Quite a few injured Demons sitting on the sidelines, but it was Greg Skidmore who really made a difference. 90 yards with 64 yards on eight carries. Seven carries for 21 yards if you erase his huge 43 yard run.

Player to keep an eye on seems to be the walk-on Charpentier who redshirted last year. He went 11/21 in this scrimmage for 119 yards and is 39/58 overall in the three scrimmages played. Could the Demons have a walkout work wonders?

NATCHITOCHES – Greg Skidmore’s 43-yard touchdown run highlighted the 16th Annual Joe Delaney Bowl spring football game Saturday at Northwestern State, while Charlie Brooks’ 8-yard TD return of an acrobatic interception ended the game and capped the Demons’ spring practices.

Skidmore, a senior tailback from Baton Rouge-Catholic, was named the game’s MVP after accounting for 90 yards with 64 rushing on eight carries and 26 on three receptions. He took a sweep left, cut back to the middle of the field and then dashed back left to the pylon on the goalline on his touchdown run with 55 seconds left to play.

Brooks, a junior defensive end from Alexander City, Ala., made a leaping one-handed stab of a Joe Leone pass to the right flat, kept his balance, then raced across the goalline with 40 seconds remaining to give the Purple team its only points in a 20-6 win by the White team. Head coach Scott Stoker quickly called it a day before the extra-point try.

Skidmore moved among the contenders for the game’s MVP award at the outset of the second half, accounting for 48 yards on the first four plays, with a 21-yard pass reception on the first play and a 15-yard run on the next snap, sparking the only sustained drive to a touchdown in the game. Dudley Guice’s 7-yard reception from Roch Charpentier capped an 8-play, 68-yard march.
