The Eagles upped their season's record to 3-0 with this victory. They are expected to beat the Fayetteville State Broncos this Saturday on the road. Photo by SHasMiyfMd A rea Collegiate Pigskin A nalysis On Saturday, the Eagles of NCCU will take their offensive show to Fayetteville State University. Game time is 6:30 p.m. for yet another: must game for Central The Eagles, Broncos and J. C. Smith are in a lie for the Southern Divi sion lead with Central sporting a 3-0 conference and overall mark. The Broncos are 1-0 in the CI A A, 1-2 overall. "It is going to be a crucial game for both teams." . lamented NCCU coach Henry Lat timore. "We hope that we will be successful con taining their diversified offense. They have, been stingy against the pass (105.3 which is 4th best in the CIAA). We will have to cut down on our - 27 passes mistakes if we are to have a chance to move the ball. in the air." Contrary to what one may think, it will un doubtedly be a close game. Both the Eagles and Broncos have been By Elson Armstrong, Jr. Is this the best NCCU team since 1972? (NCCU is -ranked No. 5 in the Sheridan Poll). Intimidation, poise, coolness under fire, con fidence, and togetherness; these are ' .last Saturday's regional TV broadcast (ABC) when they pounded pre season Southern CIAA favorite Winston-Salem State 37-17 before 11,500 rocking fans in Durham. Central starts a three- game road trip this week all qualities that the great opening with the Bron fqotball teams must have cos of Fayetteville State to remain on top and after ,, the first three games of the young 1982 season the NCCU Eagles seem to have all of these qualities and then some. After opening on the road ;;with ,..a , 42-19 slaughter, -of out-classed Livingstone, the high fly ing Eagles have set the ci ty of Durham a-rocking by , beating defending CIAA Champ and pre season favorite Virginia Union in a thrilling 27-26 win in Durham and the Eagles followed that up b y really showing off for Elson' s Collegiate Picks University in a night game this Saturday. On October 9, the Eagles take on the Nor folk State Spartans in Norfolk, and then clask with the Morgan State Bears in Baltimore. ' They return home on Good teams must be led by good quarterbacks and Gerald Fraylon,, the Charlotte sophomore, is more than good. In the WSSU game and the Union encounter, Fraylon cooly operated the Eagles' offense, read the defenses expertly, sported weaknesses, and just generally put the op ponents' lights out. In the WSSU game, Fraylon killed the Rams all afternoon with a slant ; pass over the middle. Teh Rams also had trou Central's defense is also a monster, they made life miserable, for the Rams on the steamy hot day with their hard . hitting which caused an early fumble deep in WSSU territory that set the tone of the game. The Eagles' defense had 'a similar performance against Union the previous week, after ! NCCU's first TD in that game Union found itself in a buzz saw. - Central's specialty teams have also been NCCU 44, Duke 28. Fayetteville 43 Navy 7 UNC 29 Ga.Tech7 N.C. State 27.

Smith University, which is cur rently sporing a 3-0 record, could be one of. the most exciting head knockers this season. , The Eagles are now a hot , topic among Triangle sports fans and sports media. NCCU is in fact hotter than the 93-degree sun that beat down on O'Kelly Stadium during the Winston-Salem game. "How good, are the Eagles" and "how 'bout those Eagles" are familiar refrains heard around Durham and Raleigh. , It is reported that dur ing the television broad cast two weeks ago, the media ble in covering Fraylon's,; ?1110'1- I.thc clos- . . . i i ino cnvnHc rF"h fire receivers. ine tosseq iour u --, w TDses to,foUrih?a'WSSV with.

Again, Central has been outstanding in this area. All during the two recent home encounters, the spotters in te press box were usually right on time in dissection of the ; opposition's game plan. No team is perfect and, yes, NCCU does have some flaws that need to be corrected. The most glary pro blem that the Eagles have had in all of their games is penalties. Against WSSU, the Eagles were assessed 18 penalties for 144 yards; against Livingstone, they were flagged for well over 200 yards! Many of the flags are a result of the Eagles' ag gressive defense,, but the penalties must be cut down if 'and when yvNCCU is involved in IclosVly fought contests in the future. The other seemingly tninor problem is the first snap from center on punts in the last two games. Both times the center's snap has sailed over the punter's head and given the opponents scores. To the Eagles credit this has only hap pened once in each game, but it could be fatal in a tight score situation. Durham is buzzing about the Eagles and for good reason. They are now ranked No. 5 in the Sheridan Poll of the top ten black college teams, and they appear to be v rolling toward a CIAA title.
