For the second straight visit to Texas’ largest city, the Northwestern State football team put itself in position to score its first road victory of the season.
For the second time in three games, the Demons’ fourth-quarter push on the road came up just short as Northwestern dropped a 20-17 Southland Conference decision to Houston Christian at Husky Stadium in Houston.
“This was a hard one,” said second-year head coach Blaine McCorkle, whose team fell 27-24 at Prairie View A&M in suburban Houston on Sept. 27 in its most recent road game. “The guys played extremely, extremely hard for four quarters. They showed a lot of heart. They showed a lot of grit. They continued to be who we expect them to be in that realm.
