AGGIES PREPARE FOR BACK-TO-BACK MEAC ROAD GAMES

► The Aggies are coming off a 37-0 shutout of the Delaware State Hornets on Thursday. It was the Aggies second straight shutout in conference play.

► The Aggies have only given up 12 points in their last three conference games and they given up points in only two of the last 12 quarters they have played against conference teams.

► A&T has won five straight conference games. All five of those wins have come by double figures. The Aggies have won their last two MEAC games by a total of 82-0. They have won their last five conference games by a total of 182-42.

► But the Aggies next two MEAC games are on the road, at Norfolk State on Saturday and at Florida A&M on Oct. 19.

► A&T has played well on the road against FCS opponents, however. The last time the Aggies lost on the road to an FCS opponent was a 39-10 loss to Richmond in the playoffs on Nov. 26, 2016.

► A&T has won 13 straight games away from BB&T Stadium against FCS opponents. The last road loss the Aggies endured in conference play was Nov. 19, 2016 at N.C. Central.

► The Aggies won their seventh straight MEAC opener with their win over Delaware State on Thursday. The Aggies are seeking their fifth MEAC championship in the last six years. It will be the best run by an MEAC team since S.C. State won five of six from 1977-83.

► Senior wide receiver Elijah Bell is now the Ag-gies all-time leader in receiving yards with 2,475 and couning. Bell got the record two weeks ago at CSU on a 42-yard reception.

► He already owns the school’s all-time touchdown receptions record (26) and needs one reception to become the school’s all-time leader in catches. Bell is tied with Herbert Harbison (83-86) and Wallace Miles (2006-09) with 172 career catches. He made nine receptions on Thursday to tie Harbison and Miles.

► Jah-Maine Martin had another stellar game in which he rushed for 108 yards and four touchdowns on 14 carries. He leads the nation in rushing touch-downs (8), he is second in rushing yards per game (135.8) and fifth in rushing yards (543).

► All-American cornerback Mac McCain III did not play in the Aggies first three games as he is recov-ered from his season-ending knee injury from 2018. The Aggies gave up 799 yards passing over their first three games.

RUNNING BACK U CONTINUED

► Smith is more known as a San Francisco 49er where he was a two-time Pro Bowler and ranks sixth all-time in rushing for the franchise.

► In the 80’s and 90’s Bill Hayes in-troduced the Wing-T to Aggies football and it produced the Aggies first 1,000-yard rusher in James White.

► It also produced 1,000-yard backs Milton Shaw, Maurice Smith and Mau-rice Hicks.

► In fact Hicks rushed for 2,812 yards in only 20 games played includ-ing a 437-yard game against Morgan State in 2000. Smith would go on to build a career with the Atlanta Falcons, while Hicks went on to be a successful running back for the 49ers.

► Then of course Cohen stepped on the scene and broke the MEAC rushing record at 5,619 yards as he put togeth-er four straight 1,000-yard seasons.

...OF THE YEAR

► A&T has dominated in the post-season superlatives since the 2011 season.

► The Aggies have received at least one MEAC player of the year superlative each year except for 2012 since the 2011.

► The Aggies have won an impres-sive five player of the year awards from the MEAC since 2011 including Tarik Cohen’s three (2014-16) and Mike Mayhew’s (2011) and Lamar Raynard’s (2017) one apiece.

► In the rookie of the year category, the Aggies have claimed the award twice since 2011 including Cohen in 2013 and Elijah Bell in 2016.

► The Aggies have won offensive lineman of the year four times since 2011 with current Oakland Raider Brandon Parker winning three (2015-17) and Micah Shaw winning the honor in 2018.

► A&T has captured two MEAC coach of the year accolades with Rod Broadway winning in 2017 and Sam Washington winning COTY in 2018. MALE ATHLETE OF THE YEAR

► The players in his class included Macquel Hardy, wide receiver Jordan McDaniel and linebacker Chris Mosley.

► He graduated from A&T in the spring of 2018. He graduated in 3 1/2 years and is now seeking a degree in biomedical engineering.

MARTIN BECOMES STARTER AT RUNNING BACK U

► North Carolina A&T has long had a tradition of producing great running backs.

