Grambling vs. N.C. A&T is Celebration Bowl many wanted
ATLANTA, Georgia -- North Carolina A&T coach Rod Broadway points out to his players how the windshield in a car dwarfs the size of the rear-view mirror.
"Why is that?" Broadway said. "Because they don't want you looking back too much because you might run into something."
The Aggies, the 11-0 champs of the MEAC, will have had four weeks to bask in the best regular season in program history when they take on SWAC champ Grambling State (11-1) in the third annual Air Force Reserve Celebration Bowl on Saturday at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta (noon ET, ABC).
Yet, Broadway says the Aggies can only look forward. They have a shot at history - a perfect season that would be capped with winning the black college national championship.
The matchup so many wanted all season - N.C. A&T ended the regular season ranked seventh in the FCS and Grambling was 13th, losing only to Tulane - will bring the curtain down on the 125th year of football between the nation's historically black colleges and universities.
