NCCU becomes a football team with which to reckon

DURHAM, North Carolina  -- Its a new day in N.C. Central football.
Picked to finish No. 8 among 11 teams, the Eagles are tied atop the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference after a dominating performance Saturday over defending MEAC co-champion South Carolina State.
Don’t let the 48-35 score fool you.
NCCU (2-0, 3-3) gave up 14 quick points off turnovers, and another 14 came late in the game with the outcome decided.
The Eagles’ defense really allowed only a touchdown when it counted, and their offense scored the most points given up by an SCSU team that shut out nationally ranked N.C. A&T the previous week.
