    The Northwestern State football team’s search for consistency continues.

    The Demons could not sustain drives offensively, struggled to slow Deantre Jackson on defense and saw their special teams units surrender points in a 49-0 Southland Conference loss to No. 22 Southeastern Louisiana at Strawberry Stadium on Saturday evening.

    “First thing, I want to give Southeastern a lot of credit,” second-year head coach Blaine McCorkle said. “What coach (Frank) Scelfo has built in his eight years is really impressive. They’re good. They’re every bit of that No. 22 ranking, and they’re probably better than that when it’s all said and done. That’s a good football team, and I give them their due.
