Was kind of a boring evening (we don’t bother with Monday Night NFL). So we went thru the college games we had recorded (we have a bunch) and discovered an “oldie but goodie” from October 13 that we hadn’t viewed . It featured unranked Florida A&M (the “Rattlers” Love that!) playing at #10 (then) North Carolina A&T. For a team that is still ranked (#18), we were underwhelmed by the talent (or lack thereof) on the field for the Aggies. And A&M (still unranked) did not look much better.
Be that as it may, this turned out to be a very entertaining football game. Helped by a return for a TD on the opening kickoff, NC A&T put together a 21-6 lead at halftime. But A&M made halftime adjustments and completely shut down the Aggies in the second half. Meanwhile, the Rattler offense chipped away at the lead and kicked a FG with 7 seconds left in the game to win it 22-21. Mediocre (equally-matched?) play on the field, but still a pretty exciting game.
As for the thread title: Depends on your point of view, doesn’t it?
OBTW: I've mentioned before that tuning in on some other FCS games is a good idea ... reinforced by this little story. First, you can see some prety good games ... and you get a better idea of the talent level for more teams outside the Big Sky.
