The Battle for Chief Caddo Gamethread

[Mr. C]

Is anyone outside the state of Texas and Louisiana, other than me, watching the Stephen F. Austin-Northwestern State game? Ralph, are you watching?

[Mr. C]

For those who care, but are not by a television, this has been pretty much an SFA show. It's 17-0 with five minutes left in the first half. And it could have been worst if the host Lumberjacks had not had a pass intercepted in the end zone. The Northwestern State offense has done little and surprisingly, the Purple Swarm defense has been extremely porous, particularly in the secondary. 270 yards of total offense already for SFA.

[Mr. C]

SFA is trying to figure out what to do on fourth and goal. They finally decide to kick a field goal after a delay of game penalty (which is declined to keep a bad angle on the 21-yard kick). Kick is good for Corey Long. 20-0 SFA with 1:05 left in the first half. SFA has only had to punt once and has scored on four of their six drives.

[Mr. C]

Scott Stoker called the first half for Northwestern State "The worst half of football we have played this year."

[Sam_Kats]

Too much purple for me!!

[*****]

I'm watching of course! 20-0 SFA 11:50 3Q

8:30 3Q
SFA 20
NWST 0

[Mr. C]

The Demons are trying to climb back into this one with three minutes left in the third. Their third pass completion (freshman QB making his first start) of the night moved them deep into SFA territory.

[Mr. C]

Third and goal from the five. Almost intercepted.

[Mr. C]

Going for the field goal. Robert Weeks good from 22. 20-3 with 1:45 left in the third.

[*****]

fumble here... fumble there...

[Mr. C]

They just put up a graphic with the Southland standings on the screen. Ironically, Central Arkansas (not eligible for the title until next year) has the best record of ANY Southland team at 7-3.

[Mr. C]

Chris Miller of NW State return a punt 61 yards to the SFA 16. SFA's Josh Andrews saved a touchdown with a nice tackle.

[Mr. C]

Fumble and Damian Perkins of SFA recoveres it on a safety blitz by Carlos Anders.

[AZGrizFan]

Good game going on for SFA. Is it Parker, the running back? He's quick! And I LOVE the way he finishes off runs. :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

bumbling... stumbling... 20-3 SFA 12:01 4Q

This is indeed very true:D , however 4 of those wins were against Division II schools, with 3 I-AA wins (MO State, SFA, and Sam Houston) and 3 I-AA L's (IL State, UC Davis, and South Dakota State)...still a great first year of transition regardless of what happens this weekend against GA Southern!! (Although I predict the Bears will finish the year 8-3)

Don't be surprised if your team gets a win against Georgia Southern. They are beat up and demoralized and coming off a loss to Furman, one of their two biggest rivals. Good time to catch them.

[Mr. C]

Missed field goal by SFA leaves it 20-3 early in the fourth.

[Mr. C]

Brooks has been the runner gaining most of the yards for SFA tonight.

[*****]

hard to win on the road in the SLC...

[Mr. C]

Hard to win when you don't bring your offense on the road, too.

[AZGrizFan]

Brooks has been the runner gaining most of the yards for SFA tonight.

THAT'S it. Brooks. He's like a miniature Reggie Bush. :eek: :eek:

[Mr. C]

The Demons' Greg Skidmore had a TD on a swing pass and tripped and fell at the SFA 22. And he fell a foot short of the first down, too.

[Mr. C]

And then the freshman QB misses his wide-open TE on what could have been a TD on second and short after a good play-action fake.

[*****]

THAT'S it. Brooks. He's like a miniature Reggie Bush. :eek: :eek:not sooooo mini

Jerome Brooks 5-11/185
Reggie Bush. 6-0/200

[Mr. C]

Touchdown for TE Clayton Broyals. But ineligible receiver downfield negates it. The color commentator says its a bogus call.

[Mr. C]

Third and seven for the Demons from the 17. False start for NW State on full blitz by SFA. 12th penalty of the night for the Demons.

