FAMU suffered its worst loss to an HBCU opponent Sunday afternoon losing to SWAC East foe Jackson State 59-3.
The Tigers were in control of this game from the very start, led by quarterback Shedeur Sanders' near perfect game. Sanders completed his first 17 passes of the game, throwing three touchdowns in the process. He finished the first half 18-20 through the air for 170 yards and three touchdowns, finding nine different receivers.
Before it was all over Sanders had gone 29-for-33 passing for 323 yards, and 5 touch downs on the afternoon.
FAMU couldn't get much going offensively regardless of who was under center. Starting quarterback Jeremy Moussa was pulled for Rasean McKay in the second half, but the duo turned the ball over one and three times, respectively, and combined to complete less than 40 percent of their passes. The run game did little to help the quarterbacks out gaining only 34 yards for 1.21 yards per carry. The rushing attack has yet to find its footing after averaging 2.07 yards per carry a week ago.
Defensively, the Rattlers have now allowed 5 passing touchdowns in consecutive weeks to open the season and have gotten limited pressure on the quarterback with just two sacks.
