MEAC games: 2
Thursday's Game:
Florida A&M @ Hampton
7:30pm Hampton, VA (ESPNU)
Two potential MEAC contenders square off on ESPNU. Both coming off of Week 1, come from behind victories. Early bragging rights and a chance to show who could be a challenger for the MEAC title with the winner of SC State/BCU game on Saturday.
Saturday's Game:
Central St (D2-Great Lakes) vs NC Central
12:00pm Cleveland, OH
Cleveland Classic at Cleveland Browns Stadium. The Eagles are looking to rebound from the absolute shellacking they recieved from FBS Rutgers, 48-0. Coach Henry Frazier will have his team prepared.
Norfolk St @ West Virginia (FBS-Big East)
1:00pm Morgantown, WV
The Spartans head into the mountains to face West Virginia in another MEAC FBS/FCS clash.
Morehouse (D2-SIAC) vs Howard
3:30pm Washington, DC
National Football Classic at RFK Stadium. Howard looks to show this THIS is finally the year that they leave the MEAC cellar.
NC A&T @ App State (FCS-SoCon)
3:30pm Boone, NC
Good news for A&T, Coach Broadway got his first of what is expected to be many wins in his tenure. The bad news? They are traveling to the western part of the state...up to the ROCK...where App State is waiting...and they will be out for blood after being embarrassed by FBS Virginia Tech last week.
**MEAC GAME OF THE WEEK**
SC State @ Bethune-Cookman
4:00pm Daytona Beach, FL (ESPN3.com)
An early season collision between two of last season's co-MEAC champions. SC State is coming off a hard-fought loss to FBS Central Michigan, while Bethune-Cookman completely whooped on Prairie View in the MEAC/SWAC Challenge. Obviously, the winner of this game will be favorites for the MEAC title and AQ.
Shaw (D2-CIAA) @ Delaware St
6:00pm Dover, DE
Coming of a victory in Coach Blount's first game as DSU head coach (First coach to win his debut since 1997), and a game against traditional FCS powerhouse Delaware the following week. The Hornets return to Dover in what some would consider to be a "tune up" prior to the UD game. However this IS the MEAC we are talking about. And the line between top-tier CIAA and SIAC teams and the MEAC is becoming more and more blurred every year.
Morgan St @ Bowling Green (FBS-Mid American)
7:00pm Bowling Green, OH (ESPN3.com)
Follow the absolute debacle and trouncing delivered by cross-town Towson Tigers, the Bears will try to lick their wounds before heading to FBS Bowling Green of the MAC.
Savannah St @ SE Louisiana (FCS-Southland)
8:00pm Hammond, LA
What has the chance of being a LONG season for the SSU Tigers continues with a trip to "The Lions Den" of SELU.
Predictions and comments welcome.
