BUIES CREEK, NC – North Carolina A&T had a stronger showing on Saturday after a disappointing defeat last weekend , but the Aggies still couldn’t get over the hump against the Campbell Fighting Camels in a 21-7 loss at Barker-Lane Stadium on Saturday.
The Aggies threw the ball 41 times on Saturday but could not muster the offense needed to overcome the 14-point advantage the Camels established in the first quarter as the Aggies dropped to 1-7 overall and 0-4 in the CAA. Sincere Brown had 150 yards receiving and two touchdowns on five receptions to help the Camels improve to 3-5 overall and 1-3 in league play.
Head Coach Vincent Brown challenged the team to be resilient after losing five straight, and he saw that from the defensive unit especially, which tallied three sacks, forced a crucial turnover on downs, and generally played hard-nosed football aside from two blown defensive assignments in the secondary that resulted in 50-plus yard touchdown receptions. Henry Daniel had a superb game defensively with nine tackles, three for loss, and two sacks. He also forced a fumble.
