Unbeaten A&T heads to Florida A&M for another homecoming
Who: No. 11/15 N.C. A&T (6-0, 3-0 MEAC) at Florida A&M (2-4, 1-2)
When: 3 p.m. Saturday
Where: Bragg Memorial Stadium (25,500), Tallahassee, Fla.
Radio: WCOG-93.7; WCOG-1320
At stake: The Aggies are chasing history. Since joining the MEAC as a founding member in 1971, A&T has never started a season 7-0. The only 7-0 starts in A&T’s 93-year history came in 1927 when the Aggies finished 8-0, and in 1943 when they finished 7-0. … For the Rattlers, it’s homecoming week at Florida A&M, which guarantees a sellout crowd. The program is in the third year of coach Alex Woods’ rebuilding project, but this is a fanbase that expects to win.
Quarterbacks: A&T junior Lamar Raynard is the league’s top passer, averaging 272 yards per game with a 69.7 completion percentage. He’s thrown for 17 touchdowns and just 1 interception. Last week, he became the first Aggies QB with two 300-yard passing games in a single season. … FAMU sophomore Ryan Stanley ranks second to Raynard in yardage, completion percentage and TDs among MEAC quarterbacks, and he’s an elusive and quick scrambler. Stanley leads a potent offense. The Rattlers rolled up 485 yards at Norfolk State last week, but lost because of five turnovers.
