NORFOLK, VA -- North Carolina A&T isn't just the conference opener for Norfolk State; the Aggies are a measuring stick. Although the Spartans (1-1) are three weeks into the season, it's hard to figure where they'll rank in this fall's MEAC race. And if they beat A&T for the third straight time, the answer still won't be all that clear. But a loss - even to an improved North Carolina A&T team - would be a troubling barometer.
Aggies Michael Ferguson, the MEAC's best back, is ready to runover the Norfolk State Spartans at 4 pm on Saturday.
"If we do what we're capable of doing, we should win the game," summed up NSU coach Pete Adrian of today's 4 p.m. Fish Bowl Classic at Price Stadium. North Carolina A&T comes in riding high after a 2-0 start, the best since 2003. The Aggies had not won a game since Oct. 15, 2005, a span of 27 contests.Third-year coach Lee Fobbs didn't know what a victory felt like at North Carolina A&T until this year's opener. The Aggies defeated Division II Johnson C. Smith in that one and followed that with a victory over Winston-Salem State.
