Scrimmage #1 for the Demons goes to the Purple Swarm. The Demons are really not at the top of the conference preseason polls as they have been before, but Stoker's bunch will not back down...
Defense takes charge, despite two long TDs, in first scrimmage
8/11/2007
FOOTBALL: Three touchdowns scored, but Coach Stoker gives the Purple Swarm defense the upper hand in the two-hour scrimmage; stats follow story below
NATCHITOCHES — A 95-yard kickoff return by Dudley Guice, a 64-yard touchdown strike from Drew Branch to Jasper Edwards and 124 all-purpose yards from true freshman Jeremy Jefferson Saturday morning were highlights in the first fullscale scrimmage of preseason football camp at Northwestern State.
Sophomore safety Gary Riggs had six tackles and a sensational effort to force a fumble, leading the Purple Swarm defense, which head coach Scott Stoker said clearly had the upper hand during the two-hour, 100-play scrimmage at Turpin Stadium.
The first of three major preseason scrimmages was the 10th workout this month by the Demons, who kick off their 100th year of intercollegiate football competition with two home games, Sept. 1 against Henderson State and Sept. 8 against Southland Conference newcomer Central Arkansas.
