The Rattler football extended its home game winning streak to 15, Saturday night, with a 30-16 victory over conference foe Southern University.  
 
With the win, the Rattlers improved to 7-2 on the season (5-1 SWAC) and keep their hopes for an FCS playoff bid alive.
 
"Our work is not done. We still have a lot of football left to play. We will celebrate this one as always and get right back to work tomorrow to continue our push towards the playoffs," said head coach Willie Simmons. 
 
The Jaguars were able to get on the scoreboard first with a 23-yard field goal. Shortly after, FAMU quarterback Jeremy Moussa connected with Xavier Smith on a 9-yard touchdown to put the Rattlers up 7-3.
 
The Rattlers and Jags would go toe-to-toe for the first 30 minutes of the contest, with the Rattlers taking an 8-, 17-9, lead into the half.
 
For the Rattlers to keep their playoff hopes alive, they must win their remaining two games on the road against Alabama State this Saturday in Montgomery, against Bethune Cookman in Orlando on November 19.
