5 things Texas A&M fans need to know about Northwestern State: Demons to play two QBs against Aggies

Texas A&M kickoffs the Jimbo Fisher era against Northwestern State Thursday night at Kyle Field. NSU is coming off a rough 4-7 campaign in 2017.

Here are five things to know about the Demons:

Like A&M, NSU also has a first-year head coach in Brad Laird.

While Jimbo Fisher's arrival to Aggieland was a brand-new experience, Laird is no stranger to Natchitoches. In fact, Laird is well-known to NSU fans.

Laird took over as the Demons' head coach last November after Jay Thomas' contract was not renewed. Laird had been NSU's defensive coordinator in 2017.
