ELON, North Carolina — N.C. Central on Saturday night looked like it switched places with the Division II team it handled in its season opener. The Eagles just couldn’t get going and fell to Elon 34-14.
The score wasn’t necessarily indicative of the way Elon dominated the game.
“We stunk it up,” NCCU coach Henry Frazier III said. Frazier in particular was talking about the way NCCU’s offense performed, gaining a grand total of 27 rushing yards and 83 passing yards. But the Eagles as a unit just didn’t bring it, either, Frazier said.
“There were a lot of opportunities out here to make plays out here tonight, and we just didn’t,” Frazier said. “Elon seemed to be a step faster than us to all the loose balls, to just the intensity-level plays, and they made those plays.”
Elon in Week 1 got clobbered 62-0 by North Carolina, a Football Bowl Subdivision team. NCCU started the season with a 54-31 win over Fayetteville State, a Division II program.
