HUNTSVILLE, Ala. – With one of the most impressive seasons in program history in the books, Alabama A&M football continues to impress, garnering a whopping 23 Top-10 NCAA statistical rankings.
 
Headlining those efforts were three ties for No. 1 positions, including in winning percentage (1.000) and red zone offense (1.000) in the team categories and redshirt-junior kicker Spencer Corey (New Palestine, Ind.) in field goal percentage (1.000 – 4-of-4). In terms of winning percentage, A&M was one of just three teams at the FCS level to go undefeated and one of two to attempt to play a full season.
 
The rest of the team categories saw the Bulldogs come in No. 4 in Passing Yards Per Completion (14.89), No. 5 in Scoring Offense (40.2), No. 6 in Team Passing Efficiency (156.99), No. 6 in Fumbles Lost (1), No. 7 in both Passing Offense (338.8) and 4^th Down Conversion Pct. Defense (.250) as well as No. 8 in Total Offense (457.0) and No. 10 in Blocked Punts (3).
 
A total of 13 of those 23 Top-10 performances would come on the individual side with senior quarterback Aqeel Glass (St. Louis, Mo.) recording seven of them. He would place No. 2 in Points Responsible For Per Game (26.0), No. 3 in Passing Yards Per Completion (14.89), No. 7 in Passing Touchdowns (16), Passing Yards Per Game (338.8) and Total Offense (347.8), No. 8 in Passing Efficiency (158.0) and No. 9 in Completions Per Game (22.75).
 
He would be joined in the top five by one of his primary targets in sophomore wideout Zabrian Moore (Tuscaloosa, Ala.) who was one of the most dangerous deep threats in the country. He would finish No. 2 in both Yards Per Reception (27.92) and Receiving Yards Per Game (121.0) while the defense handled the rest of the Top-10 entries.
 
Those would come in the form of junior defensive end Marcus Cushine (Broward Count, Fla.) who was second in the country in sacks per game at 1.75 and redshirt-senior linebacker Quantravis Kelly (Montgomery, Ala.) who came in fifth in interceptions per game at 0.8.
