The North Carolina A&T–South Carolina State football rivalry is an American college football rivalry game played annually by the Aggies of North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University and the Bulldogs of South Carolina State University. The series dates back to 1924 and is driven by the proximity of the two schools, as both are within The Carolinas; and conference alignments.
Both schools are members of the NCAA Division I Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) and are the largest public Historically Black colleges representing their respective states. In addition to each team's respective home fields in Greensboro, North Carolina and Orangeburg, South Carolina, the annual match up between the two Southeastern state schools has been held in cities such as Charlotte and Atlanta, as various classics. A pivotal moment in this rivalry was when South Carolina State spoiled the North Carolina A&T's 2003 undefeated conference record when they handed the Aggies their only MEAC loss of the season with a 49–9 win in the regular season closer. Currently, South Carolina State leads the series 32 to 18.
The North Carolina A&T and South Carolina State have been continuously competing against each other since 1958. In the most recent contest, North Carolina A&T defeated the Bulldogs by a score of 9–6 on November 7, 2015 in Oliver C. Dawson Stadium. The two schools have played 52 times since their first meeting, with South Carolina State leading the series with a record of 32 wins 18 losses and 2 ties.
