DURHAM, N.C. -- After N.C. Central coach Mose Rison enjoyed a rare weekend without football, he and his team have turned their attention to the matchup with Hampton on Saturday. Hampton played Delaware State on Thursday night, but Rison, who was on the recruiting trail in Charlotte, said he watched the game on television.
That turned out to be a fortunate coincidence since the teams were not able to trade their latest films. "It was in a driving rainstorm," Rison said. "They ran the ball extremely well in the rain. Give Hampton credit for being resilient and not getting away from their game plan. "

Football Game Canceled: West Alabama vs. NCCU
WEST ALABAMA - West Alabama officials have canceled the Oct. 6 game with North Carolina Central, which had been scheduled for Birmingham's Legion Field.
The university cited problems with the game's promoter, Varsity Sports Marketing Group. The game promoter’s breach of contract forces cancellation of Oct. 6 contest.
"We want all of the UWA and NCCU fans to know that our great universities really wanted to play this football game and we did everything possible to salvage it, but we were unable to resolve the contract difficulties with the game's promoter," West Alabama athletic director E.J. Brophy said.
West Alabama and NCCU will have an open date on Oct. 6.
“We are disappointed that our football program and our fans will not have the opportunity to travel to Alabama for this event,” said NCCU Director of Athletics Bill Hayes. “We have developed a wonderful relationship with the administration of UWA and we were looking forward to the match-up on the gridiron. All possible efforts were exhausted by NCCU and UWA before having to come to this decision. This is quite unfortunate.”
NCCU, currently 2-1 after back-to-back shutouts of Fayetteville State and Saint Augustine’s, will play Elizabeth City State this Saturday (Sept. 15) in the New York Urban League's 37th Annual Whitney Young Football Classic at Giants Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J. The contest will kickoff at 2 p.m. with live coverage on WRJD 1410 AM beginning with a pre-game show at 1:30 p.m.