► Junior running back Jah-Maine Martin joined Running Back U last season after transferring from Coastal Carolina.

► He earned third-team all-confer-ence honors by rushing for 656 yards and a team-leading seven touchdowns as Marquell Cartwright’s backup.

► This season Martin will take over as the starter after Cartwright achieved back-to-back 1,000-yard rushing seasons.

► But the Aggies RB tradition did not start with Cartwright or even current Chicago Bear Tarik Cohen.

► The Aggies consists of 11 gentlemen who have been on NFL rosters.

► Eleven times in Aggies history, an Aggies tailback has had a 1,000-yard season. An amazing 12 Aggies have averaged 5.0 yards per carry or more for their respective careers (300 or more carries).

► The legacy of Aggie RBs is so rich, it even includes College Baseball Hall of Famer Al Holland.

► The modern-day Running Back U is believed to have started with James Fisher and Bob “Stonewall” Jackson in the late 40’s and early 50’s.

► Jackson and Fisher led the Aggies to the 1950 Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association title in 1950.

► Fisher averaged 5.6 yards per carry and scored seven touchdowns. Jackson, a fullback, was drafted by the New York Giants in 1950.

► J.D. Smith, Jr., was the first legend. After compiling more than 1,500 rushing yards and 21 touchdowns as an Aggie, Smith was drafted by the Chicago Bears in 1955.

► George Ragsdale, who played for Washington and Tampa Bay, took over the duties in the 70’s along with Holland.

BELL GOES AFTER AGGIES RECEIVING RECORDS

► Elijah Bell comes into the 2019 season with large expectations and desires on toppling many of the Aggies receiving records.

► Bell has already toppled two Aggie records. Bell became the Aggies all-time touchdown receptions leader on Aug. 31 with an incredible one-handed grab in the corner of the end zone at BB&T Stadium against Elon.

► He then became the Aggies all-time leader in receiving yards with a 42-yard reception at Charleston Southern on Sept. 14.

► Bell was the 2016 MEAC Rookie of the Year as well as an All-MEAC selection with a freshman record 631 receiving yards and eight touchdowns.

► His 953 yards receiving as a sophomore was the second-best single season performance in school history. He was 47 yards shy of becoming only the second player in school history to earn a 1,000-yard receiving season. His 64 catches was the second-best single-season performance in history.

► Bell is one reception shy of becoming the school’s all-time leader in catches passing Wallace Miles and Harbison.

REPLACING A LEGEND ... AGAIN

► It is now Kylil Carter’s turn. ► In 2016, Tarik Cohen finished his

career at A&T as the MEAC’s all-time leading rusher, a three-time conference player of the year and a 2017 fourth-round draft pick of the Chicago Bears.

► That left Marquell Cartwright left with the responsibility of having to replace one of the greatest players in school history.

► He did so by putting together two straight 1,000-yard rushing seasons, two first-team All-MEAC honors and a Celebration Bowl Offensive MVP honor while helping the Aggies win back-to-back MEAC, Celebration Bowl and HBCU tites.

► In 2017, N.C. A&T head coach Rod Broadway retired after spending seven seasons in Aggieland and going 59-22 (.728) with two MEAC championships, two HBCU titles and two Celebration Bowl victories. He also retired with the best winning percentage in school history.

► In stepped Broadway’s defensive coordinator Sam Washington who in his first season as head coach, led the Aggies to a 10-2 record that included MEAC, HBCU and Celebration Bowl championships. He was also named the 2018 MEAC Coach of the Year.

► Now it is quarterback Kylil Carter’s turn. He will have to replace Lamar Raynard who could be the most suc-cessful quarterback in MEAC history with three conference championships, three HBCU national championships and three Celebration Bowl wins as he earned the game’s offensive MVP honor in 2018.

► Carter, however, is no stranger to the lineup. He has earned valuable time behind Raynard in his career including a crucial game-winning toss against S.C. State in 2015.

► He also helped the Aggies upset ECU last season by throwing two fourth-quarter touchdown passes to lead A&T to a 28-23 win.

► Carter was also insturmental in the Aggies upset win over Kent State in 2016 by throwing for a touchdown pass and rushing for 32 yards on 11 carries.

