Hectic half to say the least

But the bottom line is an explosive half.

For maybe the first time in 101 years of Demon football, two brothers have scored in the same game for NSU. Senior Justin Perry ran back the opening kickoff 95 yards, the first KO return TD for the Demons since Darius Adams went 92 yards against Troy State on Oct. 10, 1992. Later, sophomore Kevin Perry scooped up a punt blocked by Adam Varnado and scampered 17 yards for a touchdown.

They each scored on the first play in the first two quarters.

The 49 points at halftime may be the most by the Demons in a half in a long time. We'll have to check on that later; we know that when NSU put 87 up on Southeastern in that freaky 2003 game, it was a 45-point first half including 14 points in the final two minutes.
