B R O N C O S 2012 season in review 54 31 DURHAM, NC – The Fayetteville State Broncos opened its 2012 football season with a 54-31 loss to the Division I - FCS North Carolina Central Eagles in front of 9,077 fans on Saturday evening at O'Kelly-Riddick Stadium. Fayetteville State (0-1) used a two-quarterback system in the opener as Andreas Hudson started the contest before Chauncey Concepcion replaced him in the second quarter. The Fayetteville State defense and special teams set the tone early in the opening quarter as North Carolina Central (1-0) was forced to punt in its first two possessions, and the second punt put the Broncos ahead 7-0 as Joseph McLean blocked an Oleg Parent punt and Chris Person recovered it and rank eight yards for the first touchdown of the season. The Eagles’ special teams responded a few minutes later as Geovonie Irvine returned an Antonio Mayo punt 31 yards for the game-tying touchdown, but Mayo put Fayetteville State back in front 10-7 with a 38-yard field goal. The field goal by Mayo was the second of his career on his second collegiate attempt, and capped an 11-play 56-yard drive that was aided by two 15-yard penalties by North Carolina Central. The Broncos forced the Eagles to punt on the following possession, but fumbled on the first play of their drive and led to a three-yard touchdown run by Andre Clark on the very next play to go back on top 14-10. It became 20- 10 on North Carolina Central’s next possession on Arthur Goforth’s 11-yard touchdown run. Concepcion would enter the game following the touchdown and immediately made an impact as he went 4-for-4 passing for 50 yards, including a long of 17, and scored from six-yards out with 31.7 seconds remaining in the half to trim Fayetteville State’s deficit to 20-17. The Broncos offense opened the second half with a solid drive offensively, led by Concepcion, moving into Eagle territory. North Carolina Central’s defense then forced Concepcion into his first mistake of the game as Allonte Tuppins intercepted his pass and returned it 69-yards to extend the Eagles lead to 27-17. Fayetteville State then fumbled the following kick-off, and North Carolina Central made it 34-17 three plays later on a 20-yard touchdown pass from Matt Goggans to Irvine. The Broncos were not to be denied as Michael Johnson returned the following kick-off 94 yards for a touchdown to make it a 34-24 contest, but the Eagles scored on their next two possessions on touchdown runs by Clarke and Gary Douglas. North Carolina Central made it a 48-24 contest after those two touchdowns. Concepcion responded to the two touchdowns by going 5-for-5 for Fayetteville State through the air for 52 yards, while also rushing for eight, as Tyrel Bryant-Dove capped off the drive by running in from 19-yards out and cut the score to 48-31. Adrian Wilkins would end the game for the Eagles as he returned a Bronco punt 57 yards for a touchdown as time expired to end the game with a 54-31 score.