► Carter missed last season’s Cele-bration Bowl against Alcorn State after sustaining serious injuries in an auto-mobile accident. He did earn playing time in the 2015 Celebration Bowl.

THE PETTIFORD JOURNEY TO GREATNESS

► Marcus Pettiford is one of the best offensive lineman on the FCS level.

► Prior to the 2019 season, he has already earned preseason All-American honors from STATS, Phil Steele Maga-zine HERO Sports and BoxToRow.

► He enters the 2019 season a two-time first-team All-MEAC selection and he was named first-team preseason All-MEAC for 2019.

► But Pettiford almost missed out on all of those accolades. Pettiford, a 6-foot-4, 283-pound Durham native, was an instant standout when he arrived in Greensboro in 2015.

► He started at right tackle as a true freshman leading the Aggies to a MEAC title and a HBCU national championship.

► But Pettiford ran into acdemic issues as he was preparing to enter his sophomore season. He did not have the grades to return to A&T and there-fore had to return home to Durham.

► He sat out the 2016 season and work his way back on the team through summer school. He also received help from a learning specialist the university hired through an NCAA grant.

► Pettiford returned a secured a 3.32 -grade point average for 2017, worked his way back on the team and helped the Aggies win back-to-back MEAC and HBCU titles. PRESEASON RANKINGS

► A&T entered the season national-ly-ranked for the fourth straight season.

► The NCAA FCS coaches poll ranked the Aggies No. 19 coming into the season while the FCS STATS me-dia poll has the Aggies at No. 20.

► Last season the Aggies finished ranked No. 12 overall after defeating Alcorn State in the Celebration Bowl.

► It marked the fourth straight sea-son the Aggies have finished national-ly-ranked which is a school record. The Aggies were ranked as high as fourth in 2018 for the best school ranking in school history.

MISSING MCCAIN

► The Aggies have been without their All-American cornerback for the first three games of the season.

► Eight games into the season, McCain tore his ACL at Bethune-Cook-man forcing him to miss the Aggies final four games including the 2018 Air Force Reserve Celebration Bowl.

► Despite the injury, McCain still earned first-team All-MEAC honors and All-American honors from HERO Sports. The injury didn’t seem to bother media outlets prior to the 2019 season either. McCain was placed on the Buck Bu-chanan Award Watch List by FCS STATS for best defensive player in the nation. FCS STATS also listed him as a presea-son All-American. He was aslo on the Deacon Jones Award Watch List for best black college football player. The Aggies faced a tough non-conference schedule including a game against a ranked FCS opponent and another game at Duke.

► He did play against Delaware State where he had three tackles and a pass breakup.

BAM MAKES 53-MAN ROSTER

► Former A&T defensive end Darryl “Bam” Johnson, Jr. was selected with the 225th overall pick in the seventh of the 2019 NFL Draft by the Buffalo Bills. On Aug. 31, the Bills announced he will be a part of their 53-man roster this season.

► Johnson’s selection gave the A&T football program a draft selection for the third straight season following be-hind running back Tarik Cohen (Chica-go Bears) in 2017 and offensive tackle Brandon Parker (Oakland Raiders) in 2018.

► Johnson was coming off a 2018 season in which he won defensive player of the year from the MEAC.

► Johnson became the first Aggie to win the award since Chris McNeil did in 1997. He is the eighth different player to win the award for the Aggies program. He led the MEAC in sacks (10.5) and tackles for loss (18.5) while ranking 10th in the nation in both cat-egories. He also made 47 tackles (29 unassisted).

► Johnson was also up for STATS FCS Defensive Player of the Year (the Buck Buchanan Award), where he finished 11th in the voting.

► Johnson is also a finalist for the Deacon Jones Trophy presented by the Black College Football Hall of Fame to the best black college football player in the country.

► Johnson hopes to follow in the footsteps of the last two defensive players of the year from the MEAC.

► S.C. State’s Javon Hargrove was the MEAC Defensive Player of the Year in 2015 and went on to start as a rookie for the Pittsburgh Steelers after the team drafted him in the third round.

► Darius Leonard was taken in the second round by the Indianapolis Colts out of S.C. State.

► After winning back-to-back defen-sive player of the year awards, Leonard went on to star for the Colts as a rookie earning a trip to the Pro Bowl and defensive rookie of the year honors.

