GREENSBORO, N.C. -- For a while on Saturday afternoon at Aggie Stadium, it appeared as though N.C. A&T might steal a MEAC victory from conference rival Florida A&M. However, Florida A&M was able to overcome an early 7-0 deficit, as the Rattlers' defense held banged-up N.C. A&T (3-8, 1-6), to 56 net rushing yards, and forced four turnovers, to rally to a 45-7 blowout victory.A&M junior linebacker Bryan Parker's nine tackles, two sacks, and two fumble recoveries, helped spark the Rattlers' (7-3, 3-3 MEAC) defense. Meanwhile, A&T is now 1-2 in interim head coach George Ragsdale's third game since taking over for the fired Lee Fobbs. "Their defense played lights out today," said Ragsdale. "We've got to meet their intensity on the other side of the ball. When we came out, we didn't have the energy that we've had the past two weeks."
