GREENSBORO – The twenty-fourth-ranked North Carolina A&T football team has accomplished a few things as the midway portion of the season rolls through.

Last week the Aggies passed a crucial test by beating MEAC power Bethune-Cookman. N.C. A&T is nationally ranked and on Saturday with thousands upon thousands of fans in and around Aggie Stadium, N.C. A&T, the No. 1 team in black college football, routed longtime rival Howard, 65-14 to win the school’s fifth straight homecoming.

The win secures N.C. A&T’s fourth straight winning season. The Aggies (6-1, 4-0 MEAC) have now won five straight and have not lost to a Division I-FCS program all season. N.C. A&T has also won nine straight over conference opponents at home dating back to 2013. Junior running back Tarik Cohen finished with 137 yards and three touchdowns on 17 carries. It was his fourth career three-touchdown game.

But Broadway has been around long enough to know that meeting expectations simply means more will be added.

“When I first got here (the Aggie faithful) told me to just win homecoming,” said Broadway as he laughed and joked. “After we started winning homecoming, they said let’s beat (N.C. Central). Then you beat Central and they say let’s win the conference. Then when you win the conference, they say let’s go to a bowl game. I signed up to win homecoming and beat Central. They keep changing the rules on me as we go.”

Broadway followed up his jovial statement by saying the Aggies football program expects to be good. Despite his team’s six wins, he still believes his team far away from reaching its potential as a football team.

“My problem is I like for everything to be perfect,” said Broadway. ”Some of the mistakes out there are just unacceptable. We have to continue to grow. But to be 6-1, I’m proud of our players. I’m proud of our coaches. I’m proud of everybody – our administration!”

The Aggies did find themselves trailing 14-13 to Howard (0-7, 0-5 MEAC) after Howard quarterback Kalen Johnson scrambled to his left and fired a dart on the run to the end zone where Tomlin Antoine dove on top of it for a 15-yard touchdown reception with 10:34 remaining in the first half. But the Aggies answered with an 11-play, 86-yard drive that culminated with a masterful 31-yard Cohen touchdown run in which Cohen made a couple moves at the line of scrimmage to break free before making a stutter step to avoid another defender in the open field and final juke move to sprint into the end zone.

It was a downward spiral from there for the Bison. After a three-and-out from the Bison, the Aggies scored in four plays as senior quarterback Kwashaun Quick connected on an 8-yard touchdown pass to junior Denzel Keyes on a crossing pattern. Junior Cody Jones added a field goal before halftime to give the Aggies a 30-14 advantage.

Howard did stop the Aggies on their opening drive of the second half, but Howard ended its first second-half drive with a fumble on a punt attempt which gave the Aggies the ball at Howard’s 21-yard line. After a 14-yard loss by Cohen, redshirt freshman quarterback Lamar Raynard completed a 15-yard pass to Cohen and a 19-yard reception to Keyes to set up a 1-yard run by Cohen to all but put the Bison away.

N.C. A&T compiled 311 yards rushing as compared to Howard’s 31. Quick added 85 yards rushing and a touchdown on 11 carries. Redshirt freshman Amos Williams added 84 yards and a touchdown on 13 carries. The Aggies return to action Saturday, Oct. 31 when they travel to Tallahassee, Fla., to face Florida A&M in a 3 p.m. contest.
