Turnovers, showboating draw ire of NCCU coach Jerry Mack

ROCKY MOUNT, North Carolina  — N.C. Central’s offense committed four turnovers during a team scrimmage at Rocky Mount High School on Saturday.

NCCU’s defense returned one of those turnovers for a touchdown.

“We just can’t have that,” first-year NCCU coach Jerry Mack said. “You talk about the quickest way to lose a football game, it’s turnovers.”

The Eagles went down east to show love to the fan base there. Some of those fans help keep NCCU’s football program going with their donations, and it’s important for the Eagles to appreciate that, Mack said.

Rocky Mount-based Gardner’s Barbecue catered the post-scrimmage meal. Mack said NCCU’s defense definitely earned the grub, but the offense — not so much.
