A&T the Spartans have a much more fan-friendly schedule this year. This week’s game marks the fi rst time since LB - Malik Harris, Delaware State 2013 that the Spartans have opened the season at home, after playing road games at Rutgers last year and DB* - William Burton, Delaware State at Maine in 2014. DB* - Zerius Lockhart, N.C. A&T DB - Craig Johnson, Howard Although the Spartans’ next two games are on the road, they are a short bus ride away at in-state FCS DB* - Davanta Reynolds, N.C. Central foes Richmond (Sept. 10) and William & Mary (Sept. 17). NSU then plays back-to-back home games against DB* - Sandy Chapman, Norfolk State N.C. Central (Sept. 24) and Howard (Oct. 1) to open MEAC play, meaning the Spartans do not leave the state P* - Jerome Pettiway, S.C. State for a game until the season’s sixth game, Oct. 6 at North Carolina A&T. P* - Colby Blanton, Florida A&M The N.C. A&T game is the only road contest of the month for NSU, which in turns means the November RS - LaVontis Smith, N.C. Central schedule is a little more travel heavy, with road games at Savannah State (Nov. 5) and South Carolina State 3rd Team - NSU Players Only: RB Gerard Johnson, (Nov. 12) preceding the season fi nale at Hampton (Nov. 19). The game with Hampton is the Spartans’ eighth DL Walter Brantley, RS Marcus Taylor of the year that will be played within the state. Game #1: Elizabeth City State at Norfolk State Page 4 Stats, Etc.
