior punter Bradley Russo tied the school record with 11 punts and averaged a sparkling 42.9, with a net average of 40.2, and had four inside the 20 yard line.

It was the Southland opener for both teams.

Northwestern State piled up pivotal defensive plays, headed by a blocked punt for a touchdown and a goalline stand in the fourth quarter, lifting the Demons to a second straight stirring road victory, 16-3 at Texas State on Oct. 23. Northwestern (3-4 overall, 2-1 in the Southland Conference) notched consecutive road wins overall for the first time since 2002 and triumphed twice in a row away from home in league play for the first time since 1998.

The blocked punt by sophomore safety Brashard Booker, converted into a touchdown and a 16-3 lead, came with 8:04 remaining.

Booker stormed across from the right side and blocked the punt, which was scooped up immediately at the 2 by Kedon Franklin, who cashed it in for six points. The conversion kick was blocked, leaving NSU up 16-3 with just over eight minutes to go.

Northwestern State dodged a bullet and instead made a giant leap forward Saturday night in a 23-20 double overtime win over visiting Sam Houston State that vaulted the surging Demons into a three-way share of the lead in the Southland Conference football race. Winning its third straight to the delight of a Turpin Stadium Homecoming crowd of 9,151, Northwestern (4-4 overall, 3-1 in the Southland) got a 1-yard rollout and keeper by sophomore quarterback Paul Harris for coach Bradley Dale Peveto celebrates by the game-winning touchdown on third-and- Head leading the Demon marching band in the fight goal from the 1, with the Demons trailing by song. 3. The Bearkats (4-4, 2-2) failed to win on the last play of regulation when kicker Miguel Antonio missed a 36-yard field goal after NSU called three timeouts on the heels of a final SHSU timeout to kill the clock with 3.5 seconds left. That left the game tied at 10 going to overtime. "I was glad we froze him. It was a gift from God, it really was. The guy's a good kicker and it kept us in the game," said Demons' second-year coach Bradley Dale Peveto. "But our players never flinched, they fought relentlessly, and they won a big game late for the third straight week." Northwestern moved into a three-way tie for first in the Southland after Texas State rallied from a 24-0 fourth-quarter deficit to shock No. 4 ranked Stephen F. Austin 27-24, and McNeese State won 24-14 over Nicholls State, leaving NSU, SFA and McNeese all 3-1 in the conference with three games left.

Four straight!!!! 1st place Demons cruise, 35-16

Colonels crunch Demons in 37-7 shocker

Northwestern State 35, Southeastern Louisiana 16

Nicholls 37, Northwestern State 7

Nov. 6, 2010 • Strawberry Stadium • Hammond, La. • 14,008

Nov. 13, 2010 • Turpin Stadium • Natchitoches, La. • 7,501

Erupting offensively from the outset of the Nov. 6 game behind fiery sophomore quarterback Paul Harris, the Demons scorched a veteran but struggling Southeastern Louisiana squad 35-16, scoring the first three times they took possession and carrying a 35-9 lead into the final quarter at Strawberry Stadium. Northwestern (5-4 overall, 4-1 in the Southland) retained its share of first place in the Southland while posting its fourth straight win (best by the Demons since Harris was named the SLC and LSWA 2004), and third consecutive road victory Paul Offensive Player of the Week after his performance. (NSU's best road success since 1998). The point total was NSU's best in Todd Cooley's 20 games as offensive coordinator. Meanwhile, the Demons' defense extended its recent dominant play, as the Lions (2-7, 1-4) didn't dent the end zone until a 58yard touchdown bomb with 6:59 remaining. Sophomore safety Jamaal White had two interceptions (one resulting in an 85-yard touchdown return thanks to a lateral to Cortez Paige) for Northwestern, which has allowed only five touchdowns in the last four games.

