GREENSBORO, North Carolina — At last, the Aggies are home again.It’s been more than a month since N.C. A&T’s football season-opener at Aggie Stadium, six long weeks — and four road games — since the lopsided victory over Division II Shaw.
A lot can change in 42 days. And A&T is indeed a different team as the Aggies (4-1, 2-0 MEAC) prepare to host Bethune-Cookman (5-1, 3-0) in a game that means everything for both.
Win, and a berth in the inaugural Celebration Bowl remains in play. Lose, and football in December could become a pipe dream.
“Your season is basically determined in weeks 5, 6, 7,” A&T coach Rod Broadway said. “Those weeks are critical in determining what type of football team you have. We’ve made some improvement, but we have a lot of work left to do to continue that improvement. We’re a little bit better than the team that opened up here against Shaw — what? — two years ago? At least that’s what it feels like.”
