2010 NSU Football Media Guide

Northwestern State football players and coach-es fan out across the Natchitoches area eachMarch to honor the memory of a former Demon byperforming community service and outreach onthe annual "Chris Waddell Day" observance.

On the sixth annual Waddell Day,Northwestern football team members visitedeight local schools, the Natchitoches NursingHome and the local Boys and Girls Club topass along positive messages and encour-agement, reflecting the impact that Waddellhad on teammates and others on campus dur-ing his all-too-short time at NSU in 2003-04.

The NSU football team took part in its annual NSUDemons Football Blood Drive managed by LifeShares BloodCenter 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 NSUfootball blood drive last spring, and has been a blood donordating back to high school. His rare blood type was enteredinto a national data base, and it was found to match theneeds 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 coachingcareer under his belt, Bradley Dale Peveto can boast abouthauling in the No. 1 and No. 4 ranked signing classes in theFCS.

His 2009 signing class ranked No. 1 by Rivals.com whilethe 2010 unit ranked fourth in the country.

Pictured right are two true freshmen - widereceiver/return specialist Phillip Harvey and kicker JohnShaughnessy. Shaughnessy led the Demons in scoringwhile Harvey topped the teams in kickoff returns and returnyardage.

Both will join several other signees from those two yearsto help lead the Demons to a successful 2010 campaign.

2010 Season Outlook


It's happened before, recently, in theSouthland Conference. So, it can hap-pen again.

Not often would NorthwesternState's friendly but fierce rivals StephenF. Austin serve as inspiration for theDemons, but when it comes to footballsuccess, that's exactly the case. In2007, SFA was winless. Two yearslater, the Lumberjacks shared the 2009Southland championship and reachedthe quarterfinals of the FCS playoffs.

What looked from outside like a totalcollapse for the NSU football programin 2009, an unprecedented O-fer sea-son, was far from that in reality. Insteadof gaping cracks occurring in the foun-dation of Demon football, there werepillars for success established, stan-dards set and put to the most severetests.

The Demons didn't win a football

game last fall, but they hardly fell apart.In four of the last five games, when afractured team would collapse, NSUhad chances to win in the fourth quar-ter, falling by a combined total of 23points. In the season's last game, theannual “Battle for Chief Caddo”between neighborhood rivals, it tookfour intense quarters for SFA to prevail19-10 and claim its share of the confer-ence title.

“We're not where we want to be, nodoubt about it,” Peveto said during lastseason. “But you can either be a front-runner as a team and a coaching staff,or you can look it in the eye and workhard and keep doing the right things.We think our process is right. If youstick to that and don't waver, goodthings will happen.”

Everyone in the NSU camp is con-vinced that forecast will begin to holdtrue on the field in 2010.

Fourteen true freshmen from whatRivals.com recruiting analysts rated as2009's top FCS signing class took thefield for the Demons last fall, with sevenstarting. That youthful experience willserve NSU well this fall and in the nextthree seasons.

Northwestern returns 55 letterwin-ners in 2010, with 30 on defensedespite having to replace eight graduat-ed starters. Peveto and defensivecoordinator Brad Laird get a boost withthe addition of defensive line coach JayThomas, for the past five years thehighly-regarded head coach at league-rival Nicholls and the 2005 SouthlandCoach of the Year.

2010 Season Outlook


the last two seasons), rugged nosetackle Dennis “Tank” Clark (4 tacklesfor loss, 17 total last year as a backup),hard-hitting middle linebacker DerekRose (18 tackles as a reserve lastyear), and veteran cornerbacks JeremyLane (62 tackles, 9 pass breakups intwo seasons) and Cashas Pollard (38tackles, 5 PBU in two years).

Seven offensive starters are back,including six offensive linemen withextensive starting experience from2009 and before, providing a strongfoundation for the Purple Strike multipleattack designed by offensive coordina-tor Todd Cooley.

NSU used three quarterbacks, twonew to the program, last season. Aninjury ended senior John Hundley'sseason in early October. Junior trans-fer Tyler Wolfe played gallantly with aninjured shoulder all year but is nowback to the level that made him one ofthe South's more highly sought-afterprospects as a prep senior. Wolfe threw

for 307 yards and 3 touchdowns in hisfirst action and only full game for theDemons against North Dakota. Thereturning starter this fall is true sopho-more left-hander Paul Harris, whoserun-pass combination gave foes fitsmuch of the last half of the year (1,515total yards, 4 rushing TDs, 5 passingTDs in the last six games - 273.3 totalyards pg while starting the final fourgames of the season).

Preseason All-America offensiveguard Michael Booker and preseasonAll-Southland second-team pick ZachCase lead an experienced offensivefront. Larry Calcote, Jesse Hernandez,Destry Hesskew, and Jace Prescottwere starters as freshmen. At tight end,playmaking Justin Aldredge (25 catch-es, 328 yards, 4 TDs) is back afterscoring both receiving and rushing TDslast year.

Out wide, Cooley is counting on ahorde of receivers led by 6-7 AdrianReese (17-289, 2 TD, 17.0 ypc) andspeedy 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 Endsleywas lost for the season beforeSeptember last year with an injury afterhe had won the starting tailback's job,and he's back at 100 percent this year.

Both kicking specialists return,sophomore placekicker JohnShaughnessy and senior punterBradley Russo. Brown and PhillipHarvey (21.6 avg. on 30 kickoff returns)give the Wild Demons special teams anexplosive return game.

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

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

Demon Coaching Staff


In their days playing for Southland Conferencechampionship football teams at Northwestern adecade ago, Rob Robertson and Brian Whaley used toenjoy listening to pregame and halftime motivationaltalks by assistant coach Bradley Dale Peveto.

They had to sneak into those meetings. Peveto wasthe Demons' defensive coordinator from 1996-98under venerable head coach Sam Goodwin.Robertson, a fullback, and Whaley, a lineman, playedon offense. They weren't invited to the defensivemeetings.

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 CoachPeve could reach out and inspire each and every oneof us was something special.”

“One thing is for sure,” said Robertson. “He will getthe maximum potential out of his players.”

Peveto, 47, was named the Demons' new head foot-ball coach just before Christmas 2009. He came fromLSU, where he was the linebackers coach from 2005-08, including the 2007 Tigers' team that won the BCSNational Championship with a Sugar Bowl win overOhio State. He was introduced on campus Dec. 22 in arousing press conference attended by about 250friends and NSU supporters, then returned to finishhis coaching duties at LSU as co-defensive coordinatorby helping the Tigers win the Chick-Fil-A Bowl over14th-ranked Georgia Tech in dominating fashion onNew Year's Eve.

His decision to pursue and ultimately accept theNorthwestern head coaching position raised someeyebrows. Skeptics wondered why a coach would stepout of the high-profile, big dollar world of theSoutheastern Conference to become a head coach at asmaller Division I state university.

Part of the reason, said Peveto, was ambition. Hislate father was a legendary high school head coach inOrangefield, Texas, 10 miles west of the Louisiana bor-der, and 15 miles east of Beaumont. Bradley Dale start-ed as a ballboy for his dad's team, hanging out in thefield house and riding the “old yellow dog,” as theycalled the team bus, to games with his father.

Two of his three brothers, Jeff and Garey Birt, havebeen high school coaches in southeast Texas. To saytheir father had a strong influence is understating thesituation.

Peveto was an assistant coach for 21 seasons on thecollege level, beginning at Trinity Valley CommunityCollege. He's also worked at Southern Mississippi,Arkansas, Houston and Middle Tennessee before

coaching andwinning fourbowl games atLSU.

When theNorthwesternjob opened afterlast season, ittugged atPeveto's heart. Ifhe was evergoing to be ahead coach, itwas time to takethat step. A yearearlier, he hadbeen a primecandidate for thehead job at hisalma mater,SMU, butHawaii coachJune Jones gotthe nod after leading the Rainbows to the Sugar Bowl.

The allure of returning to Northwestern andNatchitoches 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 outthere, but where do you want to live? I loveLouisiana. I love Natchitoches. Is there a better job inthe country? I don't think so.”

A reporter from Peveto's hometown newspaperinterviewed him before the 2007 Sugar Bowl, at MediaDay for the national championship game. He asked anobvious question: is this the highlight of your coach-ing career?