ALL IN THE FAMILY

► The name Franklin McCain holds a lot of lore at N.C. A&T. Franklin McCain and three other N.C. A&T students staged a sit-in at the Woolworth’s lunch counter in Greensboro on Feb. 1, 1960 to protest the store’s policy of refusing to serve black customers.

► The foursome went on to be known as the Greensboro Four and are credited with ushering in the mod-ern-day civil rights movement.

► McCain, who died in 2013, has a monument created in his honor along with the other Greensboro Four in Ezell Blair (now Jibreel Khazan), Joseph McNeil and David Richmond.

► McCain’s grandson sophomore Franklin McCain III better known as Mac is creating his own legacy at A&T.

► As a freshman, McCain was a third-team AP All-American and a Phil Steele FCS Freshman All-American.

► McCain has four career pick-6’s in his career including one apiece against FBS opponents — Charlotte and ECU.

► He has eight career interceptions for 374 return yards. McCain also has 25 career pass deflections.

DOING CHICKEN

► The Aggies have a couple of say-ings that have sustained them during their run.

► One of those sayings is “we just do chicken.”

► Former Aggies head coach Rod Broadway came up with the saying prior to the Aggies 2015 game against his alma mater, the University of North Carolina.

► When asked if the Aggies plan do anything different against the Tar Heels considering they were an ACC team with many more financial resources, Broadway compared his football team to KFC.

► “We’re like KFC,” he said. “We don’t do burgers, we don’t do fish, we do chicken. I understand KFC does gizzards, so we might throw in some gizzards every once in a while. But for the most part, we do chicken.”

► So what is doing chicken all about? ► A&T is going to protect the football,

stop the run and win the kicking game. That’s doing chicken. From Broadway to Sam Washington, that philosophy will never change. Therefore, the Aggies do chicken.

► Another saying that has gotten traction is the mantra, “When some-thing bad happens, keep playing. When something good happens, keep playing.”

► There are ups and downs and ad-versity throughout a football game and life. Therefore, you must keep playing. NEW OFFENSIVE LINE STARTERS

► A&T’s two starting tackles -- Mar-cus Pettiford and Dontae Keys -- are preseason first-team All-MEAC selec-tions. The rest of the offensive line are new starters. Center Dacquari Wilson has the most experienced playing over 300 snaps last season.

► But the Aggies two guards, Eastern Kentucky transfer De’jour Simpson and redshirt freshman Lawrence Lagrone are new to the lineup. Lagrone is replacing MEAC Offensive Lineman of the Year Micah Shaw.

►


TRANSFERS TO WATCH

► A&T is looking to close out the decade as the most successful football program in the MEAC over the past 10 years.

► The decade has seen the Aggies capture three MEAC titles, three HBCU national championships and three Celebration Bowl trophies.

► The Aggies are 74-35 (.679) during the decade and transfers have helped the Aggies along the way.

► Players such as linebacker Antoine Wilder, tight end Trey Scott, cornerback Deji Olatoye, defensive end Sam Blue and rover/linebacker Richie Kittles have made valuable contributions to the Aggies success.

► This season should be no differ-ent for the Aggies in terms of transfer contributions.

► With All-American corner Mac McCain III recovering from injury, Penn State transfer Jabari Butler could play a major factor early in the season. Butler has big-play ability and experience.

► A&T is loaded at wide receiver with players such as Elijah Bell and Zachary Leslie returning. But the addi-tions of Korey Banks out of the Uni-versity of South Carolina and Taymon Cooke out of Marshall University should make the Aggies offense even more dangerous.

► He was not a new transfer, but Uni-versity of North Carolina transfer Darius Graves was looking to make an impact before being injured at Duke.

► EKU transfer De’jour Simpson should be the Aggies starting left guard. this season.

CARTER’S COLLECTION OF RECEIVERS IS OUTSTANDING

► Graduate quarterback Kylil Carter should have plenty of good choice to throw to in his first season as the Aggies starter.

► The Aggies had a foursome of receivers last season in Zachary Leslie, Elijah Bell, Malik Wilson and Ron Hunt who caught 152 passes for 1,959 yards and 20 touchdowns.

