ELIZABETH CITY, North Carolina - The time bomb that is the Elizabeth City State
offense is still ticking. The Vikings, who were predicted to win the CIAA’s
Northern Division title, have won three straight games after opening the season
with two losses, but have not exactly been overpowering the opposition.
ECSU’s three wins have been achieved by a total of
10 points, including last week’s 23-21 victory over St. Augustine’s that was
decided when cornerback Nigel Rios returned a missed conversion for a defensive
two points.
Coming into today’s game at Virginia State, the
Vikings, who averaged 27.6 points a game last season when they also lost their
first two games, but then reeled off eight consecutive wins, are averaging only
16.6 points.
“We’re waiting for that breakout game and we say it
every week, but this could be the game we put more points on the board,”
Elizabeth City State head coach Waverly Tillar said. “That’s the challenge,
anyway.