Remarkably, it wasn't, and still isn't. As fantastic asthat experience was, and as much as Peveto enjoyedhis four seasons at LSU, he maintains his favoritecoaching memory is the 1997 season with the Demons.

“That team came through so much, not just devel-oping into a championship team when we were 2-3and just thoroughly whipped at McNeese in the mid-dle of our season,” he recalled. “Coach Goodwin didsuch an amazing job of being positive and confident inthe days after that game and we all fed off of him. Wedidn't lose another game, and they tore the goalpostsdown in Turpin Stadium and carried them downtownafter we beat Stephen F. Austin to win the conferencechampionship.

“That was great, but what that team dealt with out-

Former Demons believe in Coach Peve

From 1996-98, Peveto ran a defense that producedsix All-SLC first team players, including the 1997(Tony Joe Maranto) and 1998 (Jermaine Jones)league Defensive Players of the Year.

side of football, I've never been around a closer group.We had an offensive lineman, Jay Olive, and he andhis wife lost their little baby son to crib death duringpreseason camp. We had another player whose fami-ly's home burned down. We had other familytragedies. We had some heartbreaking injuries and wehad guys who just had to gut it out and get usthrough,” he said.

“You talk about triumph, that was a season whenwe had a triumph of will,” he said. “Winning thatnational championship at LSU, you bet it was specialand I'm so very proud of those players and being partof that team. What a great thrill. But what our teamaccomplished, considering all of the circumstances,here in 1997 is without a doubt my greatest thrill incoaching.”

Those who have played for, and worked with,Peveto attest to his magnetism and seemingly bound-less enthusiasm, along with a tireless work ethic.Goodwin recalls routinely getting to the office beforesunrise and finding Peveto already on his second orthird 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 footballwhich was very obvious,” said Whaley. “It was lateron, in spring conditioning drills at 5 in the morning,that I realized he was as intense at 5 a.m. workouts ashe was at a 6 p.m. recruiting dinner.”

“I only wish I would have had the chance to play forhim longer,” said Mike Stone, a defensive back duringPeveto's three years with the Demons.

“He is the most passionate coach that I have everplayed for, both in his approach to the game and hispassion for his players,” said Lanny Lawrence, a line-backer for Peveto with the Demons. “Coach Pevetoalways had a way of instilling pride in what we weretrying to accomplish as a unit and no one wanted to bethe weakest link in that endeavor.”

At LSU, he quickly developed a national reputationas an outstanding recruiter while Tigers players aidedhis cause as they told prospects how much they wouldenjoy playing for Peveto.

“He's a very exciting coach to play for. He gets youup,” said LSU senior linebacker Darry Beckwith.“He's just a hilarious guy, and he makes it fun. He'salso a guy who can count on and go talk to. He'llmake a great head coach.”

LSU linebacker Kelvin Sheppard recalled Pevetogetting his ankles taped alongside the players before ahuge November game against No. 1-ranked Alabama.

“It was great. It got everybody fired up, and itworked,” said Sheppard. “It was one of our bettergames. Coach Peve was the kind of coach you would

dream of having.”“The thing that always stuck out in my mind about

Bradley Dale is that what he took to the field as acoach was exactly the kind of intensity you want yourplayers to bring,” said Goodwin. “They see him work-ing that hard and caring that much and that affectsthem. He relates as well to kids as any coach I've everbeen around, and they'll fight tooth and nail for himbecause he's such a good motivator.”

In his previous stint at NSU (1996-98), Peveto helped lead the Demons to 25 winsand back-to-back SLC Championships in 1997 and 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 longhaul. And he's going to do it the right way.

Those qualities have all been evident from the time Bradley Dale Peveto strode to thepodium in front of 250 people on Dec. 22, 2008 to shake the hand of Northwestern Statedirector 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 cross-

es 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-recognizedknack for recruiting. It's been borne out at NSU both with play-ers and coaches.

The Demons' 2009 signing class, put together in six weeksafter Peveto was hired, was ranked No. 1 in FCS byRivals.com experts. The 2010 class was rated No. 4 national-ly among FCS schools in the Rivals.com rankings the dayafter National Signing Day.

Looking through his coaching staff, Peveto has blendedhighly-accomplished NSU assistants with top-quality new-comers to Natchitoches such as former Nicholls head coachJay Thomas and former Central Arkansas offensive coordina-tor Todd Cooley. His staff has followed his lead and hasbecome very active and visible in the community and withNSU alumni and supporters.

Peveto is a former LSU co-defensive coordinator whosehighly-successful 22-year college football coaching careerincludes the Tigers' 2007 BCS national championship andNorthwestern State's FCS semifinal playoff season of 1998.

Peveto (pronounced PEA-vit-toe) completed his duties asco-defensive coordinator and linebackers coach at LSU whenthe Tigers dominated Georgia Tech in the 2009 Chick-Fil-ABowl in Atlanta. LSU's defense shackled the nation's No. 1rushing offense in a 38-3 rout.

Peveto is the 13th head coach in the 102-year history ofintercollegiate football at Northwestern. He was defensivecoordinator for the Demons from 1996-98 under the school'swinningest head coach, Sam Goodwin.

Northwestern won the SouthlandConference championship and reachedthe FCS playoffs in 1997 and 1998,going 12-2 in the SLC and 19-7 overallin those seasons. The 1998 team, out-right SLC champions, finished with aNo. 3 national ranking after reachingNo. 2 at the outset of the national play-offs, hosting three postseason gamesin Turpin Stadium before a fourth-quar-ter rally by eventual national championMassachusetts halted the 11-3Demons in a semifinal game. The 1997Demons shared the SLC title by win-ning six straight games after a 2-3 start,capping the run with a stirring 38-21homefield triumph over rival Stephen F.Austin, denying the Lumberjacks a co-championship and a postseason berth.

Peveto has also been defensivecoordinator at Middle Tennessee Stateand Houston, where he was also assis-tant head coach in 2002. He has alsobeen part of coaching staffs atArkansas, Southern Mississippi,Stephen F. Austin and Trinity ValleyCommunity College. The Orangefield,Texas, native played in four bowlgames from 1982-86 at SMU, where hewas a safety, special teams star andteam captain while the Mustangs went43-14.

With Peveto on the sidelines as co-coordinator and linebackers coach in2008, LSU's defense ranked 17th in thenation in rushing defense (110 ypg) and32nd in total defense (326 ypg).

backer Ali Highsmith earned first-teamAll-America honors fromCBSsports.com, while also beingnamed a second-team All-American bythe Associated Press. Highsmithearned first-team All-SEC honors in2006, while junior Darry Beckwith wasa second-team All-SEC pick.

As LSU's special teams coordinator,Peveto had both his punter (PatrickFisher) and placekicker (Colt David)earn first-team All-SEC honors in 2007.It marked the first time in school historythat LSU had the All-SEC punter andkicker on its roster in the same season.Fisher averaged a league-best 44.5yards per punt in 2007, while Davidkicked a school-record 26 field goalsand led the SEC in scoring with aleague record 147 total points.

In his three years as LSU's specialteams coordinator, the Tigers returnedtwo punts for touchdowns and a pair ofkickoffs for a score. They also blockedsix kicks, converted 49-of-71 field goalsand 165-of-167 extra points.

In 2005, Peveto's impact was imme-diate as the Tigers fielded some of the

best special teams units in the country.LSU ranked first in the SEC and fifth inthe nation in net punting (39.0 aver-age). The Tigers were also first in theconference in kickoff coverage (45.5net average) and second in the leagueand 12th nationally in punt return aver-age (14.1). LSU's field goal and point-after-touchdown units were also muchimproved as the Tigers converted 45-of-46 PATs in 2005 and connected on14-of-24 field goals.

In his three years as defensive coor-dinator at Northwestern, Peveto'sdefense quickly earned the nickname"Purple Swarm" and coined the phrase"Swarm, Baby, Swarm" for his attackingdefensive style, which had NSU rankednationally in several statistical cate-gories during each of his three sea-sons. Four of his players earned All-America honors. In addition, fourDemon players were selected in theNFL draft, three after the 1998 season,including current Washington Redskinssafety Mike Green.

Under his direction, the Demondefense also set single-game records

for fewest yards allowed, fewest rush-ing yards allowed, and most quarter-back sacks. NSU also set school sea-son records for most defensive touch-downs scored. In addition, the "PurpleSwarm" also set season records forquarterback sacks in two of his threeseasons, accumulating 52 in 1998 and122 in the last three years.

