DURHAM, North Carolina — That fourth-down touchdown by N.C. Central tight end Detwan Robinson did a number on Morgan State's homecoming Saturday and amplified the attraction of Thursday's nationally televised game between the Eagles and a Hampton team that is looking for momentum after its first win of the season.
NCCU wrapped up a five-game road swing with a 24-20 win at Morgan State's Hughes Stadium in Baltimore, keeping the Eagles undefeated in the MEAC at 3-0, tied with Bethune-Cookman for first place in the league.
Trailing 17-10 at halftime, NCCU adjusted its defense to shut off the yardage Morgan State was getting off the edges, Eagles coach Henry Frazier III said.
Offensively, NCCU went to a quick passing game to shorten the field for quarterback Jordan Reid, who was playing with an injured leg. "We just told Jordan to go through your progressions, just take your time," Frazier said.
Facing fourth-and-2 in the fourth quarter on Morgan's State's 26, Reid took the snap and got rid of the ball in a hurry to Robinson with 25 seconds left in the game.
