N.C. A&T is another tough opponent for Norfolk State

NORFOLK, Virginia -- After two weeks of relief from FBS-level opponents, what might be the best FCS team Norfolk State will see this season comes calling.

North Carolina A&T, which leads the MEAC in scoring and was the preseason pick to win the league title, presents the Spartans' latest tall order in today's 2 p.m. game at Dick Price Stadium.

A week after rallying for an improbable 15-12 win at Howard, NSU (2-3, 2-0 MEAC) is hosting one of the other three teams that remain unbeaten in the conference.

"They're a good football team, no question about it," first-year Spartans coach Latrell Scott said. "You can see why they were picked to win the conference."

The Aggies (3-1, 1-0) feature MEAC Preseason Offensive Player of the Year Tarik Cohen, who leads the league with 94.5 rushing yards per game and six touchdowns. The offense averages 33.5 points and 336 yards of total offense per contest.
