Missed red zone chance

Demons can't convert a fourth down, with a pass batted at the line of scrimmage, and turn it over at the 12. A Ledell Love tackle for loss smacked the Mustangs backwards to the 4.

Another TFL, by Scott Wattigny and Rogers Loche, takes them back to the 2.

But the Mustangs escaped a safety and punted it away.

Demons have given up 50+ points at home only once. The previous high total was 51 by Stephen F. Austin in 1993 in a 51-20 season-ending win over NSU. The previous worst margin of defeat at home is that 31-point whipping .

It's not a familiar sight

Not very often have the Demons gone into the fourth quarter at home down four scores. But that's what faces NSU, staring a 45-18 deficit to open the last period.

Now or never

After a shanked punt, Cal Poly starts at the NSU 36. A must to hold the 'Stangs scoreless here. No turnovers by either team all night.

WIthin three scores

Holding Cal Poly to a field goal gives the Demons some hope still.

But after an intentional grounding, the Demons face a third-and-20.

Need something good to happen here.

Two 3-and-outs, can NSU hold serve?

Heading to the late part of the third quarter, the Demons need to get another stop with Cal Poly at midfield. But another throw it up and "big boy" the Demon secondary works again as the Mustangs hit 6-foot-6 receiver Ramses Barden to the 10.

Down 35-18, Demons need a stop here in the worst way.
