Huskies bite back, up 21-14

Northeastern has rolled downfield quickly the last two possessions to surge ahead 21-14. A good kickoff return, and a bad punt snap resulting in a short punt, started the Huskies near midfield, and they've rolled in to score both times. On offense, NSU has gotten gummed up and for the first time this season, Germayne Edmond is facing some strong pressure when he goes to throw. After a 14-yard loss on a second-down sack, the Demons go 3-and-out, and despite a good snap, the punt goes only 32 yards and rolls out of bounds at the NU 35. Upcoming, a big series for the Purple Swarm. Midway through the second quarter, Demons trail by 7. A three-and-out would be huge right now as the home team has some long-awaited momentum.

There's flags for a late hit on the NU sideline, against NSU, after the Demons would have had the Huskies held up for a third-and-7. Lance Lacoste drew the late hit flag and NU is first-and-10 at the NSU 47. A reverse goes nowhere. Let's hope the Demons are angry enough now to make a badly-needed stop now.
