Demons among nationʼs most improved in 2010 With an improvement of five wins in 2010 over the 2009 season, Northwestern State tied Maryland for the fourth most improved record in NCAA Division I football last season. The improvement extended to the classroom. When the NCAA issued its an- nual Academic Progress Rate report in May, Northwestern ranked seventh among 125 FCS programs in the level of improvement from 2008-09 to 2009-10 in the APR score for its football program. That jump came in Bradley Dale Peveto’s first season as the Demons’ head coach.

Get into your seats for the Demonsʼ fi rst play and fi rst possession Last year, Northwestern averaged 19 yards per play on its first offensive snap of the game. NSU has scored on its first possession of the game 9 times in 23 games over the past two seasons under offensive coordinator Todd Cooley. The first play and series vs. Delta State were comparatively mundane: a 3-yard loss on a rushing play started the possession, which ended with a punt after six plays and 24 yards gained.

Northwestern State (1-0) vs. LSU (1-0) • Tiger Stadium • Sept. 10, 2011 BRADLEY DALE PEVETO Head Coach SMU, 1986 • 6th Season at NSU • 3rd since 1998 Years at NSU: 3 • Overall Record: 7-17 Family: WIFE, MELISSA; CHILDREN, JACOB EDWARD AND PEYTON MARIE

Heʼs a captain of enthusiasm. Heʼs a human energy burst. Heʼs a passionate leader. Heʼs a docu- mented coaching whiz on defense and special teams. Heʼs all in, for the long haul. And heʼs going to do it the right way. Those qualities have all been evident from the time Bradley Dale Peveto strode to the podium in front of 250 people on Dec. 22, 2008 to shake the hand of Northwestern State director of athletics Greg Burke before making his fi rst remarks as the Demonsʼ head football coach. Heʼs known as “Coach Peve” to many - “Big Daddy Peve” to others - and is a fast-bonding friend to anyone who crosses his path. A pair of Texas couples visiting Natchitoches encountered him at lunch in a local restaurant. They came away feeling they had met the local Chamber of Commerce president, so detailed and effusive were his tips on places to visit, things to do and dining recommendations. That personality has contributed to a long-recognized knack for recruiting. Itʼs been borne out at NSU both with players and coaches. The Demonsʼ 2009 signing class, put together in six weeks after Peveto was hired, was ranked No. 1 in FCS by Rivals.com experts. The 2010 class was rated No. 4 nationally among FCS schools in the Rivals.com rankings the day after National Signing Day. In 2011, Rivals.com stopped ranking FCS signing classes - but Peveto and staff didnʼt stop signing highly-recruited prospects. Looking through his coaching staff, Peveto has blended accomplished NSU assistants with top-quality newcomers to Natchitoches such as former Nicholls head coach Jay Thomas and former Central Arkansas offensive coordinator Todd Cooley. His staff has followed his lead and has become very active and visible in the community and with NSU alumni and supporters. Peveto is a former LSU co-defensive coordinator whose highly-successful 23-year college football coaching career includes the Tigersʼ 2007 BCS national championship and Northwestern Stateʼs FCS semifi nal playoff season of 1998. His latest accomplishment is entering the conversation for the national Eddie Robinson Coach of the Year Award from the Sports Network last November, as the Demons were surging in a stretch run that brought them to the brink of a championship and postseason play. NSU entered the fi nal game of the 2010 season with the opportunity to win a share of the Southland Conference crown, and advance to the FCS playoffs, but could not overcome Top 10-ranked Stephen F. Austin on the road. Still, the accomplishment Peveto is more proud about is having the Demons rank as the nationʼs fourth most-improved team in Division I last season, winning fi ve more games than in 2009. Right alongside that feat: having one of the most improved Academic Progress Rate scores among any FCS football program in his fi rst year, 2009-10. That 42 percent jump was reported in this Mayʼs APR release by the NCAA and ranks seventh among the 117 FCS programs in Division I. Peveto is the 13th head coach in the 102-year history of intercollegiate football at Northwestern. He was defensive coordinator for the Demons from 1996-98 under the schoolʼs winningest head coach, Sam Goodwin. Northwestern won the Southland Conference championship and reached the FCS playoffs in 1997 and 1998, going 12-2 in the SLC and 19-7 overall in those seasons. The 1998 team, outright SLC champions, fi nished with a No. 3 national ranking after reaching No. 2 at the outset of the national playoffs, hosting three postseason games in Turpin Stadium before a fourth-quarter rally by eventual national champion Massachusetts halted the 11-3 Demons in a semifi nal game. The 1997 Demons shared the SLC title by winning six straight games after a 2-3 start, capping the run with a stirring 38-21 homefi eld triumph over rival Stephen F. Austin, denying the Lumberjacks a co-championship and a postseason berth. Peveto has also been defensive coordinator at Middle Tennessee State and Houston, where he was also assistant head coach in 2002. He has also been part of coaching staffs at Arkansas, Southern Mississippi, Stephen F. Austin and Trinity Valley Community College. The Orange- fi eld, Texas, native played in four bowl games from 1982-86 at SMU, where he was a safety, special teams star and team captain while the Mustangs went 43-14. With Peveto on the sidelines as co-coordinator and linebackers coach in 2008, LSUʼs defense ranked 17th in the nation in rushing defense

