Northwestern drops conference opener to Lions

A night of missed chances and relentless rushing ended in a frustrating and disappointing Homecoming night for Northwestern State in its 40-10 loss to East Texas A&M.

The theme of the night played out in the first two drives of the night. Antonio Hall returned the opening kickoff 65 yard setting the Demons (1-4, 0-1) up in prime field position.

Six plays later a missed field goal, the first of two misses in the game for the Demons, left it a scoreless affair.