Peveto comes from a family with arich football coaching tradition. His latefather, Ed, coached high school footballin the southeast Texas area and wasinducted into the Greater HoustonCoaches Hall of Honor in 1993 and intothe Golden Triangle Coaches Hall ofFame in 1997.

Cooley's explosive offenses at Central Arkansas lit up scoreboards around the SouthlandConference in 2007-08 and during his four seasons with the Bears as offensive coordinatorand quarterback coach. In that time (2005-08), UCA posted an overall 35-13 record, includ-ing an 11-3 SLC mark in the Bears' first two years (2007-08) as an NCAA Division I FCS mem-ber alongside Northwestern.

In 2008, Cooley's offense at UCA scored 40 points or more in seven of 12 games. TheBears had six receivers make 23 or more catches, four with 35 or more receptions.

In 2007-08, the Bears threw for 57 touchdowns and completed 68 percent of their 804passes with only 14 interceptions -- just four in 400 pass attempts in 2008. UCA ran for 47touchdowns 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 onthe ground while making only 32 turnovers in 23 games.

Cooley helped his alma mater, Arkansas Tech, and UCA to reach the NCAA Division IIplayoffs in back-to-back seasons in 2004-05. He spent one season at Arkansas Tech, and in2004 he restructured the Wonder Boys offense from a unit averaging 18.4 points per gamein 2003 to a squad that averaged 32.2 per game. Arkansas Tech went 10-2 and became thefirst Arkansas school to host and win a Division II playoff game.

Coaching Experience: Offutt's offensive lines from 2006-08 paved the way forByron Lawrence to become the Demons' No. 2 all-time leading rusher with over3,300 yards. Offutt's ability to quickly teach and mentor players has been proven overand 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 facesinto the lineup. In the last two seasons, injuries forced Offutt to use six first-year play-ers as starters, including five who were learning the offense in their first seasons. In2008, Zach Case and Jesse Hernandez became the first true freshmen offensivelinemen to start for NSU since 1998. Last year, Larry Calcote and converted defen-sive lineman Destry Hesskew also started as true freshmen. Only a total of eight truefreshmen linemen have started for the Demons since 1985.

Offutt joined the Demons in the summer of 2006, taking over perhaps theyoungest offensive line group in school history. While bringing that group along inpreseason, 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 seasonopener at Kansas. The opening two games in 2006 vs. Big XII Conference foes werefamiliar territory for Offutt, who spent the 2004 and 2005 seasons as a graduateassistant at his alma mater, working in 2004 under current LSU head coach LesMiles, who strongly recommended to Peveto that he retain Offutt at NSU. He workedwith the Oklahoma State offensive line for two years before being named coordina-tor of football operations for Coach Mike Gundy's program in January 2006. Hehelped coach an Oklahoma State offense that in 2004 reached the Alamo Bowl and ranked in the top 15 nationally in scoring (15th, 34.5points per game), rushing (9th, 245 yards per game) and pass efficiency (9th, 156.9 rating) while leading the Big XII Conference in redzone 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 hon-ors and a year later, one of his tackles was an All-Big XII selection. He wasresponsible for all aspects of the offensive scouting report and organizing theoffensive game plan at the direction of the offensive coordinator. Offutt recruit-ed all states west of the Mississippi River for OSU, excluding Texas andOklahoma.

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 1998Cowboys.

Bill Johnson • Super Bowl Champion


His career as a football coach wasn't hisidea. One of his players at Northwestern prod-ded him into asking out the sorority girl whobecame his wife. And yes, although he saw thelogic from a perspective only a few dozen peo-ple shared, he thought it was crazy to try anonside kick to open the second half of SuperBowl 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 atNorthwestern as Smilin' Bill Johnson, NSUclass of 1980.

Getting into the doghouse shortly after hisplaying career ended with the Demons drewthe ire of then-NSU assistant coaches Al Millerand Joe Raymond Peace. Their tongue-lashingstarted Johnson on a path that carried him tothe sidelines at Super Bowl XLIV as the defen-sive 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 personalroad or the Saints' ascension to Super BowlChampions in his first year with the team. “OleRudy ain't got nothin' on ole Johnson.”

The tale traces all the way back to his dayseven before he played football for Northwesternas a hard-nosed center from 1975-78. A coachat Monroe's Lee Junior High asked the strong-armed, curly-haired kid sitting on a heater in thehallway why he didn't play football, and “I ain'tstopped since,” grinned Johnson. Raised by asingle mother, he found a father figure in leg-endary Neville High football coach CharlieBrown, who later asked Johnson to make thepresentation speech for Brown's 2001enshrinement in the Louisiana Sports Hall ofFame. But first, Brown helped nurtureJohnson's football career to the point that hefound his way onto the NSU campus to try toplay college ball.

He made the most of it, earning a scholar-ship along with four letters as a deep snapperand the starting center for two seasons undercoach A.L. Williams. Heading toward gradua-tion in spring 1979, he figured he'd go back toMonroe and get a job working in a paper mill,until he and Demon teammate Petey Perot gotinto “a skirmish” while out one night.

They were called in by Peace, the offensiveline coach, and Miller, the linebackers coachwhose innovative strength training conceptssoon afterward carried him into the NFL ranksand made him a trailblazer in that field. Sittingin Peace's office in Prather Coliseum, seeinghis coach peering over a metal desk with steelyeyes, was not a comfortable posture.

“They were ripping us pretty good, and tomake matters worse, I'd made a D in a class. Imade pretty decent grades, but this was a D,”said Johnson. “Coach Peace got onto me

about that and asked what I was going to doafter I graduated, if I graduated. When I toldhim I figured I'd go home and get a paper milljob, he about popped.

“He looked at me and said, 'You're gonnacoach football, that's what. You're going to helpme here next year. That's what you're cut out todo, can't you see that?',” recalled Johnson.“Those coaches steered me in the right direc-tion. So many times, never more so than rightthere, I've had angels come down and help mealong.”

Johnson began working with the offensivelinemen, but when Sam Goodwin took over ashead coach, was shifted to coaching defensivelinemen as a graduate assistant. That put himin charge of a caustic Cajun defensive tackle,Ed Orgeron, who was also destined for acoaching career and a reputation as one of col-lege football's premiere recruiters. ForJohnson, Orgeron's eye for talent manifestedwhen the player told his coach about a TriSigma girl he knew in trainer EugeneChristmas' class, and Orgeron thought DawnDoherty would be a great match for Johnson.

“Ed went to a sorority party and came backand said I ought to meet her. Doc Christmastold me, 'she's just a sweet girl, you ought tomeet her.' Well, I'm almost seven years olderthan her. I wasn't going to date a student. Butshe was from Winnfield, and she was aroundon Thanksgiving week, and we took a ride andate dinner, and we hit it off. Twenty six-plusyears later, it's like a dream. We got engaged atChristmas 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 meand every time we've left someplace, it seemsshe's the one that left a mark. So there's anoth-er time an angel was taking care of this

Demon.”They have two kids, Billy and Abby, both stu-

dents at the University of Georgia, rooted inthat area because the family spent six years inAtlanta when Johnson broke into the NFL asdefensive line coach for coach Dan Reevesand the Falcons in 2001. He weathered ahead coaching change to Jim Mora Jr., butanother shift led him to Mike Shanahan's staffin Denver for two years (2007-08). AfterShanahan's surprising dismissal, last winter hewas about to choose a job in Green Bay overworking back in his home state for the Saints.

“You'd look at that and think I had a chanceto come home, but I loved the idea of coachingin Green Bay. I went up there and had a greatvisit. Then I visited with (Saints head coach)Sean Payton, they had (quarterback) DrewBrees, and (defensive coordinator) GregWilliams was probably coming on board.

“I thought it was all lined up right as far aswinning in New Orleans, so I made a footballdecision, not a coming home decision,” he said.“I felt good about it, but it turned out to be adream come true, an emotional ride.”

Coming home had its definite perks, likeopportunities to reunite with former Demonteammates and NSU friends like Perot (nowcoaching at Louisiana Tech), quarterback ButchBallard (a Bogalusa native and frequent visitorto NSU and south Louisiana) and the effusiveBobby Hebert, the NSU and Saints star quar-terback now in a role as the lightning rod ofsports broadcasting in New Orleans and on theSaints Radio Network.

