I like this series, it's going to be an interesting matchup, plus we recruit that part of NC.

agree - this is what we were looking for.. I want an easy FCS (CSU ?) and a better FCS and an FBS for money. NC A&T is TOUGH - they are really good right now

This is a great choice of opponent. They have a successful program and a large following, and have been in the playoff talk a lot more than us in recent years. If they don't go to the Celebration Bowl, they are a likely 1st or 2nd round opponent in the post-season. It will be a challenge, but not one that we should be afraid of. Potential recruiting gains are a plus. Kudos to the desk-job Paladins who set this up.

This is awesome, and just what we were looking for. And for once a series starts at Paladin Stadium!

I like it, but we’ll have our work cut out against them. They are tough.
Recently read that their president caused some excitement by mentioning that he wants to “think about moving up to FBS”.

They beat East Carolina last year. Word gets around in a hurry.

This completes our OOC schedule for 2021:
NC A&T
Colgate
at NC State
When is the last time we have opened with 2 home games? That will give us 6 home games in 2021.
We now have the complete OOC schedule for 2021 but the only known game for next year is Tennessee.

This is a good series for us!

But why does the article say North Carolina A&T State? Its just North Carolina A&T correct?

More home games than away games is like a Christmas miracle. Feel like that hasn't happened in forever. Really tough non-conference slate, but if you can hold serve at home, it will be an impressive resume for the FCS playoff committee.
