The unbeaten North Carolina A&T Aggies rode a 21-point second period surge to a 31-20 win over the Florida A&M Rattlers at Homecoming in Bragg Memorial Stadium here Saturday afternoon.

A near-sellout crowd of 25,067 fans packed the venerable stadium for the 130th Homecoming at FAMU, and early on, it looked like the Rattlers (2-5, 1-3 MEAC) would more than compete against the Aggies (7-0,, 4-0 MEAC), as the two clubs played to a 7-7 draw after the first period.

Devin Bowers led the Rattler running game with 100 yards on 12 carries and two TDs, while Ryan Stanley had a tough day under center, passing for 167 yards on 14 of 24 passing, with one score and two interceptions. Kareem Smith (48 yards, one score) and Chad Hunter (29 yards) tied for the club lead in receptions with three each.

Linebacker Jakaris Wilson led the Rattler defense with nine tackles, while Terry Jefferson and Jules Dornevil each had an interception.

A&T's Marquell Cartwright led the Aggies with 84 yards on 26 carries, while Lamar Raynard tossed three touchdowns, accounting for 215 air yards on 20 of 32 passing. Elijah Bell finished the day with six catches for 53 yards.
