North Carolina Central uses Philly Special to build 7-point lead over Jackson State

North Carolina Central grabs the lead in the Celebration Bowl

North Carolina Central was doing its best to ruin Deion Sanders’ exit from Jackson State and the Tigers’ hopes for a perfect season.

The Eagles drove 73 yards over 11 plays in the fourth quarter to take the lead, 34-27.

Latrell Collier finished the drive with a 7-yard run. The Eagles borrowed from the Philadelphia Eagles with a “Philly Special” on the 2-point conversion and it worked.
