2015 college football preview | MEAC
1. North Carolina A&T (6-2 MEAC, 9-3 overall in 2014)
The Aggies, 1 of 5 teams – yes, five – to share last season’s MEAC title, return RB Tarik Cohen (1,340 yards, 15 TDs), the league’s preseason Player of the Year. Senior CB Tony McRae said the team doesn’t wear the rings it earned from a shared title. “We don’t call that a championship,” he said. “A championship is one winner.”
2. South Carolina State (6-2, 8-4)
The Bulldogs return nine players from an offense that put up 26.6 points per game last season. S.C. State coach Buddy Pugh has a 105-47 record in 13 years at the school, making him one of the MEAC’s longest-serving and most consistent coaches in terms of wins.
3. Bethune-Cookman (6-2, 9-3)
The Wildcats, outright winners of three of the past five MEAC titles, have a new coach in former assistant Terry Sims. Former head coach Brian Jenkins resigned in December after he was alleged to have violated several NCAA rules, including those involving improper benefits to players, practice time limits and bullying.
