GREENSBORO, N.C. -- Carlton Fears: That's a name, not a complete sentence. Rest assured that N.C. A&T's new starting quarterback isn't afraid of very much. Thrust into action when Herbert Miller suffered a concussion at Norfolk State last week, Fears did make a couple of mistakes. He also showed off a strong arm and an undeniably confident approach that he'll take into his first NCAA start at Hampton on Saturday night.
"I was nervous on the sidelines," he admitted Wednesday. "But once you get in there, you lose the nerves and start playing ball. I believed I would bring us back." He nearly pulled it off, throwing for one touchdown and setting up another as the Aggies, down 20 points at the half, put a scare into the Spartans in an eventual 27-21 loss. "He's a go-getter," Aggies coach Lee Fobbs said. "He's an athletic guy who has a big arm. And, no, there is no fear on his part."
