GREENSBORO, N.C. — Redshirt freshman quarterback Austin Trainor will start today for the Florida A&M football team against North Carolina A&T. FAMU coach Joe Taylor said late Friday night that Trainor, a North Florida Christian graduate, is getting the start while Martin Ukpai works through personal issues. Taylor denied rumors that Ukpai had withdrawn from a class and became ineligible to finish the season.

Even with North Carolina A&T having a 1-8 record, Florida A&M coach Joe Taylor wasn't just spewing out some quotable lines for the media during his weekly news conference when he tried to explain how dangerous the Aggies are. "I know what type of guy he is," Taylor said, referring to Aggies coach Alonzo Lee. "He is not a quitter and his team won't quit."
