GREENSBORO, North Carolina -- Speed.It's still the biggest difference maker in college football.
It's why the SEC wins every year. It's why Clemson and Oregon are probably the only two schools capable of beating SEC schools this year. It's the reason Alabama is the best team in the country.
It's also why A&T beat Appalachian State last week, why the Aggies beat Elon today and why so many people think this could be a special team this year. A&T has speed at all positions ... offense, defense and special teams.
ASU was stunned to realize the Aggies had more athletes than the Mountaineers had. Elon knew it midway through the second quarter when Demonta Brown caught a 60-yard touchdown pass from Lewis Kindle. And when Desmond Lawrence started running free in the second half and every kickoff and punt return looked to be an arm tackle from going the house, Elon knew it was in for a long night.

Hardin: A "little" big deal
GREENSBORO, North Carolina -- A&T rolls on.
Driving 80 yards into the teeth of the Elon defense, leaving the past behind and running headlong into destiny, the Aggies won for the second straight week, taking down the Phoenix 23-10 Saturday night.
Now shed of the Southern Conference, the 2-0 Aggies can turn their attention to what really matters.
“The MEAC,” said quarterback Lewis Kindle. “We’re looking ahead to the MEAC.”
A&T took down Appalachian State last week in Boone and backed it up with a win over a school from less than 20 miles away. Kindle said neither are rivals of the Aggies. Coach Rod Broadway backed him up. “This doesn’t feel like a rivalry,” he said.
There was some angst in the days leading up to it. Elon refused to send game film to A&T, which Broadway said was part of a previous agreement. Earlier in the week, he promised what goes around comes around.