It didn't take long for Johnson to sensesomething special was within reach. During lastApril's offseason training activities involving theteam, “I saw what we had and I was really excit-ed,” he said.

“We won the Super Bowl in April, May, June,

Bill Johnson • Super Bowl Champion


July and August. You could feel the chemistryon the team, and the work ethic was tremen-dous. People were having fun getting a lotdone.”

In his 29th season of coaching, 21 in collegeat stops such as Miami, Texas A&M andArkansas, Johnson knew a good thing when hesaw it. He was a graduate assistant coachinglinebackers when the Jimmy Johnson-coachedMiami Hurricanes won the 1987 major collegenational championship.

The 2009 Saints exploded on what was, forthem, an unprecedented run, staying undefeat-ed through their first 13 (of 16) regular-seasongames.

“It was the biggest grind I can ever remem-ber, from 8-0 to 13-0, trying to protect that winstreak,” he said. “We were getting real beat up.The players were drained. But it still took a realgood team to knock us off our perch, and Dallasdid it.”

Even though the team entered the playoffshaving lost three straight, Johnson was confi-dent. A month later, he was standing on thesideline in Miami as Carrie Underwood sangthe national anthem with fighter jets flying pastjust before kickoff of the Super Bowl.

“I was never a pro football fan until I got intoit myself, but I knew the New Orleans Saintshad a lot of years when they weren't even com-petitive. I'm taking in that scene, the game isabout to start, and I just felt something specialwas going to happen, I really did,” he said.

That began to unfold when the Saints wentinto the lockerroom at halftime having closedan early 10-0 deficit to a 14-10 gap, but aboutto kick off to the potent Indianapolis Coltsoffense led by superstar quarterback PeytonManning.

“Sean said to the coaches, 'it's a low pos-session game, and down four points about to

give the ball to Peyton Manning to start the sec-ond half, we've got to steal one. What about try-ing the onside kick here?' Now that'll raise youreyebrows. But if they take the ball and score atouchdown, we're down 11, two scores, and it'sa big hill to climb because it's tough to stopPeyton.

“We had seen something in film study wethought would open up for us, and worked theonside kick for two weeks going in. Our kickoffguy, Thomas Morstead, was a rookie from SMUand he was doing a nice job in practice. Well,the word spreads through the locker room thatwe're going to do it, and they found him in theback throwing up. He had never tried one in agame before.

“So we go out for the second half, and we allknow what's coming. Nobody else does. I puton my best poker face, looked around the sta-dium, and thought, these people ain't going tobelieve this. I was standing right where the kickneeded to end up. It took the officials almostfour minutes to decide who had the ball. It wasa great play by our guys, a great coaching deci-sion by Sean, because it created a completechange in the game. It was high risk, highreward. We drove the ball and scored, and thegame turned our way,” he said.

“It was so numbing, the feeling after thegame. Think of a balloon blown up full, and thenyou let the air out. The season was the balloon,gradually filling up to the brim at the SuperBowl. Your emotion and intensity is at a feverpitch, and then when we stopped them with 44seconds to go, we knew we could run out theclock. I thought back to Lee Junior High, NevilleHigh, Northwestern, coaching for nine years atTexas A&M, all through the years,” saidJohnson. “They say it flashes through yourmind, and it did. It was a little tough to get yourarms around. But the NFL people, they do a

great job at the end of the game of getting yourfamily to you on the field. They understandwhat that moment means and who you want toshare it with.

“It was pure. It was special,” he said. “I'd wonthe national championship at Miami, played ona state championship team at Neville. But thisone was different because it touched so manypeople, so deeply.

“I've never seen so many grown men cry ina 24-hour period as I did that night and the nextday. It meant that much to all of us, because weknew how much it meant to the Saints fanseverywhere, the city of New Orleans, the stateof Louisiana.”

The celebration, quickly dubbed LombardiGras considering the NFL's Vince LombardiTrophy for the Super Bowl champs and NewOrleans' trademark, impending Mardi Gras fes-tivities, was epic. The afterglow has lasted intoApril, when the Saints gathered to begin offsea-son workouts for 2010.

“You want to hold on to those memories, butyou better realize, that's done now. I've still gotthe fight and the hunger. When you win one,you really believe you can do it again, and youwant to prove you can,” he said.

That's a jazz riff that's music to the ears ofSaints fans, and it's a way of life for BillJohnson. The challenges never end, but nowhis sense of accomplishment will never fade,either. Nor will his pride in NSU, as he told thisyear's Demon football team in a spring visit.

“Everywhere I've been, every Sunday morn-ing, I'm checking the paper to see how theDemons did,” said Johnson. “This is where mylife's destiny was set. I found what I was sup-posed to do. I found the woman to spend mylife with. I made lifelong friends. No matterwhere I go, this will always be home.”

Dr. Randall J. WebbNorthwestern State President

Dr. Randall J. Webb stated when hebecame Northwestern State University’s 17thpresident in July of 1996 that his primary objec-tive would be to help make his Alma Mater thebest institution it could be. It is apparent aftermore 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 ofall eligible academic programs.

Enrollment has reached record levels during Webb’s tenure as presi-dent 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 uni-versity toward higher admission standards, which has resulted in someenrollment declines but in the enrollment of students with greater aca-demic potential and aptitude.

Retention has increased at the university, the average ACT score ofstudents has gone up, and high school student leaders are enrolling inNorthwestern in record numbers. There has been a substantialincrease in the number of high school valedictorians and salutatoriansamong first-time freshmen at the university.

External funding for NSU has also increased dramatically underWebb’s leadership. In the first capital campaign in its history, the univer-sity received $32.7 million to far exceed its goal of $18.84 million. Thatfunding included the establishment of numerous endowed chairs andprofessorships to enhance academic programs at the university. Inaddition to the private funding, Northwestern has received more grantmonies in recent years from state and federal agencies and private foun-dations than at any time since its founding in 1884.

Webb has also expanded the university’s outreach by spearheadingthe development at NSU of the largest electronic education and distancelearning network of any university in Louisiana. NSU offers courses anddegree programs to students across the nation and world throughInternet and compressed video.

Millions of dollars have been obtained during Webb’s presidency fornew and renovated facilities. A new $6.9 million Wellness, Recreationand Activity Center opened on the campus in 2005; and Morrison Hall,the Family and Consumer Sciences Building, and Williamson Hall havebeen completely renovated and restored. Over $32 million in construc-tion by a private company has added two modified residence halls to thecampus in recent years. Funding has also been obtained to rebuild theEast and West Caspari Halls, and replace the underground electrical dis-tribution system.

Northwestern academic programs and athletic teams continue toreceive positive national recognition. The Computer InformationSystems program, for example, won five consecutive national champi-onships in academic competition in systems analysis, and the NSUmen’s basketball team defeated Iowa in the NCAA national champi-onship tournament.

A former center on the Northwestern football team, Webb is an avidsupporter of the university’s athletic programs and has held positions ofleadership at the national level in intercollegiate athletics. He hasserved as chair of the board of directors of the Southland Conferenceand has been a member of the prestigious NCAA Executive Council andthe NCAA Division I Board of Directors that oversee all major policy deci-sions by the governing body for major college sports. He currentlyserves as the Southland Conference representative on the NCAAPresidential Advisory Group.

A 1965 graduate of Northwestern in mathematics and business edu-cation, Webb earned a master of science degree in mathematics from

NSU in 1966. He received a doctorate in education from the Universityof Southern Mississippi in 1971 with a concentration in mathematics andresearch.

Webb was a member of the faculty of Longwood College in Farmville,VA, from 1966 until 1974. He served as Director of Higher Educationand Teacher Certification in the Louisiana Department of Education from1974 through 1976. Hemoved to SoutheasternLouisiana University in 1976and in 13 years there heldpositions as director of insti-tutional research, EEO offi-cer, registrar and member ofthe mathematics faculty.

He became Dean ofInstruction and GraduateStudies and professor ofmathematics atNorthwestern in 1989. Inthat position, he was respon-sible for campus-wide policy development, planning, advancement, andreview of both graduate and undergraduate programs. While Webb wasin that position, graduate enrollment increased by 35 percent, and inter-nal funding for faculty research increased by 200 percent.

