Southland Conference Football Play Begins Saturday
Demons host Bearkats on FSN-Southwest at 7 p.m.
Oct. 6, 2006
NATCHITOCHES, La. - After allowing only two field goals and an average of just 172.5 yards per game in the last two outings, Northwestern State's Purple Swarm defense is drawing comparisons to the tenacity it displayed in 2002-04, when NSU ranked among the nation's leaders each season.
The Purple Swarm defense and the entire NSU team face a big test at home Saturday night when Sam Houston State visits Turpin Stadium in the Southland Conference opener for both teams. Kickoff is 7 o'clock in a regionally-televised (FSN Southwest) matchup between schools that shared the 2004 SLC title.
The Bearkats (2-2) use a spread offense that will rely on talented running back D.D. Terry and a rapid-fire passing game, said Demons coach Scott Stoker on Wednesday. Terry ran for 85 yards last week at Texas, piling up more yards rushing by himself against the Longhorns than did the entire offensive units from Ohio State, Iowa State, Rice or North Texas.
