DURHAM, North Carolina - The bus ride from Petersburg, Virginia to Fayetteville is about three hours, and the Fayetteville Broncos put that time to good use last September.The Broncos had just suffered a 21-point loss against Virginia State to start the 2014 season with an 0-4 record. Second-year head coach Lawrence Kershaw didn't wait to get back to Fayetteville before engaging in a stern discussion with his team.
"We were on the bus ride back and Coach got up to talk to us," running back Andre Montgomery recalled. "We talked about how and why our season was going down the way it was. We were making too many errors and sometimes we were loafing.
"But talking about it on that bus ride, and again the next day in another meeting, it seemed like everyone got on the same page after that."
The result saw the rejuvenated Broncos win five of their final six games and for a second straight season come within a victory of advancing to the Central Intercollegiate Athletic championship game.
