Greensboro News-RecordThe N.C. A&T Aggies, entirely overdue for some good news, got it this week when quarterback Herb Miller learned he will probably return to action this season after all.
Miller suffered a knee injury in the season's second game, a 22-7 loss to Prairie View A&M in Los Angeles. The ailment was originally believed to be comparable to the one that ended his 2006 campaign in late October, but new tests this week offered a more positive diagnosis. He will now be in uniform for Saturday's home game with N.C. Central and could return to action shortly thereafter.
Redshirt freshman Shelton Morgan will start for the second straight game against the Eagles and will seek to improve on last week's performance, a 9-for-28 showing that featured two second-half interceptions against Hampton.
Miller became a team leader during the offseason, when he returned to the field four months after surgery that was supposed to keep him out for twice that long. He sustained his most recent injury when his cleats got caught in the turf at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum.
A&T (0-3) is seeking to break a 19-game losing streak, the longest run of futility in the NCAA's two highest football classifications.
