FERGUSON MAKES SECOND-TEAM ALL-MEAC
Ferguson has 1,000-yard season

GREENSBORO, November 30, 2007 – Michael Ferguson put together the fourth best rushing season in N.C. A&T football history in 2007. For his efforts, Ferguson was named second-team All-MEAC following the season.

Ferguson became just the fifth different back in Aggie history to record a 1,000-yard season. It was the sixth time a runner had exceeded 1,000 yards. Ferguson rushed for 1,169 yards and four touchdowns in 2007.

“I wish I had 20 more like him,’’ said N.C. A&T head coach Lee Fobbs. “I’ve said since I got here, he has all the tools of a great running back. The young man has came through for us all year long. He’s just an iron man as far as I’m concerned. He’s put us in position to score all year long. I’m glad he is on our side.”

Ferguson has 1,906 career yards, which puts him 906 yards away from becoming the Aggies all-time leading rusher. Ferguson compiled six 100-yard rushing games on the season, including a 181-yard performance against Prairie View A&M. He had six runs on the season of 35 yards or more.

Great accomplishment!

I just wish he had that break away speed like OJ or Barry!

If we would have won 4 games he would be 1st Team. But good job young man, keep battling. It will pay off next year big time. He already has the rumble rumble, so hit the track and do some speed drills all winter/spring and he will be the next Mo Hicks.

Yeah. He needs to get one of those parachute deals tied to his waist and do some wind sprints.

In my street football days, we used to strap leg weights around our ankles and do 20 down-and-backs from light pole to light pole.

LOL, I would assume you have bad knees now. Ankle weights were the biggest strategy of the 80s.

Great job L'il Mike, pulling for you to break Mo's record. He runs hard the way his dad use to.

I don't know about "Iron Mike" but I was told that Chancellor and "Speedy" were planning on participating in track this spring. Wherther they compete or not, they all need to work with " Space" on increasing their speed.

[bluehaze]

Glad to hear that. How is Chancellor doing with his rehab?

Great, the track teams needs depth...
