Series Record: This is the first ever meeting between North Carolina A&T and North Carolina.Getting To Know N.C. A&T
The Aggies enter the second week of the season looking to maintain the momentum they created in a 61-7 drubbing of Division II opponent Shaw last weekend. A&T posted 413 yards while allowing just 81 yards in the victory.
The Aggies are led by a familiar face in Chapel Hill in former UNC assistant coach and All-ACC defensive lineman Rod Broadway (1974-77). Broadway has posted a 29-17 record as the Aggies’ head coach and picked up the 97th win of his coaching career in the opener against Shaw. He’s turned around a program that was saddled with NCAA sanctions due to low graduation rates when he took over in 2011.
The Aggies went 9-3 in 2014 (6-2 MEAC), clinching a five-way share of the MEAC Title. The Aggies missed out on the FCS Playoffs, however, losing out in a tie-breaker to Morgan State. Junior running back Tarik Cohen was named Co-Offensive Player of the Year for the MEAC. The Aggies averaged 32.3 points per game while allowing 13.9.
