Winning the new normal for MEAC favorite N.C. A&T Aggies

GREENSBORO, North Carolina -- The rebuilding project is officially over at A&T.

Now it’s just building.

The Aggies will open their football season at 6 p.m. Saturday at home against Division II St. Augustine’s.

It’s a season full of hope for A&T, which has shared the MEAC championship two years in a row and won the inaugural Celebration Bowl in December.

This year’s seniors — even the fifth-year redshirt players — have never experienced a losing season at A&T. Not one.

Let that sink in.

The Aggies are 33-13 (.717) the last four seasons. A&T had losing records in nine of the previous 10 seasons, going a combined 34-80 (.298).
