Playing before a crowd of more than 3,500 the Broncos displayed their new as weil as old talents. Under the direction of Head Coach Ray McDougal the Broncos were able to obtain balance scoring; a total of six players burst into the scoring column. All CIAA conference running back James Godwin lead the scoring honors with two touchdowns, on runs of two and three yard plunges; followed by teammates Tim Heath’s 20 yards score, James Tucker 1 yard dash, Carlos Bailey 2 yards sprint, freshman Eric Johnson 1 yard run and Eli Tatum 10 yards spurt to paydirt,-all scoring one touchdown respec tively. The Broncos were not able to continuously maintain a suc cessful drive in the first half, as a result the score was only 12-0 at the end of the first half. The second half proved to be the fatal segment of the game for Fort Bragg, as the Broncos exploded for 33 points. With the outstanding performance by James Godwin and Tim Heath the Broncos were able to move the ball more aggressively in the second half. Godwin and Heath combined for a total of 196 yards on the ground. Godwin gained 94 yards on 10 carries, while Heath racked up 102 yards on 16 carries.

A highly-spirited Bronco team displayed championship characteristics at the Bronco stadium, September 20 against Norfolk State. Despite losing a heart-breaker to the defending CIAA conference champions Norfolk State 9-7, Fayetteville State University Broncos showed their impressive strength in a game which would have gone either way. The Broncos drew the “first blood”, when James Godwin burst through the Norfolk State defense on a four yard run to give FSU a 6-0 advantage. Chris Barfield added the point after touch down to give FSU a 7-0 half-time lead. FSU defense held up very well, but a costly turnover enabled Norfolk State to get on the score board. The turnover came early in the third quarter with 12:03 left, when Ernie Cantrell was sacked into the end zone by a Norfolk State defender. Following the free kick the Spartans marched 62 yards on six plays, climaxed by quarterback Steve Graeff 17-yard pass to tight-end Robert Powell to give Norfolk State Spartans the lead for good, 9- 7. Late in the fourth quarter the Broncos’ unpredictable offense started a drive towards paydirt but was halted by freshman running back Chris Barfield’s fumble at the Norfolk State’s 25 yard line. With less than two minutes to go in the game the Spartans were able to run out the clock. The Broncos will travel to Raleigh, NC for their next con ference match up against winless Shaw University Bears, Sep tember 27 at Devereux Meadows Stadium.
