When Northwestern State takes the field for its first 11 a.m. football game in seven years Saturday morning, it will do so against a team it looks at as an example.
The Demons’ early start to a Southland Conference game at Nicholls comes nearly seven years to the day since its last 11 a.m. start, which coincidentally also came at Manning Field at John L. Guidry Stadium.
