MEAC coaches aware of FAMU's Ukpai

NORFOLK, Va. — Florida A&M sophomore quarterback Martin Ukpai isn't going to be surprising anyone this season with his combo-threat abilities. He put that on display in the final game last season when he was pressed into action in place of injured Curtis Pulley. He wowed the Florida Classic crowd and left quite an impression that coaches around the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference couldn't avoid noticing. None of them were ready to call him the second coming of Pulley during the conference's Media Day, but he seemingly has gained their respect.

That much was obvious when coaches talked about what they had to look forward to during the coming season. "We need to be especially cognizant of the fact that this guy is a very good football player," said South Carolina State coach Buddy Pough. "He will only get better. It will be interesting to see how much he improves by the time he gets to us."
