North Carolina A&T didn’t just win on Saturday — it finally exhaled. Under a cool, clear sky at Truist Stadium, the Aggies gathered in the sweetest look in football: the Victory Formation.

It marked A&T’s second-ever CAA victory since joining the league and lifted the program to 2–2 in conference play (2–6 overall) under head coach Shawn Gibbs in his first season — progress measured not just in wins, but in resilience.
