NORFOLK, Va. - The Spartan football team (1-7) plays its final non-conference game of the season at an old MEAC rival this week, traveling to Greensboro, North Carolina, to face North Carolina A&T (5-3). Kickoff is at 12 p.m. Saturday at Truist Stadium.

OPENING KICKOFF
• NSU dropped its second straight game, falling to 1-2 in the MEAC, after a 49-21 loss to Howard last Saturday at Dick Price Stadium.
• Jordin Lennon rushed for 114 yards and a touchdown, while Otto Kuhns both rushed for and threw for a touchdown for NSU. Howard gained 460 yards to NSU's 229.
• Ademola Faleye caught his first TD of the season, a 14-yard pass from Kuhns in the fourth quarter.
• Since starting the season 0-3, the Aggies won their fifth straight game last weekend, a 45-38 victory over Campbell, behind 256 rushing yards from FCS National Player of the Week Bhayshul Tuten.
• A&T trailed 28-10 after the first quarter, but outscored the Camels 35-10 in the second half to remain unbeaten in Big South play.
• The Aggies are in their second, and final, year in the Big South. NCA&T will compete in the CAA next season.
 
SERIES HISTORY
• North Carolina A&T leads the series with NSU, 32-9, with two Spartan wins vacated (2010, '11).
• The Aggies have won the last five meetings on the gridiron between the two teams.
• The teams last met in 2019 at Dick Price Stadium, a 58-19 Aggies' victory. It was the last meeting between the teams as MEAC members, as N.C. A&T is now a member of the Big South for football.
 
LENNON HITS THE CENTURY MARK
• True freshman Jordin Lennon not only started his first career game last week against Howard, but notched his first career 100-yard rushing game in the process.
• Lennon ran for 114 yards on just seven carries. That included a 67-yard TD run in the third quarter, his team-leading third rushing score of the year.
• The 100-yard game was also NSU's first this season by a running back. J.J. Davis had 115 at Delaware State last November.
• Lennon now has a team-high 254 rushing yards this season.
