four major defensive categories and three of four offensive categories in
Atlantic Coast Conference statistics, the league said Wednesday.
The 3-1 Tar Heels have given up an average of 161 yards per game to lead
the ACC in total defense, well ahead of North Carolina State’s average of
286 yards per game.
North Carolina leads the conference in rushing defense with a yield of
43.2 yards per game; pass defense with 117.7 yards per game; and scoring
defense at 6.2 points per game.
The Tar Heels also rank first nationally in total defense, second in
rushing defense, third in passing defense and second in scoring defense.
In the ACC, Maryland ranks second in rushing defense at 57 yards a
game, Georgia Tech is second in pass defense at 119.5 yards per game and
Clemson is second in scoring defense with a yield of 11.5 points per game.
On offense. North Carolina leads the ACC in total offense at 462.5 yards
per game, followed by Duke at 454.5. The Tar Heels also lead Duke in scor
ing, with an average of 35.7 points per game to the Blue Devils’ 31.7.
North Carolina’s 304 yards rushing per game is tops in the conference,
while Clemson is second with 208.7 yards per game. Duke is first in passing
with 313.2 yards per game to Maryland’s average of 222.5 yards a game.
Wake Forest’s average of 41.2 yards per punt leads the ACC, and the
Deacons also lead in punt returns with an average of 11.8 per punt. Duke
leads in kickoff returns with an average of 28.5 yards per kick.
In individual statistics, Duke quarterback Ben Bennett is the leader in
total offense and passing efficiency, while North Carolina tailback Ethan
Horton leads the league in rushing.
Berinett has run up 262.5 yards per game in offense to 210.2 yards for
Maryland quarterback Boomer Esiason. Under a complex formula used to
determine passing efficiency, Bennett has 153.9 points to 132 for North
Carolina State’s Tol Avery.
Horton, who moved up to a starting position when the Tar Heels’ Kelvin
Bryant was slowed by a preseason injury, is averaging 105.2 yards per game
rushing to 99.5 for North Carolina State’s Joe McIntosh.
Two Duke receivers are first and second in pass receiving. Carl Franks
leads with an average of five catches per game, while teammate Chris
Castor is tied for second with Russell Davis of Maryland and Phil Denfeld
of Wake Forest. Each is averaging 4.2 catches a game.

Despite a poor performance against Norfolk State the week before, the
Eagles, led by fullback Bennie Tate, put together a sound attack against
Morgan State, defeating the Bears 27-7.
For the third time this season, Tate rushed for over 100 yards, netting 134
yards in 42 carries, which set a school
record and tied the conference record
for carries.
This was the Eagles first victory
against the Bears since 1978 and the
first time that Coach Lattimore has
defeated his former team, which he
coached from 1976-77 before coming
here four years ago.
The Eagles cut down on their season
average of four turnovers and 150
yards in penalties per game, fumbling
the ball only once and being penalized
100 yards.
Prior to Saturday’s game, the Bears
had only allowed 57 yards rushing per
contest. However, the Eagles found a
weakness, compiling 211 yards
rushing.
Quarterback Gerald Fraylon com
pleted four of 14 passes for 39 yards
and rushed for 48 yards and a touchdown, moving to third on Centrals all-
time total offense list with 2,483 total yards, surpassing Jefferson Inmon
and Charles Arm wood.
At the 12 minute mark of the second quarter Fraylon put together a 39
yard drive in four plays with Tate scoring on a three yard run.
Less than four minutes later, defensive tackle Barry McLaughlin forced

recovered the ball at the Bear’s 31. Four plays later Tate scored from 17
yards out to give Central a 12-0 lead.
On their next possession the Bears put together a 65-yard drive which
culminated in a 25-yard touchdown pass from D. Brown to Cornelius
Johnson with 4:40 left in the half.
On the Eagles next possession, place-kicker Joel Massey continued his
perfect field goal kicking performance, connecting oh a 32-yarder, his fifth
in five attempts this season, to give the Eagles a 15-7 lead.
Later in the third quarter, the Eagles scored on a 26-yard Fraylon run.
Central’s final score came when William Frizell picked off an errant pass
and returned it 36-yards to secure the victory.
The Eagles, 4-1 in ClAA play and 5-1 overall, return home this week to
host the Elizabeth City State Vikings at O’Kelly Stadium in another CIAA
contest.
The Eagles’ First Defeat
The Eagles suffered their first loss of the season to the Spartans of Nor
folk State when quarterback Willie Gillus threw a 32-yard touchdown pass
to Jeff Gunn with 7:41 to put the Spartans ahead for good 14-9.
Despite Central’s 231 total yards to Norfolk’s 66, the Eagles had minus
19 yards rushing and were penalized 18 times for 205 yards.
Norfolk State back-up quarterback Gillus completed three passes in three
attempts upon entering the game in the fourth quarter. He completed one
on a pass interference penalty then another for a 32-yard touchdown capp
ing the scoring drive.
Central had a chance to score at the 4:32 mark of the quarter when
Myron Dupree forced a fumble and Nate Johnson recovered it at the Spar
tans 40.
Several plays later, Fraylon hit Audrain Melton with a 33-yard pass for a
first down inside the Norfolk 10. On the following play Fraylon was in
tercepted by linebacker Gregg Simms in an attempt to connect with Victor
Hunter. However, Simms fumbled on his effort to return the ball and Floyd
Nixon recovered for the Eagles with three minutes left to play.
In three plays the Eagles picked up seven yards, but Fraylon’s fourth
down pass attempt was broken up by Spartan defenders at the 2:24 mark of
the game.
Norfolk tried to run out the clock, but were forced to punt with :43 left in
the game.
However, a roughing the kicker penalty allowed Norfolk to retain posses
sion and they ran out the clock.
At the beginning of the game. Central moved out to an early 3-0 lead on a
35-yard Massey field goal after Maynard Smith recovered a Norfolk fumble
at the 25-yard line.
At the half, Norfolk had minus one yards rushing and 13-yards passing
while the Eagles had zero yards on the ground and 48-yards in the air.
Probably the game’s most crucial play occurred when Tate failed to pick
up a yard in two attempts from his own 36. Tate gained only 19 yards in 20
carries in the game.
NSU’s first score came three minutes later after a Victor Hunter fumble
at the 10. Quarterback Raynard Revels scampered into the endzone from
the three yard line.
The Eagles put together a scoring drive following a fumble recovery by
Lorenzo Ingram at the NSU 46 yard-line. Three plays later, Fraylon hit
Melton with a 28-yard touchdown pass with :16 remaining in the third
quarter. The Eagles two point conversion attempt failed but they led 9-7.
However, Norfolk put the winning points on the board with a 28-yard
pass interference penalty and a 32-yard touchdown pass to win 14-9.
