Week 8 FCS Football Scoreboard

Let’s look at the 8th week of FCS Football in the Old North State.

Eagles quarterback Malcolm Bell threw for 207 yards and a score in the loss. Kicker Eric Fenton missed three field goals in the loss.

Elon scored first but then never again. Stony Brook running back Stacey Bedell had 25 carries for 118 yards and a score. The Sea Wolves shutdown the Elon offense and just kept them at arms length throughout the game.

A shootout occurred up in Lexington between the Bulldogs and the Keydets. Gardner-Webb scored the first fourteen on their way to a 21-13 lead at the half.
