1R - NC A&T @ Richmond

[Mvemjsunpx]

I guess the Aggies didn't bid on a home game, because it's fairly odd a team that averages 8700 in attendance is hosting a team that averages 14,500. Anyway… making this game even stranger than the fact it has a post-auto-bid at-large for the MEAC is that both squads will be without their starting quarterbacks. On the surface, this seems to hurt Richmond more because they were a lot more reliant on their QB. However, the Aggies did just get slaughtered by their archrivals (just like Richmond) without Lamar Raynard. I don't expect the Spiders to score much, but I do expect them to stack the box like crazy to take away Tarik Cohen. The game likely hinges on whether NC A&T can make them pay for doing that. The Spider secondary, however, should be just good enough to prevent that from happening.

At any rate, I don't expect the winner of this game to go any further…

Here's my assessment of the matchups & my pick for the game:

• • • Quarterbacks -- (who the f*ck knows?)
      
      Running Backs - North Carolina A&T
      
      Receivers/TEs - Richmond
      
      Offensive Line - (push)
      
      
      Defensive Line - North Carolina A&T
      
      Linebackers --- North Carolina A&T
      
      Secondary ---- Richmond
      
      
      Kicking ------ Richmond
      
      Punting ------ Richmond
      
      Return Teams - North Carolina A&T
      
      Kickoffs ------ North Carolina A&T
      
      
      
      
      
      • North Carolina A&T 17-20 Richmond

This is where Aggies WR Denzel Keys steps up to the plate and makes Richmond pay with the deep ball he has good size 6-4 210.He is considered a NFL Pro prospect.QB Oluwafemi Bamiro is a senior and he has enough experience he started as a true frosh for the Aggies he has decent size 6-4 211.

Richmond can lose the Affirmative Action game.

Not because NCA&T is any good (they aren't), but because injuries have depleted Richmond so much they are a JV team.

[DSUrocks07]

A&T by 4

What a joke!

Richmond's JV obliterated a clown team from the MEAC.

The NCAA should NEVER invite a second place MEAC team to the playoffs again.

[BDKJMU]

Yeah this pretty much confirmed that NC A&T had no business getting an at large...

The coach at A&T is too conservative that was the reason they lost he did not make any adjustments i.e THROW THE BALL MORE!!!!!!

[Aho Old Guy]

UR has "seed-qualities" and will dispatch ND post haste like bad rubbish ...

[Mvemjsunpx]

UR had "seed-qualities" until Kyle Lauletta tore his ACL.

FIFY

It was nice to see Delaware's next coach get another playoff victory on his resume.

Now let's close out the season this Saturday so we can hold the presser on Tuesday.

Oluwafemi Bamiro is a cool name. I'm naming my next kid Oluwafemi Bamiro. Boy or girl or whatever identity they choose. Oluwafemi Bamiro Iola - just rolls off the tongue. Plan to call hym OBI.
