NCCU Eagles wary of SCSU Bulldogs

DURHAM, North Carolina — The idea was to use the bye week to get guys healed, but just how well N.C. Central’s football players have recovered from their injuries was unknown mid-afternoon Tuesday, NCCU coach Henry Frazier III said.

The coach said he expected to have medical updates sometime Tuesday evening about guys such as wide receiver Geovonie Irvine, who didn’t play Sept. 22 when the Eagles visited Savannah State.

Frazier has said that Irvine is the best player on the team, so NCCU’s solid 45-33 win over Savannah State sent the Eagles flying into their bye week pretty high.

A year ago, the Eagles went into their open date having to mull over how they blew fourth-quarter leads in losses to Savannah State and Elon. 

S.C. State was waiting on NCCU after that bye week and got a 48-38 win.

The Bulldogs will be looking to tear into the Eagles on Saturday during the Circle City Classic at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis (2:30 p.m., WNCU 90.7-FM, nccueaglepride.com).
