N.C. A&T (2-1)

Who: Coastal Carolina (1-2) When: 7 p.m. today

Where: Brooks Stadium, Conway, S.C. Radio: WNAA-90.1

Watch for: A&T takes its first real road trip. The Aggies opened their season at Winston-Salem State, but that was a short, same-day ride on I-40 to play in front of a crowd that included a lot of their own fans. Now the Aggies head to Conway with an offense that has struggled in the red zone. Coach Alonzo Lee switched quarterbacks in the fourth quarter of last week's loss to Hampton, pulling senior Carlton Fears and replacing him with freshman Lewis Kindle. The QB job was open this week in practice. Coastal Carolina has played two QBs as well: Zach MacDowell and Jamie Childers have played in all 3 games.

Key matchup

Coastal's sputtering offense faces a stiff challenge against the Aggies' 16th-ranked defense. First-year A&T coach Alonzo Lee has put his defensive stamp on the Aggies, who get after the quarterback and are solid against the run and pass. Coastal is ranked 55th in total offense, averaging 328 yards per game, but the Chants are 95th in scoring at 13.67 points per game.

Coaching/Intangibles

Coastal faces a team for a second straight week that it beat in 2008 that has since hired a new head coach. Lee has brought a new attitude and a new sense of enthusiasm to A&T. This group of Aggies is not the same team that Coastal dominated at the line of scrimmage a season ago. Expect them to play a lot harder than they in 2008, too.

Pick

Coastal 21, A&T 14

Listen, Coastal is all over the place. They have little consistency.

A&T needs to find a offense.
