Then an afternoon in Buies Creek, North Carolina changed all that.

Eagles QB Davius Richard when 21 of 35 for 294 yards and two touchdowns to go along with three total touchdowns.
Wide receiver Devin Smith was the other lone bright spot for NC Central, hauling in five catches for 67 yards and two touchdowns.
The game ultimately got away from NC Central in what was a 24-point quarter for the Fighting Camels. NC Central gave up rushing touchdowns of 10 yards, 17 yards and 24 yards in its worst defensive performance so far this season.