As dean, Webb proposed the concept for NSU’s successful FreshmanConnection Program and served as a member of the writing team for agrant proposal that resulted in a five year, $1.7 million Title III grant toimprove student retention. He also chaired the steering committee forNSU’s Self Study for the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools.

He has been active in the community as a member of the board ofdirectors of the Natchitoches Chamber of Commerce and as a memberof the Association for the Preservation of Historic Natchitoches, theNatchitoches Historic Foundation, the Natchitoches-NorthwesternSymphony Society, Rotary Club, and the First Baptist Church.

Webb and his wife Brenda have two daughters, both honor graduatesof Northwestern. Tamara and her husband, former NSU All-Americabaseball pitcher Reggie Gatewood, live in McKinney, Texas, with theirchildren Tyler and Ava. Lauren is married to former outstanding NSUbaseball player Nick Simokaitis, and they live in St. Louis with their sonsNicholas and Benjamin.

Jerry Pierce is the Cal Ripken of the Northwestern Stateathletic 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 alwaystaking an understated profile, seeing himself as a role player.

Beginning his 46th year on the university's staff, Pierce'simpact on NSU and the city of Natchitoches can't be measured as easily as Ripkin'sBaseball Hall of Fame statistics, but they are equally indelible.

He begins his 21st year as vice president of external affairs at Northwestern. A sig-nificant aspect of his job is oversight of intercollegiate athletics. Pierce works closelywith athletic director Greg Burke and all NSU coaches and staff members to keep

Northwestern athletics competing at a championship levelweek after week, month after month and year after year.

Pierce is an avid tennis player who has been a memberof USTA teams that have won more than a dozen state cham-pionships, five regional titles and one national championship.

Well before moving into the executive position, Piercehad already served his alma mater, adopted hometown andstate with distinction. In his role as vice president, he over-sees university operations in athletics, alumni and develop-ment, public and media relations and assists President Dr.Randall J. Webb in governmental affairs activities. Many ofthose duties were his since the 1970s as he worked underfour previous presidents as Northwestern advanced fromNAIA to NCAA College Division to NCAA Division I athleticstatus in 1977.

A 1961 graduate of Northwestern, Pierce served as trainerfor the Demon football team during his college years, workingclosely with legendary coach Jack Clayton. After earning hisjournalism degree, Pierce went to work for the New OrleansTimes Picayune, serving as a reporter and editor. He wasnamed executive sports editor at the age of 24.

In 1965, he chose to raise his two sons in Natchitoches andreturned to NSU as sports information director. He was pro-moted to news bureau director two years later and assumedadditional 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 establishedannual induction activities that remain in place nearly four decades later, and servedas director of the Hall for 19 years until his promotion to vice president forced him tostep 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 pastpresident of the Southland and has served the conference through other offices andcommittee positions.

In 1994, he was named one of Louisiana's 20 most influential sports figures by theTimes-Picayune. Also on the list were New Orleans Saints owner Tom Benson, LSUathletic director Joe Dean and basketball coach Dale Brown, and Grambling footballcoaching legend Eddie Robinson.

His salesmanship and managerial skills were instrumental in convincing Tri-StarProductions to film the 1989 smash hit movie Steel Magnolias, with an all-star castincluding Julia Roberts, Sally Field and Dylan McDermott in Natchitoches and on theNSU campus. The movie's impact on tourism in Natchitoches continues to resonatemore than a decade later.

Pierce is regarded as one of the most effective legislative liaisons for Louisiana'shigher education system. He is also a popular after dinner speaker and master of cer-emonies who has spoken at hundreds of events since 1965.

In addition to his administrative responsibilities, Pierce is a member of the JournalismDepartment faculty. He is the author of one book and editor of two others and haswritten thousands of editorials, columns, features and other articles for newspapersand magazines.

Pierce and his wife Regina, a teacher, live on Cane River Lake in Natchitoches. Hehas two sons, Randy and Rick, both NSU graduates; and three grandchildren, twinsEvan and Amanda, 21, and Miranda, 10, and two stepchildren, Nicholas and Natalie.

Athletic Administration


Beginning his 15th year as director of athleticsat Northwestern State, Greg Burke has receivednational acclaim for the job he's done in his adopt-ed hometown.

Athletics director at Northwestern since speak-ing at the annual NSU/Independence Bowl KickoffLuncheon on August 29, 1996, Burke is thelongest-serving AD at any Louisiana institution.

He has steered NSU athletics to many of itsgreatest accomplishments while overseeing a program that has fielded cham-pionship caliber teams in nearly all of the school's NCAADivision I sports.

In June, he was included among 29 winners of the UnderAmour AD of the Year Award presented by the NationalAssociation of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA).

He was also among four winners chosen to be involvedin a Street and Smith's SportsBusiness Journal panel dis-cussion on current Division I athletics issues. Joining NSU'sBurke were Purdue's Morgan Burke (no relation), Samford'sBob Roller and Lee Fowler of North Carolina State, with thetranscript of their discussion distributed to national media bythe Sports Business Daily. Burke is the 2010-11 presidentof the Football Championship Subdivision Athletics DirectorsAssociation.

Burke's 14 years as athletic director include 32Southland Conference regular-season or tournament cham-pionships, 51 All-American and Academic All-American stu-dent athletes, and three U.S. Olympic competitors.Seventeen NSU teams have taken part in NCAA or WNITpostseason competition.

Under his guidance, Northwestern State has led all 13 public institutions inLouisiana, and all 12 Southland Conference institutions, in the NCAA'sAcademic Progress Rate and Graduation Success Rate reports. The school'sathletic facilities have undergone nearly $6 million in improvements in the pastfour years.

NSU in 2004-05 became the first (and remains the only) SouthlandConference member in the league's five decades of history to sweep football,men's basketball and baseball championships in the same athletic year. It'sbeen 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 MichiganState in 1979-80.

Those accomplishments have come with one of the more modest athleticbudgets in the state and conference. Burke's management skill and fundrais-ing ability have been pivotal.

Burke generated a $2 million series of sponsorships for new scoreboardsinstalled 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 tonational prominence in subsequent positions.

Some of his best hires remain on staff at NSU. Two, basketball's MikeMcConathy and soccer's Jimmy Mitchell, guided Northwestern in NCAATournament play in their second seasons and have been back to postseasonsince. NSU's 2006 basketball team scored one of the most memorable upsetsin the history of March Madness, coming from 17 down to stun No. 15-rankedIowa 64-63.

Burke has selected head coaches who have subsequently been hired byAlabama, Florida, Missouri, New Mexico, Kentucky, Virginia, Mississippi Stateand Wichita State.

From his first day on the job, Burke has stressed the importance of havinga balanced athletic program. To that end, tremendous competitive strideshave been made in women's athletics under his guidance. The NSU soccerprogram was the first one in Louisiana ever to reach the NCAA Tournament.Volleyball set attendance records and made its best-ever showings in confer-ence play in recent years. In softball, NSU posted the nation's most improvedwin total in 2010 regular-season play under second-year coach DonaldPickett. The Lady Demons joined Stanford as the only women's tennis pro-grams in the country in 2010 with only one regular-season loss, while sweep-ing Southland regular-season and tournament titles and making a first-everNCAA 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 whichhas been set within the NSU athletic program as it relates to academicachievement and community service.

The academic accomplishments are reflected annually in the NCAA's APRand GSR studies. Community service by NSU student-athletes, coaches andstaff more than doubled to over 5,000 hours in 2009-10.

Recently, 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, PersonalResponsibility, Competitive Success … Every Minute, Every Hour, Every Day!”

In 2005, Burke was one of three recipients of the All-America FootballFoundation's Gen. Robert R. Neyland Outstanding Athletic Director Award andthat same year, was also tabbed as one of two Natchitoches Parish CenlaNewsmakers of 2005 by the Alexandria Town Talk newspaper's editorial staff.

He received the 2006 “Outstanding Alumni Award” from hisalma mater, Marlington High School in Alliance, Ohio, recog-nizing his community service and professional achieve-ments. Burke became one of only 21 alumni honored sincethe award was instituted in 1982.

In June 2006, he was a featured speaker and panelist atthe National Association of Collegiate Athletic Directors con-vention in New Orleans, addressing members of the CollegeAthletic Business Managers of America and also participat-ing in a panel discussion of "Fundraising from an AthleticDirector's Perspective" speaking to the National Associationof Athletic Development Directors.

