(STATS) -- North Carolina A&T proved it was worthy of beginning a season as a nationally ranked team for the first time in 12 years with a blowout victory in its 2016 opener, but it came against a Division II opponent.Next up for the Aggies is a visit to FBS school Kent State on Saturday night, one of four games for Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference squads in Week 2 where a STATS FCS Top 25 team will be on the field.North Carolina A&T rolled to a 62-0 win over St. Augustines last weekend and climbed two spots in the rankings Monday to No. 23. Lamar Raynard went 17 of 21 for 170 yards and two touchdowns while adding a 1-yard scoring run, and two-time MEAC offensive player of the year and All-American Tarik Cohen rushed for two TDs and 44 yards on just eight carries.Cohen broke Stoney Polites school record for career touchdowns.I feel like I got enough touches, said Cohen, who has 40 rushing TDs and two receiving scores in 35 career games. I had two touchdowns. I know the team wants to have me for the rest of the season, so we dont want any stupid injuries getting in the way of that.Kent State of the Mid-American Conference opened its season with a 33-13 loss at Big Ten member Penn State, but the Golden Flashes trailed by just three at halftime. Aggies coach Rod Broadway knows facing an FBS team after a Division II opponent wont be easy.The thing that sticks out is the speed at which these guys play, Broadway said. Im sure we were fast last week playing against St. Augustines and now when I look at Kent State, Kent States fast. Ill say it again, theres a distinct difference between us and Division I. Were not at that level yet. ... With that said, were going to go up there and compete and were going to try to win the ballgame.In other matchups for MEAC teams Saturday, Norfolk State visits No. 2 Richmond (CAA Football), Hampton hosts 13th-ranked William & Mary (CAA Football) and Florida A&M heads out to take on No. 17 Coastal Carolina, an FCS independent thats transitioning to the Sun Belt Conference in the FBS.Norfolk State opened with a 20-12 win over Division II Elizabeth City State, Hampton was routed 54-21 on the road by Conference USA member Old Dominion and Florida A&M lost 70-3 at Miami of the Atlantic Coast Conference.The Spartans will face a Richmond team that stunned ACC member Virginia 37-20 in its opener, the Pirates get a visit from William & Mary after the Tribe fell 48-14 at North Carolina State (ACC) and the Rattlers meet a Coastal Carolina team that beat Southland Conference opponent Lamar 38-14.North Carolina A&T and Norfolk State were the only MEAC teams to open with wins. The other eight squads that played were completely overmatched, getting outscored by a combined score of 424-81.The Aggies have dropped all three meetings with FBS teams by an average of 39.7 points, while Kent State is riding a 13-game winning streak over FCS opponents.If North Carolina A&T played in the FCS playoffs it would be interesting to see how far they could go, Golden Flashes coach Paul Haynes said. I think they are just as talented as some of the top teams like North Dakota State and Eastern Washington.

Little is going right for Sonny Gray this season.Wins have been absent for over two months, there was a disabled-list stint, pitches have gone wild, and hitters are having few problems with Grays offerings.The Oakland right-hander will look to correct some if not all of those problems Wednesday afternoon when the Athletics conclude their three-game series with the Minnesota Twins at Target Field.Gray (3-7, 5.42 ERA) entered this season as the team ace, and it was hard to argue based on his 33-20 record and 2.88 ERA in his first three seasons with Oakland.He has hardly been ace-like in 2016, going 3-7 with a 5.42 ERA while leading the majors with 13 wild pitches. He began the year with a 3-1 record and a 2.73 ERA, but starting with a two-inning outing April 27 in Detroit, it has been a massive struggle.Gray is 0-6 with a 6.63 ERA in 11 starts since April 21 and 0-2 with a 4.42 ERA in six outings since returning from the disabled list June 5. He was out 15 days due to a strained right trapezius. During his losing streak, Gray has allowed a .297 opponents batting average.The losing streak is the longest of Grays career and equals the longest by an Oakland pitcher in the last four seasons. His streak of 11 straight winless starts is the third longest by an As starter this century.This hasnt been his best year, Oakland manager Bob Melvin said. Hell figure it out and get better as the year goes along. Theres always going to be a year that is not as good as other years.Last Friday, Gray allowed seven runs and seven hits over six innings during a 7-3 loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates. Five of those runs occurred during the fifth and sixth, and three were allowed with two outs in the sixth.That was obviously not a very good start, Gray said. There were times, like in the sixth, where I got two quick outs. I have to be able to shut that inning down and get back out there for the seventh and not hit a guy and walk another. It just escalated from there.Gray was on the DL when Oakland swept Minnesota from May 30-June 1. Although he is 2-1 in three career starts against the Twins, he hass a 6.dddddddddddd19 ERA in those outings.Oakland hopes Gray can correct his struggles but also help the pitching staff rebound from an 11-4 loss that ended at 1 a.m. CDT on Wednesday due to a nearly three-hour rain delay. The Athletics allowed nine runs with two outs Tuesday night, and they have a 6.63 ERA over their past eight games.Minnesota will be looking to win a third straight home series and to earn its seventh win in 10 home games since June 18. The Twins have scored 60 runs during their past six home wins, and all three of their double-digit scoring games have come in the past two-plus weeks.Miguel Sano, Kennys Vargas and Max Kepler homered Tuesday.A lot of guys had good nights, Minnesota manager Paul Molitor said.The Twins Wednesday starter, Ervin Santana, will hope to benefit from similar run support while also continuing his recent run of improved performances.Santana (2-7, 4.50 ERA) is 1-0 with a 2.41 ERA in his past three starts, including Friday, when he allowed two runs and three hits in 6 1/3 innings during a no-decision against the Texas Rangers. Before this stretch, he was 0-5 with a 7.71 ERA in five starts from May 24-June 14.Santana has extensive experience facing Oakland from his eight seasons (2005-2012) with the Los Angeles Angels. He is 15-7 with a 2.10 ERA in 28 career starts against the Athletics.Since leaving the Angels, Santana is 1-2 with a 2.51 ERA in four starts against the As. He took the loss May 30 in Oakland when he allowed three runs and seven hits in seven innings.Santana has allowed a .304 average (38-for-125) with runners on base. During his last three outings, opposing hitters are 5-for-24 (.208) against the right-hander with men on, including 1-for-8 by Texas when Molitor let him throw a season-high 117 pitches.I dont even think about that, Santana said of the pitch count. Molitor gave me the opportunity to stay in the game and gave me more enthusiasm to pitch. I was fighting. I was excited for that. ' ' '
