And now-a sports review from Window World. This Saturday in college football we start with NSU. The Spartans returned home. They are looking to bounce back from a painful loss to Delaware State last week. They came into this game with an 0-2 record in the conference, so they are hunting for their first MEAC win of the year. Spartans host Needles. Bailey is starting at quarterback for NSU today, and he started the game just fine. He finished the first half of the game with 149 yards and three touchdowns. It's not hard when you have a receiver like Cam Thomas. Give it here! Six catches for 104 yards. He made everything look so easy today, and that helped make that touchdown happen. The Spartans' first touchdown
today. Bailey passes to tight end Jamison Stevens. Spartans open the score. The next drive, the Eagles tie the score from 50 yards out. Now Bailey throws the ball to athlete Jason Vimonoti, right into his hands, and he reaches for a touchdown. The offense was at its best today, but the defense didn't disappoint either. Jeremiah Henry makes a pass, breaking through on the flank. He gets to the quarterback and throws him to the turf. The defense recorded four sacks and a total of three interceptions. The Spartans confidently controlled the game in the first half and added another point here. Del Jay Bailey keeps the ball for himself for a 6-yard touchdown. The Spartans went into the break
with a score of 20:7. After the break, the defense continued its work. Central closed the gap to one possession and had chances to tie the score on two consecutive drives, but Jordan Saunders threw an interception after a fumble. They practice this every day in training. This is his second interception of the day. It's safe to say that the defense was charged at the start of the second half. Late in the second half, Del Jay Bailey passes to his guy Thomas again. Another tough catch in the fight that brings the Spartans to the 20-yard line. This leads to a touchdown by Jaylen Daniels, who makes his way across the goal line. He won't leave here empty-handed. He does everything he can to give the Spartans a
28-17 advantage. The Eagles responded immediately and closed the gap to one touchdown. They get the ball back with a chance to take the lead. While running, Brenden Thompson does a "pinata punch" to knock the ball out. The ball flies out and Josiah Davis jumps on it to regain possession. The Spartans can stall for time and win. But on second down, they devised a remote play for the quarterback. The Eagles provoke a fumble on their side and get the ball back. So Central eventually scores the winning goal with less than 30 seconds left. The Spartans still had time, they could have won with a field goal, but you saw, it was a miss. The Spartans lose for the second time in a row, leading 29-28. Now 0-3 in the MEAC conference. Head coach Michael
Vick is not happy with this ending. Yes, it's always difficult when you have a chance to win but don't take it. I feel very sorry for the players right now. I don't know what happened at the end of the game. I took off my headset. I gave the command to form a "victorious" formation. All we had to do was just get on our knees and wait for the end of time. It's just a situational game. I don't understand how this could have happened. Uh. I looked up, I see-we're running with the ball, and then I saw a fumble.