Since 2007, Burke has been a member of the prestigiousNCAA Championships/Sports Management Cabinet, a 49-person panel which makes recommendations to the NCAABoard 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 concurrentlyserved a term on the eight-member NCAA FCS Committeethat administers the national playoffs. Since his committee

term expired, Burke has served as a site supervisor for Football ChampionshipSubdivision playoff games across the nation and he is regarded as one of thecountry's premiere advocates of FCS football. He currently is third vice-pres-ident of the FCS Athletic Director's Association.

In 2004, NSU received the highest possible rating, "fully certified," from theNational Collegiate Athletic Association, affirming that Northwestern operatesits athletic program in substantial conformity with operating principles adoptedby the NCAA Division I membership.

Burke is a past president of the Natchitoches Kiwanis Club and remainsactive in that civic group. He has also been part of the steering committee forthe Natchitoches Christmas Festival and is a former president of theNatchitoches Area Jaycees. He is involved with the American HeartAssociation and was 2010 March of Dimes chairman locally.

He and his wife, Susu, a Natchitoches native, NSU graduate and elemen-tary teacher, have a 16-year-old daughter, Catherine, who is a junior at St.Mary's High School, a cheerleader, the point guard on the Lady Tigers basket-ball team, and a member of the tennis team.

Faculty Athletic Representative Jody Biscoe is Associate Professorof Psychology and Addiction Studies at Northwestern State, where heis the coordinator for the undergraduate Addiction Studies, andSubstance Abuse/Prevention concentrations. Since 2006, he has

served as Faculty Athletic Representative for NSU. This role includes the chair of theNSU Athletic Council.

Since 2006, Northwestern State University has made numerous paradigm shifts inhow it addresses the needs of student-athletes; however, one thing has been consis-tent in that its student-athletes are winners on the field and in the classroom. All haveheard about higher educational institutions being penalized by the NCAA for academ-ic improprieties. NSU has attempted to be a model program of “Doing Things theRight Way,” by following the Athletic Department motto: Great Tradition – BrighterFutures. This past year, NSU was one of only four schools in the State of Louisianathat did not receive any penalties for low NCAA Academic Progress Rates (APR) withbaseball, soccer, softball, tennis, women’s indoor & outdoor track, and volleyball rat-ing in the top three in the Southland Conference. Among the 40 Northwestern Statestudent-athletes and athletic staff members who graduated in spring 2010, 10 of the20 receiving undergraduate degrees graduated either cum laude or magna cumlaude. Graduation rates of student-athletes in soccer, volleyball, men’s basketball,baseball and football ranked in the top four of the Conference. These accomplish-ments could not have been achieved without the support and efforts of the student-athletes, coaches, faculty, and administration.

Also, Jody is the Director for the Louisiana Addiction Technology Transfer Centerat NSU. He has served on the National Addiction Technology Transfer Center's(ATTC) - Practice and National Leadership Institute Committee. In addition, he hascoordinated five nationally recognized leadership institutes for Louisiana, Texas andNew Mexico and a member of the National ATTC Leadership Directors Committee.Recently, he was appointed to the NAADAC - National Addiction Studies & StandardsCollaborative Committee. This past year, Jody was selected to serve on the UnitedStates Health and Human Services – Substance Abuse & Mental Health ServiceAdministration 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!

One of the most accomplished student-athletes ever at NorthwesternState (see page 97), two-time football All-America center WilliamBroussard returned to his alma mater in February 2007 as the

Director of External Relations, coordinating fundraising activities through the AthleticAssociation and Demon Victory Fund.

After re-branding the annual fund campaign the Demon Victory Fund (DVF) in2007, the DVF enjoyed its most successful year up to that point. The 2008-09 DVFonce again broke the annual record for total revenues, number of Athletic Associationmembers, and Select 100 Members on the way to establishing a new benchmark forannual, unrestricted support of the NSU Athletic Department. Under Broussard’s guid-ance, the NSU Athletic Association has set four consecutive annual total attainmentrecords, secured the largest scholarship endowment and largest planned gift in thehistory of NSU Athletics.

In the 2009-10 year, the NSU Athletic Association established or tied several annu-al records under Broussard’s guidance, including annual records for total operatingrevenues, gift-in-kind donations, number of commitments to the Endowed ScholarshipProgram (9), and number of Select 100 members (197). Broussard also assisted inraising more than $100,000 in support for renovations to the Athletic Field House.

The Southland Conference


Frisco, Texas, which has been home to the Southland Conference office since 2006, is the newhost city for the 2010 NCAA Division I Football Championship game, which will played at Pizza HutPark on Jan. 7, 2011. The 23,500-seat multi-purpose stadium will be the host site for the champi-onship game for the next three years.

“Touchdown! We can't wait for college football to come to Frisco,” said Frisco mayor MaherMaso. “Frisco is a sports town and a Division I Football Championship is another chance for sportsfans everywhere to not only experience great football but to also discover all our community has tooffer. 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 DevelopmentCorporation and Convention & Visitors Bureau, Hunt Sports Group/Pizza Hut Park, the FriscoChamber of Commerce and the Southland Conference.

“The Southland Conference is honored and privileged to serve as the host conference for theNCAA Division I Football Championship Game,” said Southland Commissioner Tom Burnett. “Sincebeginning the planning process last August, our Team Frisco local organizing committee hasworked diligently to bring this national championship to Pizza Hut Park. We also knew from the startour community would support this effort. Given all the built-in advantages of Frisco and the greater Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area, we alwaysfelt 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 2010season. The championship game will be the culmination of a newly expanded 20-team championship bracket. As a result of this expansion, the gamewill 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, inaddition 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 sea-son and the championship experience.

The decision to award the championship site to Frisco, Texas, was recommended by the Division I Football Championship Committee andapproved 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 baseballand 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 serveas the site for the Division I football championship is indeed Frisco.”

The SLC will serve as host of the NCAA Division I Football Championship

• 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.

GAME 10: FOURTH-QUARTER MISCUES DOOM DEMONS, 28-21Two fourth-quarter turnovers and a holding penalty that erased a tying touchdown foiled Northwestern's comeback bid in a bitterly disappointingdefeat 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 theDemons' 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 inter-ception inside the 10 to doom NSU.

2009 Game Recaps


GAME 11: LUMBERJACKS HOLD OFF DEMONS, CLAIM CHIEF CADDONorthwestern 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 SFAon even terms throughout a rainy afternoon at Turpin Stadium in the annual "Battle for Chief Caddo." The Lumberjacks blocked a pair of field goals,35 and 37 yards, in the closing minutes of the game to preserve a two-score lead.

Nathan Black in 2001.

Demon All-Americans


Billed as “The Terminator” for his All-America campaign in 1991, senior line-backer Andre’ Carron stacked up a pile of

awards and accomplishments. A consensus All-American, theOpelousas native was the Football Gazette I-AA DefensivePlayer 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 (TheBuchanan Award didn’t’ exist yet, but Carron would have wonit). 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.

Truly one of themost gifted ath-letes ever to playat Northwestern,Dodd set anational record

with 31 career interceptions, a markthat still stands as state and schoolrecords. On the unbeaten 1966Demons’ squad, Dodd was thebiggest star, earning All-America hon-ors and an invitation to play in theSenior Bowl. He moved across theball to receiver in the NFL, playingmost of his 7 seasons for the fledglingNew Orleans Saints, finishing with111 career receptions for 1,803 yardsafter beginning as a defensive back in1967 for Chicago. His 17-yard recep-tion with two seconds left in a 1969game set up Tom Dempsey’s NFLrecord 63-yard field goal to beat theDetroit Lions.

A rugged offensive guard, thisAbbeville native was the

Demons’ first football All-American in his senior sea-son, 1938. He also became the school’s first NFLDraft pick, going in the second round of the 1939draft to Philadelphia. Recently married, he was ableto make more money by staying at NSU to coach forHarry Turpin than by playing pro ball. He stayed for50 years, eventually serving as registrar after acoaching career that earned him membership in theLouisiana Sports Hall of Fame. Ledet was pivotal in

the careers of Demon greats Jackie Smith, Charlie Hennigan and Charlie Tolar.

