JCSU Announces 2004 Football Schedule

CHARLOTTE, NC - Johnson C. Smith University has announced its 2004 football schedule, including three home games, two of which will be played at the Irwin Belk Complex.

Like most of their CIAA counterparts, JCSU's schedule has taken on a new look from last year. NC Central University - the first game of the season...Homecoming - the last game of the season, only two games versus eastern division foes and the final regular season game in October.

Being on the road seems to be what JCSU has to look forward to as they play the first six of the 10-game schedule on the road. The season opener will see the Golden Bulls taking on the Eagles of NC Central University on August 28. The last time the Golden Bulls met the Eagles in Durham, JCSU spoiled the Eagles' Homecoming 29-14.

This is the first time that JCSU has played Wofford College in any intercollegiate sport.

On October 9, the first home game of the season will feature the Golden Bulls against the Falcons of St. Augustine's College.
