DURHAM — N.C. Central fumbled six times and lost three of those during
Saturday’s game against rival N.C. A&T, and the Aggies took advantage with a
22-16 overtime win at O’Kelly-Riddick Stadium.
A&T had the first
possession in the extra session and scored on a 5-yard run by Mike
Mayhew.
The Aggies missed the extra point, leaving NCCU with a chance to
seal the win with a touchdown and point-after kick.
But the carelessness
with the ball that cursed the Eagles resurfaced on third and 1.
NCCU
reserve center Zachary Giles, who played at Hillside, snapped the ball over the
head of quarterback Jordan Reid. NCCU running back Arthur Goforth recovered the
ball on the Eagles’ 42.
On fourth down, Reid’s pass to Decona Roberts
fell incomplete to end the game, crushing Goforth’s spirit.
“Last time
touching the field,” Goforth said. “I’m going to miss it.”