Walter LedetGuard - 1938

He could have accepted a scholarship toplay for Army, but Springhill native JohnKing headed south to NSU and the

Demons got one of their more versatile and productive offen-sive linemen. King earned All-America honors as a senior in1990 at center after playing all five interior line positions inhis career, as a four-year starter. In 1988, he played guardas the Demons set school records for points, touchdownsand 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 coach-ing career with the Demons.

Demon All-Americans


Marcus Spears and Jerry Rice are the only two Division I-AAplayers ever to be elected to the Football Writers of America All-

America Team. Rice made it in his senior year, 1986. Spears, a returning All-America offensive tackle for the Demons entering his senior year, joined playersfrom Notre Dame, Virginia Tech, Nebraska, and Georgia, among others, on the1993 FWAA squad. He also was a semifinalist for the Outland Trophy given to thenation’s best offensive lineman, becoming the first and only Division I-AA playerconsidered 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, andhad one scholarship offer, from Coach Sam Goodwin and the Demons.

Earning All-America honors in two straight seasons (1998,1999) at center would be enough to earn William Broussard a

place among the Demons’ all-time greats, but his greatest achievements came aca-demically. The Crowley native, one of only seven two-time All-Americans in NSUhistory, was one of 15 National Football Foundation Scholar-Athletes recognizedfrom all levels of college football in 1999. The Crowley native was one of only 10college 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.

He proved too small for the NFL, but Jermaine Jones came uphuge 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 awayfrom winning the Buck Buchanan Award as Division I-AA’s top defensive performeras NSU won the SLC title and reached the I-AA semifinals. He was the SLC’s over-

all “Player of the Year” and the “Defensive Player of the Year” on the All-Louisiana team after shatter-ing NSU’s season and career records for pass breakups.

Demon Traditions


A L L - A M E R I C A N SIn 101 seasons of intercollegiate football, 39 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 andassistant football coach, was the school’s first All-American in 1938. Onlyeight players — safety Al Dodd in 1965-66, tailback Joe Delaney in 1979-80,linebacker Gary Reasons in 1981-83, offensive tackle Marcus Spears in1992-93, center William Broussard in 1998-99, safety Mike Green also in1998-99, linebacker Jamall Johnson in 2003-04, and defensive tackle ToryCollins in 2005 and 2006 — won All-America honors in more than one sea-son. Reasons became the first three-time All-American in Division I-AA his-tory. In 1993, Marcus Spears became only the second I-AA player ever(along with Jerry Rice) to make the Football Writers Association of AmericaAll-America team. William Broussard and Mike Green, members of thememorable 1998 team which advanced to the national semi-finals for thefirst time in the program's history, are the only two teammates atNorthwestern to earn All-America status in consecutive seasons.

C H I E F C A D D OAt 7 feet, 6-inches tall and 320 pounds, Chief Caddo is the biggest tro-

phy in college football. The wooden Indian statue is awarded to the winnerof each year’s Northwestern vs. Stephen F. Austin game. The stately Chief

is symbolic of the kinshipbetween the cities ofNatchitoches andNacogdoches, home ofSFA. He was named “ChiefCaddo” to honor the Indiantribe that not only first set-tled the two communities,but provided safety for theearly white settlers in thearea. The statue originatedin 1960, whenNorthwestern and SFAdecided the loser of their1961 game would have atree chopped down from itsnearby forest to be sent tothe winning school, whowould have a statuecarved. The Demons wonthat 1961 matchup 35-19and SFA delivered a 2,000-pound black gum log toNorthwestern. HaroldGreen of Logansport spentover 230 hours carving thestatue.

Since the Demons andLumberjacks have been

playing for Chief Caddo, Northwestern holds a 28-15-1 advantage in theseries. In the 48 years of the Chief’s life, he’s spent 33 in Natchitoches. Thetwo 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 anSFA coach admitted a few years ago that the Chief seemed to likeNatchitoches, blaming it on meat pies and Cajun cooking. But veteranNorthwestern followers know his allegiance goes even deeper. After all, ifyou were a wooden statue, would you want to spend time around a bunch ofLumberjacks?

F L A M I N G N L O G OThe distinctive Northwestern athletic logo was designed in 1984 by for-

mer Demon kicker Dale Quickel. The outline of Louisiana was added in1999.

C O N F E R E N C E C H A M P I O N SSince 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 GulfSouth crown in 1972, then shared the Gulf Star Conference championship in1984. Northwestern won the Southland Conference title in 1988 with a 20-17victory at No. 1-ranked Stephen F. Austin in the final game of the regularseason. 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 6-1 conference mark and in 2004, NSU shared the title with Sam HoustonState after posting a 4-1 league mark.

T H E D E L A N E Y M E M O R I A LEstablished 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 scram-ble golf tournament. Over $200,000 has been generated for the scholarshipfund named for the heroic Delaney, the 1981 AFC Rookie of the Year whodied in a 1983 attempt to rescue three drowning children. One survived.

D E M O N D R E S S I N G R O O M E T I Q U E T T EWhatever 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 theroom on the plush purple carpet. If you do, you risk the rath of the entiresenior class.

T H E G E O R G E D O H E R T Y W I N GThe Demon football offices, as well as the offices for the track and

baseball coaching staffs, are located on the second floor of the NSUFieldhouse. On June 8, 1991, the area was named “The George DohertyWing” in memory of the former Demon head coach and athletic director, whospearheaded planning of the ultramodern facility.

F I G H T S O N GWhen Bill Brent’s Spirit of Northwestern Marching Band plays it, the

music is called “Trio to British Eighth March” but the lyrics lend a distinctDemon flair:

All Northwestern players learn the fight song during their first week of pre-season practice as Demons. The team sings the song after each win.

H O W W E B E C A M E T H E D E M O N SIn 1923, when Northwestern was known as Louisiana Normal College,

President V.L. Roy and Coach H. Lee Prather held a contest, open to stu-dents, to choose a nickname for Normal’s athletic teams. A $10 prize, donat-ed by the athletic department, was on the line. Names suggested includedthe Gridiron Knights,Daredevils, Boosters,Sharks, Cannons,Deers, Muskateers,Invicibles, GroundHogs, Royalists,C y c l o p s ,B l o o d h o u n d s ,Professors, CannonBalls, Wasps, andRattlesnakes. A com-mittee tabbed two:Braves and Demons.After a vote of the stu-dents, Aileen Ritterand TruettScarborough split the$10 because eachhad suggested“Demons.”

Demon Traditions


S TA D I U M N A M E S A K E SAt least four Demon coaches have stadiums named after them. NSU’s Turpin

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 grewup in Natchitoches, played for the Demons and was an assistant coach on the1939 undefeated team before being hired as head coach of the rival Bulldogs.Brown replaced him on Turpin’s staff, which also included Ledet.

R E T I R E D J E R S E YSHundreds of players have worn the Purple and White in the nine

decades of Northwestern football, but only five have had their jerseynumbers permanently retired. Al Dodd (41), an All-American on theunbeaten 1966 team, was the first to receive this honor. Joe Delaney’sNo. 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 jerseyworn by Bobby Hebert was retired during halftime ceremonies of home-coming.

T H E S TAT E FA I R C L A S S I CGone, but not forgotten. For 40 years, old rivals Northwestern and

Louisiana Tech played in Shreveport during the first weekend of theLouisiana State Fair. After the game, players and fans from both teamsoften made their way down the midway, enjoying the rides and carnivalgames. The series ended when Louisiana Tech withdrew after the 1987meeting, halting what at the time was the South’s oldest active DivisionI-AA rivalry. The teams played for “The Rag,” a banner displaying namesand colors of both schools which hung in the Student Union of the win-ning team for the next year.

T R I D E N T T E S TEach spring and before fall practice, the Demon players go through

a series of strength, speed and conditioning tests. Since three aspectsof athleticism are being tested, they were named “Trident Tests” by thecoaching staff. Each player is awarded an overall grade based on hiscombined ranking among all team members in every test. The winnerreceives the Kirt Straughter Memorial Award, named in honor of the1989 Trident Test winner who drowned that year.

SPIRIT OF NORTHWESTERN MARCHING BANDNearly 300 strong, the dynamic Northwestern band has never lost a

halftime show under the direction of director Bill Brent. The band’senthusiasm was a major factor, said Coach Sam Goodwin, asNorthwestern’s “Road Warriors” won key SLC games at North Texasand 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 VICOn September 22, 1984, the Demon

mascot received his official name bymeans of another contest, sponsored bythe Athletic Department. The contest wasopen to faculty, staff, and students. Theobjective to find a name for the Demon.Over 300 entries were submitted to thecommittee. The grand prize was an allexpense paid weekend at the LouisianaState Fair Classic. Ray Carney, an alumof the University, was the official winnerwith "Vic" which is short for "Victory."

