It's tied

McNeese punches it in, adds the PAT and we're tied on the first play of the second quarter. Will the Demons continue their offensive surge? An 8-play, 67 yard drive for McNeese.

Byron Lawrence already has 49 yards rushing on 11 carries.

Germayne Edmond left the game midway through the last drive, and Drew Branch stepped in.

7-0 Demons end of 1st, but ...

McNeese second and goal at the 2, bidding to tie it.

Demons offensive line dominates, NSU goes up

Byron Lawrence and Sterling Endsley run powerfully on a 9-play, 79-yard drive capped by a 2-yard dash over right tackle by Endsley. The Demon offensive line is just blasting holes up front. 7-0, NSU, 2:19 left in the first quarter.

Lawrence went over the 1,000-yard mark for the season on his first carry of the game, a 5-yard run. He is the 10th player in school history to reach that mark.

Riggs makes a big play -- again

A long run, another touchdown saving tackle by Gary Riggs, and a defensive stand keeps this game scoreless. McNeese missed a 39-yard field goal try - why couldn't that have happened last year in this game?

Gave it back

Byron Lawrence never got a good grip on the first down handoff at the McNeese 18, and the Cowboys dodged a bullet and recovered the fumble.
