FAMU looks to extend its home game winning streak to 12 this evening when the Rattlers take on the Bulldogs of Alabama A&M University. The Rattlers currently have the third longest home game winning streak in the nation behind Montana State (14) and North Dakota State (12).
Last year, the Rattlers notched a come-from-behind 35-31 victory over the Bulldogs in Normal, AL. FAMU outscored the Bulldogs 19-3 in the fourth quarter.
"We definitely have to take it one game at a time and understand what's required of us this weekend to play our best ball up to this day," said Head Coach Willie Simmons.
"We're basically in a playoff mindset to where every game counts and a loss may knock us out of playoff contention."
The Rattlers are fresh off a bye week following a 23-13 victory over Albany State in their home opener on Sept. 10. The winless Bulldogs fell to Austin Peay 28-3 last Saturday.
Game time is at 6 pm in Bragg Stadium.
