Greensboro, NC - In the eyes of the NCAA, it's a game that never happened. But the leg injuries to N.C. A&T wide receiver Torrian Warren and tailback Mike Mayhew certainly happened.
And so, too, did the breakout games of starting quarterback Lewis Kindle and Ricky Lewis, the backup quarterback who lined up as a slot receiver and flat-out torched the defense of a start-up football program playing its first game in 78 years.
A&T won the first game of the Rod Broadway era, defeating Virginia University of Lynchburg 38-7 on a sultry Saturday at Aggie Stadium. The 11,659 who paid to see it can testify it happened.
Kindle threw four touchdown passes and scored a fifth on a 1-yard quarterback sneak -- although the NCAA won't recognize the stats because VUL is not a member institution. The Dragons are in the application process, hoping to someday rejoin the CIAA, a league they left in 1933.
In the here and now, the Dragons helped A&T. And they hurt A&T.
