A&T pbving wel bokHM expecMions Continued from page 1C State on Sept. 10, Small said, “We were very fortunate ... to pull out this victory We still didn’t play soimd enough football I felt like, but we can ' Bulls find hope Continued from page 1C who is 0-4 in his second stint at Smith. ‘We’ve got to grow up, we’ve got to practice a little bit better, practice like we want to win.” Smith, which is 0-8 at Belk Complex, drove to Union’s 9 with less than a minute to go, but Niles Rainey ended picking off fi^hman quarterback Carlton Richardson’s pass in the comer of the end zone to end the threat. Intended receiver Marquis Belton ran an inside route, but Richardson read outside. “Marquis was in the right place because his read is that if the comer drops back, his read is to sit down,” Richardson said. “I don’t blame him. He’s a veteran, I’m a rookie. I should have followed his lead.” Smith’s defense kept the BuUs in the hunt, but Union took advantage of big play opportunities. The Panthers struck first on a 70-yard connection between quarterback John Grier and wideout Herb Jones (seven catches, 164 yards). Then there was Hampton’s return. “Our defense is good, but they’re not great,” McNeill said. We had a breakdown on the pimt return at the end. Every play is a big play in this game and you can’t relax. We relaxed on one play and that beat us.” still correct Ihose mistakes and that’s something we’re going to have to do and con centrate on,” But mistakes, dropped passes, three quarterback fumbles and missed tackles doomed the Aggies against nationally-rankked Hampton. We have to become more fundamentally sound in what we do,” Small said. ‘We have some young guys in some positions and we have some .older guys in some positions. I don’t feel like we’re execut ing where we need to be.” Thou^ the A^es aren’t panicking about their lack luster start, without serious improvement, A&T may be on pa(» for another losing season. Remaining on the schedule for the Aggies include Saturday’s game against Elon at Elon and a nonconfer ence game against 'IWmessee State in the Circle City Classic in Indianapolis. Then there’s the league schedule, where Howard is the only other school besides Elon left on the schedule that the Aggies beat last year. ■ #K Tuesday Kids Eat Free Mfediiesdait Reggae Night Thursday .400 Wings Simdax .350 Wings *Ask about our free Hirthdax meal!
