NC A&T football looks to build off positives in first meeting with Rhode Island by Bryant RocheVincent Brown maintains that things are going to improve for North Carolina A&T, and he uses the final statistics from the 42-32 homecoming loss to Towson to back up his claim. “I think for the first time all season, we really stayed on schedule throughout the game,” Brown said on Monday. “This was the first game of the season in which we led the opponent in first downs (29-20), in time of possession (32:16-27:44) and in total yards (501-442). And so a lot of that had to do with the effort of our players buying into the plan. Some of it had to do with what we were doing schematically, finding ways to get our players the ball in space to create explosive-play runs and passes and it is only going to get better.” In the loss to Towson, A&T (1-8, 0-6) fell behind 14-0 by the end of the first quarter, but three times drew within one score as three different Aggie quarterbacks saw time. Kevin White has started in the last six games and was 6 of 12 passing for 66 yards before limping off the field and never returning after he apparently lost his footing. Eli Brickhandler, the starter for A&T’s first two games, relieved White and, despite throwing an interception to end the first half, produced his best performance in five games, completing 16 of 19 passes for a season-high 161 yards and his first touchdown pass.

Rhody, North Carolina A&T Slated for Senior Day MatchupNorth Carolina A&T (1-8, 0-6 CAA Football) at Rhode Island (5-4, 3-3 CAA Football) Kickoff: Saturday, Nov. 11, 1 p.m. EST | SENIOR DAYLive Stats | Audio: Varsity Network | Video: FloFootball | Game Notes RHODE ISLAND VS. NORTH CAROLINA A&T - SERIES NOTES
Saturday's game will be the first meeting between Rhode Island and North Carolina A&T. The Aggies joined CAA Football ahead of the 2023 season, alongside Campbell. While the team has a new conference affiliation and a new leader, head coach Vincent Brown is no stranger to the CAA. Brown served as the coordinator for William & Mary's nationally-ranked defense in 2022 as the Tribe captured a share of the CAA Football title and reached the quarterfinals of the FCS Playoffs. North Carolina A&T has an impressive football history that includes 11 MEAC Championships, five appearances in the FCS Playoffs and four Celebration Bowl Titles from 2015-19. The 724-mile trip to Kingston will be the longest of the year for the Aggies, whose second-longest trek was 482 miles to the University of Alabama at Birmingham. North Carolina A&T does not have any New England natives on its roster. Fullback Michael Benn and linebacker Bryce Enlow are closest, hailing from Brooklyn, N.Y. and Princeton, N.J., respectively. RAMS WELL-RESTED FOLLOWING BYE WEEKRhode Island will have enjoyed an extra week of recovery heading into the game against the Aggies, having had its bye the weekend of Nov. 4. Prior to the break, the Rams pulled off a 34-28 upset over No. 20 New Hampshire in overtime at Meade Stadium (Oct. 28). Running back Ja'Den McKenzie became just the fifth player in program history to record four touchdowns in a single game when he did so opposite the Wildcats. He dove over the top of the scrum at the line of scrimmage and flipped into the end zone to secure the victory in the extra period. Rhody will play in its final two games of the regular season coming out of the reprieve, first playing host to North Carolina A&T (Nov. 11) before the finale at Towson (Nov. 18).

Amonte Jones has seemingly separated himself as our best pass catcher?
