Prairie View A&M vs. North Carolina A&T

Prairie View A&M vs. North Carolina A&T

When/where: 4:30 p.m. Saturday; Los Angeles Coliseum.

Records: Prairie View A&M 1-0; North Carolina A&T 0-1.

Radio: 91.3 FM.

Series record: First meeting between the two schools.

What's at stake: A win in the Angel City Classic would give the Panthers only their second 2-0 start since 1964.

Prairie View update: The Panthers allowed 463 yards but got five sacks and forced four turnovers in a 34-14 win over Texas Southern. The special teams added a blocked field goal and solid efforts from P Pedro Ventura and SWAC special-teams player of the week K Brady Faggard.

Panthers to watch: QB Chris Gibson accounted for 226 yards of offense in the win over TSU. LB Zach East was named SWAC defensive player of the week after recording 13 tackles and a sack.

North Carolina A&T at a glance: The Aggies, who play in the Mideastern Athletic Conference, had just 216 yards and four turnovers in a lackluster 28-7 loss at Winston-Salem State. Lee Fobbs has yet to win in 12 games as Aggies coach. The Aggies have a 17-game losing streak.

Aggies to watch: RB Michael Ferguson had 64 yards rushing last week. Sophomore QB Herbert Miller threw for A&T's only score and is a productive runner.