Northwestern State (1-0) vs. LSU (1-0) • Tiger Stadium • Sept. 10, 2011 (110 ypg) and 32nd in total defense (326 ypg). In his three previouss years with LSU, Peveto held a dual role, serving as the special teamss coordinator and coaching the Tiger linebackers. As linebackers coach, Pevetoʼs development of players at thatt position was critical to the success of the Tiger defense that rankedd among the top fi ve in the nation in 2005-07. In 2007, linebacker Alii Highsmith earned fi rst-team All-America honors from CBSsports.com,, while also being named a second-team All-American by the Associ-- ated Press. Highsmith earned fi rst-team All-SEC honors in 2006, whilee junior was a second-team All-SEC pick. As LSUʼs special teams coordinator, Peveto had both his punterr (Patrick Fisher) and placekicker () earn fi rst-team All-SECC honors in 2007. It marked the fi rst time in school history that LSUU had the All-SEC punter and kicker on its roster in the same season.. Fisher averaged a league-best 44.5 yards per punt in 2007, whilee David kicked a school-record 26 fi eld goals and led the SEC in scoringg with a league record 147 total points. In his three years as LSUʼs special teams coordinator, the Tigerss returned two punts for touchdowns and a pair of kickoffs for a score.. They also blocked six kicks, converted 49-of-71 fi eld goals and 165-- of-167 extra points. In 2005, Pevetoʼs impact was immediate as the Tigers fi eldedd some of the best special teams units in the country. LSU ranked fi rstt in the SEC and fi fth in the nation in net punting (39.0 average). Thee Tigers were also fi rst in the conference in kickoff coverage (45.5 nett average) and second in the league and 12th nationally in punt returnn average (14.1). LSUʼs fi eld goal and point-after-touchdown units were also much improved as the Tigers converted 45-of-46 PATs in 2005 and connected on 14-of-24 fi eld goals. Peveto (pronounced PEA-vit-toe) left LSU on a high note. He completed his duties as co-defensive coordinator and linebackers coach at LSU when the Tigers dominated Georgia Tech in the 2009 Chick-Fil-A Bowl in Atlanta. LSUʼs defense shackled the nationʼs No. 1 rushing offense in a 38-3 rout. In his three years as defensive coordinator at Northwestern, Pevetoʼs defense quickly earned the nickname “Purple Swarm” and coined the phrase “Swarm, Baby, Swarm” for his attacking defensive style, which had NSU ranked nationally in several statistical categories during each of his three seasons. Four of his players earned All-America honors. In addition, four Demon players were selected in the NFL draft, three after the 1998 season, including current Washington Redskins safety Mike Green. Under his direction, the Demon defense also set single-game records for fewest yards allowed, fewest rushing yards allowed, and most quarterback sacks. NSU also set school season records for most defensive touchdowns scored. In addition, the “Purple Swarm” also set season records for quarterback sacks in two of his three seasons, accumulating 52 in 1998 and 122 in the last three years. Peveto comes from a family with a rich football coaching tradition. His late father, Ed, coached high school football in the southeast Texas area and was inducted into the Greater Houston Coaches Hall of Honor in 1993 and into the Golden Triangle Coaches Hall of Fame in 1997.
