Mosley, Defense Power NCCU to Historic 62-20 Rout of NC A&T in Aggie-Eagle Classic

GREENSBORO, N.C. — North Carolina Central University’s football team delivered a statement win Saturday night, demolishing archrival North Carolina A&T 62-20 in the Aggie-Eagle Classic at Truist Stadium. Running back Chris Mosley tied a program record with five touchdowns, and the Eagles racked up a school-record 745 yards of total offense en route to their fourth straight victory over the Aggies.

Game Summary

Explosive Start for the Eagles

Mosley set the tone early, taking the second play of the game 53 yards for a touchdown. After a bad Aggies snap resulted in a safety, the Eagles quickly built a 15-0 lead with another Mosley score from 15 yards out. The defense added a second safety moments later, courtesy of a Christian Smith sack, stretching the lead to 17-0 before the first quarter ended.

Offense Breaks Records

Quarterback Walker Harris had a near-flawless night, throwing for 380 yards and three touchdowns, including two to Mosley. Fellow running back Arthur Rodgers added two rushing touchdowns and 129 yards on the ground, helping NCCU surpass the 700-yard offensive mark for the first time in school history.
