DURHAM, North Carolina — Sole possession of first place in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference will go to the last squad standing after Saturday’s game between N.C. Central and Bethune-Cookman in Daytona Beach, Fla. (4 p.m., WNCU 90.7-FM).
The Eagles have shown that they can handle business on the road, winning their first three MEAC games away from O’Kelly-Riddick Stadium.
That is a big deal compared to a year ago when the season was almost over when NCCU finally got a conference win against a Delaware State team that joined NCCU and Savannah State at the bottom of the league with 1-7 records.
A year ago, the Eagles did not win a game at home and finished 2-9 overall for its fourth straight losing season.
Coach Henry Frazier III, in his second season at NCCU, would tell anybody that he inherited a football team that simply wasn’t strong enough to finish MEAC games even if it has a lead in the fourth quarter.
