NORTH CAROLINA A&T AGGIES (2-3, 1-0 Big South): The Aggies return home after missing a week of competition. Offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Chris Barnette, who took head coach Sam Washington's place at Monday's press conference as Washington dealt with a family matter, said the Aggies used the bye week to work some of the Aggies young players into the mix. Those young players could see some action on Saturday as the Aggies step away from conference play to face Division II/SIAC opponent Edward Waters.
A&T comes into the game on a two-game winning streak. Indeed, the running game has contributed to that success. Sophomore back Bhayshul Tuten is looking for his fifth straight 100-yard rushing game, which would tie the school record for consecutive 100-yard games by an Aggie. But as impressive as Tuten and the run blocking from the Aggies have been, the Aggies defense has been magnificent. The unit forced five turnovers last week against Bryant, including four interceptions. A&T's previous two opponents combined have rushed for a total of 46 yards. Plus, the Aggies got healthier on the defensive side of the ball with the return of defensive end Jermaine McDaniel, Jr., and cornerback Amir McNeill.
EDWARD WATERS TIGERS (1-5, 1-4 SIAC): The Tigers have transitioned from being an NAIA school to an NCAA Division II institution. After mainly playing a Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SIAC) schedule in 2021 without the games counting toward the conference standings, the Tigers are in their first full season of competing for a SIAC championship. EWU is coming off a 55-7 home loss to Albany State last week. Albany State held the Tigers to 94 total yards, with EWU's only score coming on a 70-yard interception return by Ahmaud Jordan. The Tigers lost their first four games of the season before beating Morehouse 49-20. EWU has the fourth-best rushing attack in the SIAC, compiling 165.8 yards per game. They have a three-man rushing attack led by Tyler King, who has rushed for 315 yards and four touchdowns on 59 carries. De'Shuan Hugee averages 6.8 yards per carry on 40 attempts with three touchdowns. Spencer Carter averages 7.7 yards per carry, has one touchdown and has carried the ball 28 times. Widmyer Garcon leads the team in tackles with 32 tackles, 5.5 for loss, one sack, one interception and one forced fumble.
