Olivo, Richard Break School Records on NCCU Senior Day

No. 14 North Carolina Central University amassed the third most yards of total offense in school history (669) and celebrated career record-breaking performances by quarterback Davius Richard and kicker Adrian Olivo, as the Eagles cruised to a 55-14 home victory over Delaware State in the final game of the regular season inside O’Kelly-Riddick Stadium in Durham, N.C.

NCCU finishes the regular season with a 9-2 record and awaits the selection show for the FCS playoffs on Sunday, Nov. 19 at 12:30 p.m. on ESPNU.

Richard, a senior from Belle Glade, Florida, broke NCCU career records for yards of total offense (10,704) and pass completions (695) and he completed 19-of-21 passes for 386 yards and five touchdowns, while also rushing for 35 yards and a score. Richard surpassed the career standards set by Earl Harvey from 1985-88.

Olivo, a senior out of Plant City, Florida, became NCCU’s all-time leading scorer by tallying 13 points on Saturday for 281 career points, while also breaking the career record for extra-point kicks with 149. He eclipsed the marks set by kicker Brandon Gilbert from 2004-08.