► Leslie led the way with 676 yards receiving and nine touchdowns on 50 receptions. For his efforts, he was named third-team All-MEAC.

► Bell, who will go down as one of the best receivers in school history, had six touchdown receptions, 48 catches and 541 yards receiving.

► The only man gone from that foursome is Wilson, but the Aggies did plenty to replace him. Hunt could be out for the season with a hamstring injury.

► The Aggies added transfers Tay-mon Cooke out of Marshall and Korey Banks out of South Carolina. A&T also has an excellent young receiver in redshirt freshman Chance Pride. NO RICHIE KITTLES FOR A&T

► A&T starting rover and 2018 Cel-ebration Bowl Defensive MVP Richie Kittles could miss the 2019 season after being diagnosed with a torn ACL.

► The injury occurred during the offseason and could sideline Kittles for the remainder of the season.

► Kittles made 40 tackles (24 un-assisted) last season with three pass breakups and 5.5 tackles for loss.

THE GREATEST DEFENSE ON EARTH

► A&T never has a player with an enormous amount of tackles or a player with big interception numbers, but what they do have is one of the most consis-tent defenses the nation has seen over the past nine years.

► The Aggies were once again one of the best defenses in the nation. For seven years (2011-17), their defense was ran by Sam Washington. Wash-ington became the Aggies head coach in 2018 leading the way for Courtney Coard to become the co-defensive coordinator.

► The tradition has continued under Coard. The Aggies have led the MEAC in total defense the past four seasons.

► A&T has led the MEAC in rush defense in seven out of the last eight seasons.

► The Aggies have had the best scoring defense in the league three straight years. Nationally, the Aggies have finished outside the top-10 in total defense only twice in the past eight years.

► In the last eight years nationally, A&T has finished now lower than 18th in total defense.

► The Aggies have finished in the top-10 in rush defense nationally seven out of the last eight years.

► During the Aggies current run of successful defenses, they have had only two players record 100 tackles in a season.

► D’Vonte Grant and Brian Houston had 102 and 100 tackles respectively in 2013.

2019 N.C. A&T FOOTBALL ROSTERGAME 5 • N.C. A&T vs. NORFOLK STATE • OCTOBER 5, 2019 • DICK PRICE STADIUM

Sam Washington became the 19th head football coach in North Carolina A&T State history on January 9, 2018. Washington also serves as the Aggies co-defensive coordinator.

In his first season as the Aggies head coach, Washington led N.C. A&T to its 10th MEAC championship. Also in his first season, Washington led the Aggies to their second straight Celebration Bowl victory and their third in four years. The Aggies were also named HBCU national champions in Washing-ton’s first season as the Aggies finished 2018 10-2. For his efforts, Washington became the second N.C. A&T rookie coach to capture MEAC coach of the year as he tied the school record for wins by a first-year coach.

Prior to being promoted to head coach, Washington served as the Aggies defensive coordinator and secondary coach for seven years under legendary head coach Rod Broadway. In 2015, he was promoted to associate head coach. He has established himself as one of the best defensive minds in Division I-FCS.

Under Washington, the Aggies have finished out the top-20 in total defense only once nationally. In two of those seasons, they were second nationally in total defense. The run defense has finished outside the top-10 nationally

only once including leading the nation in run defense in 2013.

In three of Washington’s eight sea-sons, the Aggies have finished among the top-10 teams in passing defense efficiency including No. 1 in 2012. The Aggies have been the MEAC’s No. 1 total defense and scoring defense five times in the past eight years. They have had the No. 1 total defense in the conference four straight seasons. N.C. A&T has also had the No. 1 rush defense in the conference seven times in eight years.

In his role as the secondary coach, seven different cornerbacks have earned All-MEAC success in D’Vonte Graham, Justin Ferrell, Tony McRae, Donald Mattocks, Marquis Boyan,

Timadre Abram and Frank “Mac” McCain III with only Boyan not earning first-team honors. Graham, McRae, Mattocks and McCain have all earned All-American honors from various orga-nizations. Two of Washington’s corners – McRae and Ayodeji Olatoye – spent multiple seasons on NFL rosters.

