The MEAC will feature one of the most highly anticipated "HBCU GAMES OF THE YEAR" as the North Carolina Central Eagles (6-2, 2-0 MEAC) square off against the South Carolina State Bulldogs (5-2, 1-0 MEAC) on Halloween night in Orangeburg, South Carolina.
Tonight's matchup has two of the top HBCU football coaches - Trei Oliver (NCCU) and Chennis Berry (SCS) - leading their teams to what is being billed as this year's presumptive "MEAC Football Championship." Questions abound ahead of the 7:30 PM ET kickoff on ESPN2 with Tiffany Greene (play-by-play) and Jay Walker (color analysis) on the broadcast call.
Can the Eagles fly off their perch in Durham to swoop down onto the gridiron at Orangeburg and leave with a victory? Conversely, will the Bulldogs protect their home turf, win, and declare themselves as the new Kings of the MEAC?
The conference foes are evenly matched in their 29th meeting, with the Eagles holding a 15-13 lead. However, they are 4-9 playing at Oliver C. Dawson Stadium, and the Bulldogs' tenacious defensive and offensive lines are up for fending off any NCCU challenge in the trenches.