Nicholls quarterback LaQuinten Caston ran for three touchdowns and threw for another on Nov. 13 as the visiting Colonels shocked Northwestern State 37-7, knocking the Demons out of a first-place tie in the Southland Conference football standings. Caston rushed for 134 yards on 18 carries, including scoring runs of 39, 2 and 22 yards, and he threw a 7-yard touchdown to Kenyad Blair. Nicholls scored on its first two Rose with one of his 18 tackles against possessions, driving 80 yards and then Derek Nicholls on Nov. 13. punching it in from the 2 after a 22-yard interception return by Jordan Hanberry, and the Demons got no closer than 21-7 at halftime. The outcome snapped a four-game win streak by Northwestern (5-5 overall, 4-2 in the Southland) while giving Nicholls (3-7 overall, 2-4 in the SLC) its first win in four games and a lift out of last place in the conference. The Colonels also defeated the Demons for the sixth time in the last eight years. The loss did not end Northwestern's aspirations for a conference championship or an FCS playoff berth under second-year coach Bradley Dale Peveto, but the Demons lost control of their own destiny for the SLC crown.

All in the Family

Lumberjacks overwhelm gutsy Demons 36-13

Four sets of fathers and sons have taken the field as Demons.

Stephen F. Austin 36, Northwestern State 13 Nov. 20, 2010 • Homer Bryce Stadium • Nacogdoches, Tex. • 11,687

The combination of too much from No. 5ranked Stephen F. Austin and too little time on the field for Northwestern State quarterback Paul Harris did in the Demons' Southland Conference and FCS playoff hopes on Nov. 20, as the Lumberjacks pulled away from a tightly-fought first half for a 36-13 triumph in the regular-season finale for the old rivals. The outcome, combined with Central Arkansas defeating McNeese State 28-24, rewarded SFA with an outright Southland Harvey hurdles a defender on his way football crown, an automatic playoff berth Phillip to a 66-yard td reception. and a home playoff game, and the biggest trophy in sports, a 7-foot-6, 320-pound wooden statue of a mythical Native American. The Lumberjacks (9-2 overall, 6-1 in the SLC) won the "Battle for Chief Caddo" behind some prodigious numbers from record-shattering senior quarterback Jeremy Moses and a smothering defense that bottled up the Demons (5-6, 4-3). But it was 9-7 SFA when Harris, the Demons' dynamic sophomore signal-caller, was sidelined 11 minutes before halftime due to a concussion apparently sustained late in the first period. Northwestern managed only one first down and 25 yards in the second quarter, but still trailed just 12-7 at halfitme. Backed up at their own 7 early in the third period, SFA's Moses and Gralyn Crawford connected on a 74-yard strike down the middle of the field that set up a 19-yard TD on the next play, triggering a run of 24 unanswered points on the Lumberjacks' first four possessions to turn the battle into a rout.

Joe Delaney Bowl

Kirt Straughter Trident Test Winners

Latino Award Winners

The annual spring football game is named in honor of Joe Delaney, an All-American who drowned June 29, 1983, trying to save three children.

The "Trident Tests" are designed to test the players strength, speed and conditioning. The players receive an overall grade based on ranking among all players.

The coaches select a senior player who most exemplifies the effort, unselfishness, leadership and character of the late Lester Latino, a twotime all-conference linebacker.

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.

Turpin held the Demon football job longer than anyone, serving 22 seasons in charge. He guided Louisiana Normal, which became Northwestern State College during his tenure, into the Gulf States Conference. In 1939, his team went 11-0 and won the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association championship. NSU’s football stadium is named for Coach Turpin.

