The Florida A&M Rattlers (3-2, 2-0 MEAC) reeled off 40 points in the first half for the first time since 1999 and cruised to a 55-14 win over the NCCU Eagles (1-3, 0-1 MEAC). This marks the first time since 2009 the Rattlers have ended September with a winning record.

Wide receiver Chad Hunter had a career game, hauling in three touchdowns to lead the Rattlers in scoring. Hunter finished with 135 yards on seven catches to lead all receivers.

Florida A&M (3-2, 2-0 MEAC) amassed 509 yards of total offense and held NCCU (1-3, 0-1 MEAC) to 280 total yards. Besides passing for 254 yards and four touchdowns (all courtesy of quarterback Ryan Stanley), and rushing for 255 yards and two scores, the Rattlers also blocked a punt and scooped up the loose ball for a touchdown.

Running back Deshawn Smith was the workhorse in the backfield carrying 20 times for 152 yards. Bishop Bonnet had a solid game as well, reeling of a 68-yard run and was also responsible for blocking the punt on special teams.

Derrick Mayweather led the Rattler defense with four solo tackles and one unassisted. Demontre Moore and Elijah Richardson each had two tackles and two assists. FAMU punter Chris Faddoul had a monstrous game, booting four times for a 51.8 yard average.
