PLAYER OF THE GAME

Geovonie Irvine, NCCU wide receiver

The sophomore receiver caught seven passes for 101 yards and one touchdown. It was Irvine's first 100-yard receiving game, and his touchdown reception tied the game at 7.

PLAY OF THE GAME

Morehead State linebacker Wes McDermott picked off a tipped Michael Johnson pass in the second overtime possession for NCCU, preventing the Eagles from putting any points on the scoreboard.

STAT OF THE GAME

NCCU had two turnovers, including the one that helped seal the Eagles' fate in the second overtime. The Eagles have been prone to turnovers at inopportune times in all three of their losses.

WHAT THE LOSS MEANS

NCCU is a loss away from matching its 0-4 start to the 2008 season. The Eagles should be up for their next opponent, as they visit Duke for the first time.