VIC THE DEMON 1, CHIEF BRAVE SPIRIT 0Few events in Southland Conference history attracted as much

attention as the Oct. 24, 1992, spontaneous scrap betweenNorthwestern's mascot, Vic the Demon, and Northeast's Chief BraveSpirit. "The Tussle in Turpin" happened midway through the second

quarter of the Homecoming game. KTBS-TV's Sam Schaecter made ithis "Play of the Day" and the footage was picked up by ESPN -- whodeclared Vic the victor. Even Monroe's News-Star newspaper andKNOE-TV conceded the decision to Vic, who rallied after the Chiefknocked off his head. Scott Ostler of the San Francisco Chronicle calledit "the fight of the year" and wrote, "Vic won a unanimous decision. It'sbeen a long time since I've seen a fight where someone's head actuallygets ripped off -- and yet he rallies to win!"

The footage made its way around the country, appearing on CNNSports Tonight, ESPN College Gameday, NBC's Today Show, KNBC inLos Angeles, WUSA in Washington, D.C., and many other TV outlets.USA TODAY featured the mascot melee in its Oct. 28, 1992 issue. Atyear's end, the fight was named -- by viewer vote -- fourth on CNN'sPlays of the Year" show. The frisky mascots met again, with plenty offanfare but no altercation, when NLU visited for a Jan. 30 basketballgame.

Shane Clabaugh, thesenior social work major whoserved as Vic, explained:"After he tore my head off,that was it. That goesagainst the code of ethics formascots." Clabaugh said hewon: "I scored a takedown. Iwas mad because heknocked my head off. I want-ed to take off his head -- hisreal one."

DEMONS IN THE NFL DRAFT

NFL FOCUSED ON NSU IN THE 1999 DRAFT

Two Demon greats have won pro Rookie of the Year awards. Tailback Joe Delaney was the 1981 AFC Rookie of theYear when he earned a trip to the Pro Bowl and was named Chiefs MVP after establishing a then-franchise record with1,121 rushing yards, leading Kansas City to its first winning season since 1973. Seven years later, after breakingDelaney’s Demon career rushing record, tailback John Stephens won the Associated Press NFL Offensive Rookie ofthe Year honor after running for 1,168 yards for New England.

ROOKIES OF THE YEAR

Among the dozens of former Demons to play pro ball, there are an elite group whose careers stretched for many years.Topping the list is Pro Football Hall of Fame tight end Jackie Smith, who played 16 years (1963-78). Pro Bowl quarterbackBobby Hebert played in the NFL from 1985-96 (11 seasons) after three years starring in the USFL, getting a total of 14 proseasons. All-Pro receiver Mark Duper spent 11 seasons in the NFL (1982-1992), as did offensive lineman Marcus Spears(1995-2005). Receiver Floyd Turner got in 10 seasons (1989-1998) as did safety Mike Green (2000-2009). LinebackerGary Reasons played 9 years (1984-1992), as did cornerback Randy Hilliard (1990-1998). Receiver Al Dodd (1967-74) had8 NFL seasons, ong with offensive guard Petey Perot (1979-85), cornerback Kenny Wright (1999-2008). All-time AFLgreats Charlie Hennigan and Charlie Tolar starred for the Houston Oilers for 7 years (1960-66), while Terrence McGee com-pleted his seventh season in 2009 while signing a four-year contract with Buffalo.

DEMONS WITH NFL LONGEVITY

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

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

When the American Football League was created in 1960, former Demon track star and football playerCharlie Hennigan was teaching biology and coaching at Jonesboro-Hodge High School, having been cutby the CFL’s Edmonton Eskimos. Demon All-America fullback Charlie Tolar was drafted by Pittsburgh, butcut in 1959. They were among 160 hopefuls who participated in an AFL tryout camp for the Houston fran-chise, and both beat the odds to make the team. Each became instant All-AFL stars who made the Oilers’All-Time Team in the mid-1990s, voted by fans. Hennigan set pro records with 1,746 receiving yards in1961 and 101 catches in 1964, marks that remained for 20-plus years. The 1,746 receiving yards still isthird all-time, topped only by Jerry Rice and Isaac Bruce. Hennigan holds NFL records for consecutive 100-yard receiving games (7) and most 200-yard receiving games (3) in a season, and ranks second all-timewith 10 100-yard receiving games in a season. Tolar’s 5-6, 220-pound frame earned him nicknames like“Tank” and “The Human Bowling Ball” and his bullish style made him a hero to future NFL star LarryCsonka while earning him a pair of All-AFL honors. His colorful lifestyle earned him a line in a Willie Nelsonsong: “Men like Charlie Tolar, when they made him, they broke the mold.”

LEGENDS OF THE AFL, HENNIGAN AND TOLAR

For a track standout whose hurdling skills made him most attractive to the Demons coming out of Kentwood High School, Jackie Smithmade the most of his opportunity at NSU from 1959-62. His stats in football were modest in the run-based offenses of the early 1960s,but his size and speed interested pro scouts. Few 10th-round draft picks have worked out so spectacularly. Smith’s rugged style, com-bined with his speed and athleticism, redefined the positon of tight end in the NFL in the late 1960s. He made five straight Pro Bowlappearances for the St. Louis Cardinals from 1966-70 and retired after the 1978 season as the NFL’s all-time leading tight end with 480career catches for 7,918 yards. He played in 121 consecutive games. In 1994, Kentwood came to Canton. The “Ole Redhead” was induct-ed in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

THE OLE REDHEAD, JACKIE SMITH

Among the 34 Demons chosen in the NFL Draft, two hold a special distinction – they werethe last players chosen in that year’s draft. Receiver Mike Almond was the 330th and lastselection in 1979, going to the Super Bowl champion Pittsburgh Steelers. Safety MikeGreen went as the 248th choice in the 2000 draft, to Chicago. They were each the guestsof honor for the “Irrelevant Week” celebration in Newport Beach, Cal., in June, makingNSU the only program to have two “Mr. Irrelevants” in the 29-year history of the festivities.Almond made it to the last cut but the Steelers had receivers Lynn Swann and JohnStallworth, both in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Green not only made the Bears’ roster,he was their second-leading tackler over his last six seasons and before he was traded toNFC champion Seattle.

LAST BUT NOT LEAST - MR. IRRELEVANT

Along with winning the 1988 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year award, former NSU tailback John Stephens was awarded the first GaleSayers Humanitarian Citation in 1988. Stephens was the choice of a committee headed by Sayers, the Hall of Fame running back whostarred for the Chicago Bears. The award is given to the National Football League rookie demonstrating the most outstanding commitmentof time and effort toward a personally designated charitable organization, which in Stephens's case was the Roxbury (Mass.)Comprehensive Community Health Center.

ROOKIE STAR, VETERAN STYLE

The Turtle came out of his shell in a big way. Cornerback Terrence McGee earned the nickname “Turtle” because of the way he wore hisshoulder pads around his head until the last possible moment before preseason practices, to keep his head in the shade. McGee becamea starter as a true freshman, and became a star a year later. He ran three punts back for touchdowns, broke the NCAA single-seasonrecord for punt return yardage and today stands as the Division I-AA all-time record holder for best career punt return average (17.6, 1999-2002). In his second pro season, 2004, he made the Pro Bowl as a return specialist and has emerged as one of the NFL’s better covercornerbacks for Buffalo.

THE TURTLE, ALL-PRO TERRENCE MCGEE

For musicians, it’s the cover of the Rolling Stone. For athletes, being a Sports Illustrated coverboyis the ultimate. Two Demon greats have been there. All-Pro Mark Duper was the subject for the Nov.19, 1984 issue showcasing the unbeaten Miami Dolphins, In the Oct. 7, 1991 edition, Saints quar-terback Bobby Hebert was on the cover illustrating the “Saints Alive” story saluting their best startever. NSU products Jackie Smith, Joe Delaney and Hebert have been profiled inside the maga-zine, and in 2005, Marcus Spears provided the “Best Joke I Can Tell in Public” for SI readers.

DEMONS ON THE SI COVER

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