FCS Football: North Carolina Central 2013 Preview

DURHAM, North Carolina  --  In his first season at North Carolina Central, Coach Henry Frazier’s team went 2-9. Last year they boosted that mark to 6-5. This year will be even better. In 2012 the Eagles faltered down the stretch, losing three of their last four games. Part of that was due to an overall lack of depth. With each new recruiting class, Coach Frazier is bringing in more players that fit his system and eventually that will get NCCU back towards the top of the conference standings.
