NCCU-10, Albany State 16--Bad pass gives Eagles first road loss

From School News Release

ALBANY, GA. - Albany State controlled the line of scrimmage and took advantage of turnovers during a 16-10 season-opening victory over N.C. Central (0-1) on Saturday. It was NCCU's first game in the NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision.

Albany State (1-0) dominated most of the game, but NCCU still had a chance of winning on the last play. Quarterback Stadford Brown's pass into the end zone was swatted away by the Rams' defense.

Brown completed 15 of 29 passes for 139 yards and 3 interceptions.

NCCU suffered its first regular-season loss since Oct. 1, 2005, and the Eagles' first road defeat since Oct. 9, 2004.
