Week 10: SC State vs. NC A&T

The bulldogs and aggies preparing for a play

The Rivalry between The Bulldogs of SC State and the Aggies of North Carolina A&T had always been fiery! Especially during football season, because both teams were most likely leaders in the MEAC conference when the face off took place. Well this year was no different, although SC State is behind after their upsetting loss to the Hampton Pirates last weekend, they were looking to make a change during this weeks face off! 

 

The heart and soul of A&T RB Tarik Cohen

It's safe to say that this game was FULL OF EMOTIONS! No matter who you were supporting, you were up, you were down, you were happy, you were sad, you screamed, you cheered, you had moments of disappointment, and you were most definitely taunted during this matchup! So many fans walked away horse from yelling and screaming during the game. Of course both fans weren't happy with the results, but both fans could agree that it was a great game this year, and both teams give their all when they hit the field.

The Bulldogs and the Aggies faced off, starting early with an Aggie touchdown by their most prominent and historical player in A&T history, RB Tarik Cohen (and let's just say the Bulldog defense kept him under wraps for the rest of the game because following that TD, he got NADA). Following that was a successful PAT and a field goal to put the lead at 10-0 over the Bulldogs. But before halftime the Aggies scored again and Adrian Kollock ran in the ball for 17 yards (it was another PAT failed by T. Scandrett) and it was Demontrez Burroughs who had yet another prominent catch in this matchup. The Bulldog offense was down bad and couldn't really make much happen but the connection between QB York and Burroughs was almost magical as everyone held their breath as he caught a 41 yard pass that looked as though it was impossible to catch. 

 

After halftime, the Bulldogs remained consistent and scored another TD which was a 1 yard run by York. However that wasn't enough to hold up against the Aggie offense who answered with a 9 yard TD pass to the very Elijah Bell at receiver. With 2 minutes left and what would be the final drive of the game for the SC State offense, York threw an interception which led to a 29 yard return and sealed the Aggie win 30-20 over the Bulldogs. Unfortunately.
