The topic is an understatement if you are an Aggie Fan like myself....At the end of the season, Renick and Todd may call for Small's head. If you read what Wyatt said in the article, A&T used the same defense since 2003. Three years in a row 
and good coaches make adjustments. Great coaches will beat your azz two out of three times.
Cold Reality: Bethune-Cookman 54, N.C. A&T 17
Season gets away from Aggies

GREENSBORO -- The folks from ESPNU will come back to Aggie Stadium again. But nobody in Blue and Gold is counting the days.
The pending countdown is to the end of N.C. A&T's second straight losing season.
Bethune-Cookman pulled away from a tie game late in the first half and went on to a 54-17 victory before 9,737 cold fans and the television audience. The Wildcats, who retained a slight chance at the MEAC title, busted it open when they declined to run out the final 24 seconds of the first half and instead embarked on a shocking three-play, 80-yard touchdown drive without benefit of a time out.
"I thought we had had a really positive first half, and then the touchdown before the half deflated our momentum a little," Aggies tight end Brian Johnson said. "But I still thought the second half would be a free-for-all shootout."
It wasn't. In all, the Wildcats (3-2 MEAC, 6-2) ran off 212 yards and 20 straight points in a little more than six minutes spanning halftime as a 17-17 game became a comfortable Bethune-Cookman win.
By two statistical measurements -- points allowed and margin of defeat -- it was A&T's worst performance at home since a 56-7 loss to Delaware State on Sept. 22, 1984. The Aggies (2-4 MEAC, 3-6), who dropped a 31-14 decision on ESPNU to visiting Hampton in September, secured another unwanted distinction: They will suffer consecutive losing campaigns for the first time since 1988 and '89.
