The FAMU Rattler football team snapped former MEAC foe SC State's eight game Bragg Stadium winning streak Saturday night with a 30-7 win over the Bulldogs, before 14,892 fans.
The win improves the Rattlers record to 3-2 overall, while the Bulldogs fell to 1-4 overall.
“Like I told the team it’s probably the first time in a long time that I’ve been disappointed in a win. It’s a good home win. But (i'm) unsatisfied with how we played particularly in the second half," says FAMU head football coach Willie Simmons. "I thought in the first half we came out locked in and focused. Second half, we kind of just went berserk in a lot of areas.”
"All in all, it's a win and pushes us over .500 for the year. We still have a chance to accomplish our goals," Simmons added.
FAMU will hit the road this week for a matchup against SWAC foe Alabama A&M on Saturday.