[Mr. C]

Fourth down and five and the Demons go for it. First down and then Damian Perkins forces and recovers a fumble for SFA.

[*****]

crumbling... dumpling...

[Mr. C]

It looks like Chief Caddo is going to have a new home in Nacogdotches, Texas after a couple of years in Natchitoches, La. The 7-foot-6 Wooden Indian is the coolest trophy of all college rivalries.

that is a helluva trophy!

[Mr. C]

123 yards rushing for Jerome Brooks of SFA with 3:02 left.

[Mr. C]

that is a helluva trophy!
Having seen the Chief in person, he is indeed impressive.

what is it... like 50 degrees??? Those folks are huddling under blankets like they are in Antartica!

It's actually about 30.

It's actually about 30.OMIGAWD!!!!!!!!! ALERT THE EMERGENCY HEAT WARMER TEAMS!!!!!!!!

[McNeese72]

They just put up a graphic with the Southland standings on the screen. Ironically, Central Arkansas (not eligible for the title until next year) has the best record of ANY Southland team at 7-3.

They only played two Southland conference teams and three Div II's. Also, they didn't play two Div I-A's like most of the teams in the conference did.

We'll see how they do next year when they play everybody.

Doc

[*****]

less than a minute to go
20-3 SFA

[McNeese72]

From watching this game, it looks like Northwestern St. was flat. They pretty much left it on the field after the OT loss last Saturday.

Doc

[Mr. C]

OMIGAWD!!!!!!!!! ALERT THE EMERGENCY HEAT WARMER TEAMS!!!!!!!!
That's pretty cold for those folks in Texas. If you remember, folks at Texas State were getting sunburns in the first two rounds of the playoffs last year.

Doc
I would definitely agree, particularly the way the Demons played in the first half.

[Mr. C]

Northwestern State trying to get a TD before it ends. 22 seconds left. 13-play drive to the SFA 2.

[Mr. C]

Too many men on the field for SFA. First and goal at the one.

[*****]

COMEBACK TIME!!!!!!!

[Mr. C]

Fade route for Dudley Guise. TD for the Demons.

[Mr. C]

NW State going for two. Complete to Gordon Freeman. 20-11 with 18 seconds left.

[Mr. C]

This game is going to look a lot closer in terms of final score than it really ever was.

[*****]

Watch for the ONSIDES KICK!!!!!!

[*****]

bumbling stumbling ...

[Mr. C]

:waawaa: :waawaa: :waawaa: :waawaa: :)
Those (sunburned) babies look like some of the folks who were at that Texas State-Georgia Southern game in the first round of the playoffs.

[Mr. C]

Onside kick fails to go 10 yards. Game over.

[Mr. C]

Why aren't those SFA players carrying their trophy around the field like most teams do with their trophies?

[*****]

it's over, it's all over....

SFA takes Chief Caddo back to Texas (well he just stays there) with a 20-11 win over Northwestern State.

hard to win on the road in the SLC...

:D Not for all of us :)

[Frosty The Snowbuff]

Hard to win when you don't bring your offense on the road, too.

The story of our season...:rolleyes:

We should just stop playing on Thursday Night's period.

[patssle]

hard to win on the road in the SLC...

no sir. Bearkats are UNDEFEATED on the road in I-AA & conference play this season. An AMAZING turnaround from last season where we LOST every game on the road!

I can't believe the NCAA allows that to be a trophy. They should put a stop to offensive game trophies:o :D

[OL FU]

Congrats to SFA. :hurray: :hurray:

[Dallas Demon]

We didn't come to play this game, definitely flat after the OT loss to McNeese which ended any chance for a conference title/autobid. Besides, every 3-4 years we let the Chief go away for a visit before coming back home for quite some time.

[blackfordpu]

I was very suprised at how lost the Demons looked during this game. I was pulling for ya Demons but you let me down. ;)

Sorry, I was surprised too. They clocked out after the McNeese game, or so it seemed. : smh :
