Big Four Wins.

We will have to go back into the history books to see the last time all four of the ACC's North Carolina teams won on the same Saturday.

Wake won it's first game of year by beating Stanford in an ACC-Pac-10 show down. Wake down 17-3 shuts out Stanford in the second half to win 24-17.

Duke went up the Hudson River in one of those special places to play football at Army and comes back down the river winning 35-19. It's their first win of the season.

North Carolina uses a holding penalty in the end zone by Connecticut with a minute to play to fly past U Conn 12-10. Can't wait to hear from you Carolina fans at what a great job Butch Davis is doing. Carolina is now 2-0

North Carolina State failed to get a touchdown last week against South Carolina but score twice in the first four minutes against Murray State. 65-7 was the final. The Wolfpack defense has only given up 14 points so far this year.

Terrell Hudgins makes 11 grabs Saturday and scored a touchdown to go along with 134 yards receiving as Elon goes to 2-0 as they beat a church team Presbyterian 49-0.

Stephan Virgil sat out today a Virginia Tech. He got hurt with 29 seconds to play in the Bama game and I guess he missed today from that injury.

ECU who got a scare from App State last week as the Mountaineers came back in the second half, today ECU is shut out in the second half and lost at West Virginia 35-20.

There are those who will tell you that they love watching games on TV and they don't have to worry about traffic and the ride home. There is so much at a football game that TV never shows.

I went to the NC State game tonight and today was armed forces day. From the parachute team who landed on the field to a half time show saluting the our service men with an American flag covering the entire field there is something about being at college football games. Whether you have season tickets or go when you can college football games are a lot more than what the TV shows you.

Gryphons Get Gryphoned By The Bears

How many times in the last five years has a defensive player for the other team think they have made a play and Rocky Mount would get twenty yards or seventy five yards.

Tonight Gryphon football got a taste of their own medicine as Hertford County made the big plays when it looked as if Rocky Mount had made a stop.

What did this game mean to Hertford County? With less than a minute to play HC Coach Scott Privott got a gatorade bath from his players. This is only the fourth game of the season and no trophies were given out Friday night, but Hertford County ended a five game losing streak to the Gryphons when in all five of those loses HC thought they could win even though in some cases the scores were routs.

Talk about making big plays Hertford County picks a Gryphon fumble out of the air on the one yard line and rumbles seventy yard.

A bad snap from center on a extra point results in a two point pass play for the Bears.

As time is running out in the half Rocky Mount deflects a pass in the end zone caught by the intended receiver as he laid on the ground.

I can't count the times the Gryphon defense had HC in 3rd and twelve and they got a first down.

Tonight Hertford County made the plays and Rocky Mount paid the price.

If you look back over the years Rocky Mount has had a tough time defensing a scat back quarter back and tonight Rocky Mount had no answer for Antonio Vaughn who by the way got a hundred yards against us last year.

HC rushed for 268 yards and I would suspect most of that came on third down. Rocky Mount was held to 161 rushing but I bet they had several running plays that lost ten yards or more.

Collins Cuthrell passed for 102 yards on 9-17 passing but he was pressured all night in fact he had to make a throw left handed on one pass which he completed.

Too much Hertford County as the Bears whip Rocky Mount 41-21.

In other local action Northern Nash loses another close game 13-7 to South Central. Tarboro took it easy on North Edgecombe winning 46-6. Hunt also drops from the unbeaten ranks getting ripped by Southwest Edgecombe 42-8. Beddingfield beat Fike 27-7.

The only conference member to win was Southern Nash a 21-16 winner over Roanoke Rapids. I don't want to burst any Southern Nash fans bubble but that is not a good score for Southern. Southern is now 4-0.

Good news for Nash Central fans they did not play tonight. Almost all that did play wish they didn't as the Big East goes one win and four losses. Tough night to be from Nash County