Demon Traditions ALL-AMERICANS In 101 seasons of intercollegiate football, 41 Northwestern players have earned first or second-team All-America honors. Offensive guard Walter “Cajun� Ledet, later a highly-successful Demon track and field coach and assistant football coach, was the school’s first All-American in 1938. Only eight 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, and defensive tackle Tory Collins in 2005 and 2006 — won All-America honors in more than one season. Reasons became the first three-time All-American in Division I-AA history. In 1993, Marcus Spears became only the second I-AA player ever (along with Jerry Rice) to make the Football Writers Association of America All-America team. William Broussard and Mike Green, members of the memorable 1998 team which advanced to the national semi-finals for the first time in the program's history, are the only two teammates at Northwestern to earn All-America status in consecutive seasons. CHIEF CADDO At 7 feet, 6-inches tall and 320 pounds, Chief Caddo is the biggest trophy in college football. The wooden Indian statue is awarded to the winner of each year’s Northwestern vs. Stephen F. Austin game. The stately Chief is symbolic of the kinship between the cities of Natchitoches and Nacogdoches, home of SFA. He was named “Chief Caddo� to honor the Indian tribe that not only first settled the two communities, but provided safety for the early white settlers in the area. The statue originated in 1960, when Northwestern and SFA decided the loser of their 1961 game would have a tree chopped down from its nearby forest to be sent to the winning school, who would have a statue carved. The Demons won that 1961 matchup 35-19 and SFA delivered a 2,000pound black gum log to Northwestern. Harold Green of Logansport spent over 230 hours carving the ' $ " * 9 @ * C- @ statue. - $$ D 24< $ 6 6 $ E @ * 6 Since the Demons and @ 5 F # . Lumberjacks have been playing for Chief Caddo, Northwestern holds a 28-16-1 advantage in the series. In the 48 years of the Chief’s life, he’s spent 33 in Natchitoches. The two teams did not play each other from 1965-68 and in 1973. To those who know the Chief best, that comes as no surprise. Even an SFA coach admitted a few years ago that the Chief seemed to like Natchitoches, blaming it on meat pies and Cajun cooking. But veteran Northwestern followers know his allegiance goes even deeper. After all, if you were a wooden statue, would you want to spend time around a bunch of Lumberjacks?

CONFERENCE CHAMPIONS Since World War II, the Demons have won or shared 10 conference titles. Northwestern won Gulf States Conference crowns outright in 1953, 1962 and 1966 and shared the title in 1957-58. The Demons won the Gulf South crown in 1972, then shared the Gulf Star Conference championship in 1984. Northwestern won the Southland Conference title in 1988 with a 20-17 victory at No. 1-ranked Stephen F. Austin in the final game of the regular season. In 1997, the Demons shared the title with McNeese State. In 1998, NSU made it back-to-back championships winning the title outright with a 61 conference mark and in 2004, NSU shared the title with Sam Houston State after posting a 4-1 league mark. THE DELANEY MEMORIAL Established in 1990 to fund the Joe Delaney Memorial Scholarship Endowment, the Delaney Memorial Weekend is held during spring practice. It starts with the Delaney Bowl, an intersquad game, and features a scramble golf tournament. Over $200,000 has been generated for the scholarship fund named for the heroic Delaney, the 1981 AFC Rookie of the Year who died in a 1983 attempt to rescue three drowning children. One survived. DEMON DRESSING ROOM ETIQUETTE 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 The Demon football offices, as well as the offices for the track and baseball coaching staffs, are located on the second floor of the NSU Fieldhouse. On June 8, 1991, the area was named “The George Doherty Wing� in memory of the former Demon head coach and athletic director, who spearheaded planning of the ultramodern facility.

HOW WE BECAME THE DEMONS In 1923, when Northwestern was known as Louisiana Normal College, President V.L. Roy and Coach H. Lee Prather held a contest, open to students, to choose a nickname for Normal’s athletic teams. A $10 prize, donated by the athletic department, was on the line. Names suggested included the Gridiron Knights, Daredevils, Boosters, Sharks, Cannons, Deers, Muskateers, Invicibles, Ground Hogs, Royalists, C y c l o p s , Bloodhounds, Professors, Cannon Balls, Wasps, and Rattlesnakes. A committee tabbed two: Braves and Demons. After a vote of the students, Aileen Ritter and Truett Scarborough split the $10 because each had suggested From the November 8, 1923 Current Sauce edition. “Demons.�

