LeRoy Vann scored on two punt returns for the second straight week and Florida A&M beat Howard 48-10 on Thursday night. For the second straight week the Rattlers played in front of a nationally televised audience on ESPNU.Vann, who scored on returns of 40 and 66 yards, ran back two punts for touchdowns against Winston-Salem State last week. The senior has returned seven punts for touchdowns during his career, tying a Football Championship Subdivision record set by Northern Iowa's Kenny Shedd between 1989-1992.
The Rattlers (3-0, 2-0 Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference) built a 34-10 halftime lead, highlighted by Curtis Pulley's touchdown throws to Kevin Elliott of 46 and 35 yards. Pulley finished with 182 yards passing.
The Bison (0-2, 0-1 MEAC) scored their only touchdown when Casey Council scooped up a blocked punt and scored from 30 yards away with 7:22 left in the second quarter.

Go Rattlers! Great game.
ReplyDeleteVann is the greated Return Specialist in the country on any level. I expect the NFL to invite him to the combine and look at him as a DB & Return Specialist.
ReplyDeleteGreat job Rattlers.
BEAT TSU!!!
Great game rattlers, but does anyone know why the entire band of 450 plus didn't march last night?
ReplyDeleteword on the street is that all the drum majors were suspended for this game.
ReplyDeleteNot sure what happened, but on TV it looked like they pulled random dudes from the stands to conduct the band. Maybe RN can provide some info.
Way to go Rattlers. Since we can't stay on football FYI Most Drum majors are sophomores these days. Probably don't direct much anyway. That's the trend in college and definitely in high school. Join the band to be a (mascot) drum major, you don't have to know much anymore. Thanks "Drumline".
ReplyDelete9:19, please do not speak for the band since it is clear by your statement that you are not a part of the 100. That is all!
ReplyDeleteF the "orange elephants!" Clean up them lines.
ReplyDeleteThis is a football story! Hail LeRoy Vann! Goooo Rattlers!
11:01 You'd better ask before speaking. Maybe we shouldn't all be anonymous... That comment had MORE to do with what trends are feeding into the HUNDRED. And 11:10, you go take a seat, hater. This is about FOOTBALL!
ReplyDeleteThe 2009 edition of the Marching 100 has six seniors, three juniors and ONE...1.... ONE sophomore drummajor.
ReplyDeleteAlso, the 100 has never been 450 members... the band this year is about 340-350 members.
11:02, This is about the FOOTBALL team.
