How Texas Southern’s Shocking Victory Over North Carolina Central Could Rewrite the Season’s Playbook
North Carolina Central will be good again, but how good?
North Carolina Central had a strong start, leading 24-14 at halftime, but they scored only 6 points in the second half and ultimately allowed 28 points after the break. They didn’t necessarily look bad. Former Eagles offensive coordinator Matt Leone’s absence was certainly felt, as the offense didn’t look as inspired as it did with him at the helm, but North Carolina Central looked competitive throughout the game.
North Carolina Central under new OC Chris Barnette looked good, per usual, with a nice offensive attack predicated on a strong running game, where the running back room finished with 190 yards and 2 touchdowns. Nelson Layne also had a respectable performance, throwing for 131 yards, one touchdown, and one interception on 16 of 31 passes. Chance Peterson, shockingly, had a quiet evening; the reigning preseason MEAC Offensive Player of the Year only had 4 receptions for 23 yards.
