North Carolina A&T kicks off its 2024 football season this Thursday against Wake Forest University, marking the first meeting between the two teams in 20 years. A&T, which suffered a disappointing 1-10 record last year, is under the leadership of second-year head coach Vincent Brown, who has revamped the offensive strategy with new coordinator David Marsh. The Aggies struggled offensively in 2023, ranking last in passing yards, but aim to improve with quarterback competition among transfers and returning players. Meanwhile, Wake Forest seeks redemption after a 4-8 season, focusing on improving its own game rather than solely preparing for A&T. Both teams face significant challenges, with A&T needing to overcome its poor past performance and Wake Forest aiming to solidify its offense amidst uncertainty at quarterback. The game will be aired on ACC Network Extra, with fans able to attend at Allegacy Federal Credit Union Stadium.
