After a commanding victory over the Navy Midshipmen, the Thundering Herd looks to return to Joan C. Edwards Stadium to take on the NC Central Eagles this Saturday. Both teams enter the contest with a 1-0 record.
For NC Central, this will be their first full season of football since the pandemic. 644 days passed between the conclusion of the 2019 season and the beginning of this season with no contests played by the Eagles in 2020. NC Central closed the drought with a win over Alcorn State 23-14, drawing 1 million viewers on ESPN for the FCS school.