Olatoye made the Dallas Cowboys 53-man roster in 2015 and playing the Super Bowl in 2017. McRae has played the past two seasons for the Cincinnati Bengals and started a game in 2018.

Before arriving at A&T, Washington spent four seasons as Grambling’s de-fensive backs coach under Broadway. Washington played a significant role in the Tigers’ dominating defense in 2007. Nationally, the Tigers ranked 12th in total defense. The next season, Gram-bling led the nation in turnover margin and was third in scoring defense. Defensive back Desmond Lenard was ninth in the nation in interceptions per game. Three other defensive backs ranked among the Top-50 in intercep-tions per game that season.

Before Washington came to Grambling, he spent five years at his alma mater Mississippi Valley State. Washington served as an assistant head coach and

defensive coordinator in addition to his customary role as the defensive backs coach. In his first season at MVSU, he transformed the Delta Devils defense from one of the worst defenses in the SWAC into the league’s No. 2 ranked defense.

Before returning to MVSU, Washington spent one season (2001) as N.C. A&T’s special teams coordinator under head coach Bill Hayes. Under Washington, the Aggies had one of the best special teams seasons in school history. The Aggies led the nation in punt return yardage per game with punt returner Curtis Deloatch breaking the NCAA’s single-season record for punt return touchdowns. Punter Yonnick Mat-thews was second in the MEAC in punting.

Washington also spent eight seasons at N.C. Central as the school’s assistant head coach and defensive coordinator. Led by All-American Buddy Crutchfield, Adrian Jones and Trei Oliver in 1996, Washington put together one of the best Division II de-fensive backfields as the Eagles went 8-3 with the best pass defense in the CIAA. In 1992, he began work at Johnson C. Smith. He was named the assistant head coach. His other duties included being the defensive and special teams coordinator, the defensive backs coach and the head track and field coach.

Washington’s coaching profession also includes a stint with Bethune-Cookman (1987-92), where he helped the Wildcats take a share of the 1988 MEAC champi-onship. In 1998, he secured an internship

with the NFL’s Tampa Bay Buccaneers under legendary head coach Tony Dungy.

Washington spent four seasons in the NFL with stops in Pittsburgh and Cincinnati. As a member of the Pittsburgh Steelers, Washington intercepted at least one pass in five consecutive games during the 1984 season. Before making it to the NFL, Washington played cornerback for Missis-sippi Valley State where he battled daily in practice with a wide receiver named Jerry Rice.

Washington earned a B.S., degree in physical education from MVSU in 1982. He was inducted into the MVSU Hall of Fame in 2006. He and his wife Donna have one son, Jarvis.

A&T 24, Elon 21Aug. 31, 2019 BB&T Stadium

Greensboro, N.C.

EAST GREENSBORO - The biggest scare for North Carolina A&T head football coach Sam Washington was not junior Noel Ruiz’s game-winning 52-yard field goal as time expired that downed No. 21 Elon 24-21 Saturday night at BB&T Stadium. Despite Ruiz missing two prior field goals in the game, Washington has witnessed Ruiz hit 50 yarders plenty of times in practice. The scariest part for Washington was the play that hap-pened before the field goal attempt. The 19th-ranked Aggies nearly ran the clock out on the previous play which would have sent the game into overtime. Instead, a play that started with nine seconds remaining in the game and included graduate quarterback Kylil Carter scramble around the field before tossing a pass downfield that Korey Banks caught out of bounds, left one second on the clock. There was enough time for Ruiz to boot the game-winner despite missing from 43 and 40 yards earlier in the game.Washington said he did not even watch the play that ended with Banks landing out of bounds because he was too busy see if the clock was going to tick down to zero. The one second remaining on the clock allowed Ruiz to make history.His 52-yard field goal tied a school record first set by Yonnick Mathews on Sept. 27, 2003 at Elon. It was the Aggies first 50-yard field goal since Carlos Davalos hit a 50-yarder in Raleigh to beat N.C. Central in 2004. Ruiz also has the Aggies first game-winning field goal since Davalos’ kick against NCCU. All three of Ruiz’s attempts had plenty of leg and they all occurred in the fourth quarter with the game tied at 21. His first missed kick went wide left and left the game tied with 10:07 remaining. The second missed kick also went to left leaving 2:35 on the clock.