Demon Traditions S TA D I U M N A M E S A K E S At least four Demon coaches have stadiums named after them. NSU’s Turpin Stadium for football honors 22-year head coach Harry “Rags” Turpin. NSU’s Ledet Track Complex pays tribute to head track and assistant football coach Walter Ledet. NSU’s Brown-Stroud Field baseball stadium pays tribute, in part, to longtime assistant football and head baseball coach Alvin “Cracker” Brown. Louisiana Tech’s Aillet Stadium honors longtime head coach Joe Aillet, who grew up in Natchitoches, played for the Demons and was an assistant coach on the 1939 undefeated team before being hired as head coach of the rival Bulldogs. Brown replaced him on Turpin’s staff, which also included Ledet. RETIRED JERSEYS Hundreds of players have worn the Purple and White in the nine decades of Northwestern football, but only five have had their jersey numbers permanently retired. Al Dodd (41), an All-American on the unbeaten 1966 team, was the first to receive this honor. Joe Delaney’s No. 44 was retired at halftime of his final game in 1981. Gary Reasons’ No. 34 was set aside after his career ended in 1983. Jackie Smith's No. 80 was retired at homecoming 1994. In 1997, the familiar No. 12 jersey worn by Bobby Hebert was retired during halftime ceremonies of homecoming. T H E S TAT E FA I R C L A S S I C Gone, but not forgotten. For 40 years, old rivals Northwestern and Louisiana Tech played in Shreveport during the first weekend of the Louisiana State Fair. After the game, players and fans from both teams often made their way down the midway, enjoying the rides and carnival games. The series ended when Louisiana Tech withdrew after the 1987 meeting, halting what at the time was the South’s oldest active Division I-AA rivalry. The teams played for “The Rag,” a banner displaying names and colors of both schools which hung in the Student Union of the winning team for the next year. TRIDENT TEST Each spring and before fall practice, the Demon players go through a series of strength, speed and conditioning tests. Since three aspects of athleticism are being tested, they were named “Trident Tests” by the coaching staff. Each player is awarded an overall grade based on his combined ranking among all team members in every test. The winner receives the Kirt Straughter Memorial Award, named in honor of the 1989 Trident Test winner who drowned that year. SPIRIT OF NORTHWESTERN MARCHING BAND Nearly 300 strong, the dynamic Northwestern band has never lost a halftime show under the direction of director Bill Brent. The band’s enthusiasm was a major factor, said Coach Sam Goodwin, as Northwestern’s “Road Warriors” won key SLC games at North Texas and Stephen F. Austin to capture the 1988 SLC title. At home games, it’s a treat to watch Brent’s game day rehearsals. HOW VIC BECAME VIC On September 22, 1984, the Demon mascot received his official name by means of another contest, sponsored by the Athletic Department. The contest was open to faculty, staff, and students. The objective to find a name for the Demon. Over 300 entries were submitted to the committee. The grand prize was an all expense paid weekend at the Louisiana State Fair Classic. Ray Carney, an alum of the University, was the official winner with "Vic" which is short for "Victory."

quarter of the Homecoming game. KTBS-TV's Sam Schaecter made it his "Play of the Day" and the footage was picked up by ESPN -- who declared Vic the victor. Even Monroe's News-Star newspaper and KNOE-TV conceded the decision to Vic, who rallied after the Chief knocked off his head. Scott Ostler of the San Francisco Chronicle called it "the fight of the year" and wrote, "Vic won a unanimous decision. It's been a long time since I've seen a fight where someone's head actually gets ripped off -- and yet he rallies to win!" The footage made its way around the country, appearing on CNN Sports Tonight, ESPN College Gameday, NBC's Today Show, KNBC in Los Angeles, WUSA in Washington, D.C., and many other TV outlets. USA TODAY featured the mascot melee in its Oct. 28, 1992 issue. At year's end, the fight was named -- by viewer vote -- fourth on CNN's Plays of the Year" show. The frisky mascots met again, with plenty of fanfare but no altercation, when NLU visited for a Jan. 30 basketball game. Shane Clabaugh, the senior social work major who served as Vic, explained: "After he tore my head off, that was it. That goes against the code of ethics for mascots." Clabaugh said he won: "I scored a takedown. I was mad because he knocked my head off. I wanted to take off his head -- his real one."
