Eagles face fellow D-II graduates
|
|
DURHAM -- N.C. Central's football game today is not a conference matchup nor one against an established rival.

They've had a terrible time doing that in the first two games. Both times they got the opening kickoff and moved into enemy territory before losing a fumble on the first play from scrimmage against Fayetteville State and the second against James Madison.

Who will win in the trenches?
Eagles coach Mose Rison said this is his biggest concern. JMU's offensive front, led by seniors Scott Lemm at center and Terrence Apted at right tackle, averages 304 pounds. NCCU's defensive front four -- with sophomore end Donald Laster as a returning starter -- averages 253. If the Dukes run the ball at will, NCCU is in trouble.
