A&T notebook: Aggies' challenge is not looking past Florida A&M

GREENSBORO, North Carolina -- There’s danger in this road trip to Florida, as league-leading N.C. A&T plays at lowly Florida A&M Saturday.

The Aggies (6-1, 4-0) are No. 20 in the FCS national poll and the only unbeaten football team in the MEAC, while Florida A&M (1-6, 1-3) has beaten only winless Delaware State.

A&T plays at South Carolina State next week in a game many believe will determine the league champion and a berth in the inaugural Celebration Bowl in Atlanta.

“We all have that dream: Dec. 19th,” said safety and linebacker Landis Shoffner, a senior from Grimsley. “This is another step toward that.”