Duke 45, A&T 13Sept. 7, 2019 Wallace Wade Stadium

Durham, N.C.

DURHAM - When you have the type of success the North Carolina A&T program has had over the past decade it is easy to forget the team that defeated them 45-13 on Saturday night at Wallace Wade Stadium is from a Power Five confer-ence called the ACC and their name is Duke. While not the in the elite category of their men’s bas-ketball team, the Blue Devils have won three straight bowl games, had a quarterback drafted in the top-10 of the NFL Draft last spring and they have all the advantages that come with being Duke. Despite being major underdogs on Saturday, however, the Aggies did take the lead twice before the final three minutes of the second half derailed any hopes they had of upsetting the Blue Devils. N.C. A&T scored the first points of the game after stopping the Blue Devils on 4th-and-1 from the Duke 40-yard line. Sev-en plays later, junior placekicker Noel Ruiz booted a 40-yard field goal to give the Aggies a 3-0 first-quarter lead with 7:14 remaining in the first quarter. Duke took their first lead 75 seconds later as Quentin Harris took advantage of an Aggies defensive back falling to connect with Jalon Calhoun for a 38-yard touchdown pass. N.C. A&T, who came into the game with three wins over Divi-sion I-FBS programs in three years, started to give the Aggie faithful hope they would take down the biggest giant of them all as junior running back Jah-Maine Martin ran 66 yards for a touchdown to give the Aggies a 10-7 lead four minutes into the second quarter.

A&T 27, CSU 21Sept. 14, 2019 Buccaneer Field

Charleston, S.C.

CHARLESTON, S.C. - There is truly a tradition of greatness at the running back position at a university when 299 yards rushing is the third-best single-game performance in the football program’s history.

Junior running back Jah-Maine Martin added to the lore that is Running Back U., at N.C. A&T by rushing for 299 yards and two touchdowns to lead the Aggies to a come-from-be-hind 27-21 win over Charleston Southern Saturday night at Buccaneer Field.

Former Aggie running back Maurice Hicks holds the best two performances with a then NCAA record 437 yards rushing at Morgan State in 2001 and 353 yards rushing against S.C. State in 2000.

Martin’s two touchdowns went for 84 and 76 yards respective-ly. His 84-yard run is the fifth-best in school history tied with Tarik Cohen (2016) and Michael Basnight (1996).

Martin’s spectacular night and the Aggies comeback overshadowed another great mark in school history. Senior wide receiver Elijah Bell became the Aggies all-time leading receiver in yards breaking a record Herbert Harbison had for more than three decades. Bell broke the record on a 42-yard reception from graduate quarterback Kylil Carter with 9:23 remaining in the game.

Bell leads all Aggies with 2,347 career receiving yards.

A&T 37, Delaware State 0Sept. 26, 2019 BB&T Stadium

Greensboro, N.C.

EAST GREENSBORO - North Carolina A&T football is a run-first team, according to head coach Sam Washington. After all, with the running backs this program has been able to produce, is that a surprise.

But on Thursday night and throughout the season, the Aggies are showing the rest of the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) there are multiple ways they can beat you.

N.C. A&T got another stellar game from junior running back Jah-Maine Martin and the Aggies defense delivered its second shutout in its last six games played in a 37-0 win over Delaware State Thursday night at BB&T Stadium. The win marks the seventh straight season the Aggies have won their MEAC opener.

After rushing for 299 yards and two touchdowns two weeks ago, Martin finished with 108 yards rushing and four touch-downs on 14 carries. His four-touchdown performance is the second-highest single-game total in school history tying Mau-rice Hicks’ four-touchdown outing against S.C. State in 2000.

The Aggies first two touchdowns were due to the Aggies second-level blocking. Martin went off-tackle for a 24-yard touchdown run in the first quarter for a 7-0 Aggies lead. On his second touchdown, he busted up the middle for a 28-yard touchdown and a 14-0 N.C. A&T advantage.Not only was the Aggies (3-1, 1-0 MEAC) running game effective, but they threw the ball well against the Hornets (1-3, 0-2 MEAC). Graduate quarterback Kylil Carter had another game without an interception as he completed 16 of his 27 pass attempts for 167 yards and a touchdown.
