DURHAM, North Carolina — The 236 rushing yards N.C. Central's ball carriers generated back in Week 2 were what they were in an easy win against Division II Elizabeth City State, while the 147 yards the Eagles gained on the ground Saturday during a 27-22 victory over Howard amounted to their best rushing output of the season versus Division I peers.
NCCU coach Jerry Mack said improving the Eagles' running game was a point of emphasis in the bye week leading up to the Howard matchup.
Howard coach Gary Harrell said NCCU's running game is nice enough, although his Bison missed a lot of tackles.
NCCU quarterback Malcolm Bell led the Eagles with 66 rushing yards against a Howard defense about which the scouting report revealed a proclivity to let runners escape.
