DURHAM, North Carolina -- N.C. Central is playing above .500 and has cracked the Sheridan Broadcasting Network Black College Football Poll, coming in at No. 10.After four straight losing seasons, the Eagles are relevant again.
Football fans around the Triangle are basking in the successes of Duke, North Carolina and N.C. State. Those who root for NCCU can brag a little bit, too.
"We're not an embarrassment to the Triangle right now, and we're not an embarrassment to our fans and our alums," NCCU coach Henry Frazier III said.
"This could be a really special year. We've got a lot of work to do, but it can be special."
NCCU is 3-2, undefeated in two games in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference.
Either Morgan State (3-2, 2-0) or NCCU will have picked up its first conference loss of the season once the final horn sounds on Saturday when the Bears host the Eagles for homecoming (1 p.m., WNCU 90.7-FM, nccueaglepride.com).
There still will be a lot of football left in the season after this weekend, and a loss for either team wouldn't necessarily extinguish their chances at a league title and a Football Championship Subdivision playoff berth.
