A&T speeds to comeback victory over Hampton

GREENSBORO, North Carolina — Speed is the great equalizer. Speed can atone for mistakes and hide flaws.  Speed can win games.

Tarik Cohen ran for 155 yards on 24 carries, scored touchdowns on a 68-yard screen pass and a 60-yard run, and N.C. A&T came back from a halftime deficit to beat Hampton 31-14 Thursday night at Aggie Stadium.

Cohen left proof of his elusive, cutback running style on the field: Three times the sophomore’s cuts were so sharp and quick that he ran out of a shoe, leaving a black cleat stuck in the turf and running stocking footed.

“He’s the best running back I’ve ever played with,” freshman quarterback Hasaan Klugh said. “When I first got here and saw him, I didn’t understand what all the big talk was about. But now that I’ve seen him play, the boy is amazing. He’s a playmaker.”
