In a challenging road game at Panther Stadium, the FAMU Rattlers suffered a 31-12 defeat at the hands of the Prairie View A&M Panthers. The game took a significant turn early on when Florida A&M's starting quarterback, Daniel Richardson, exited the game in the first quarter due to an injury. Richardson had completed 8 of 13 passes for 58 yards before his departure.

Back up QB Junior Muratovic stepped up to the challenge. He finished the game with a respectable 16 completions on 29 attempts for 150 yards, throwing one touchdown but also two interceptions. Despite Muratovic's efforts, the Rattlers struggled to find their rhythm against a determined Prairie View A&M defense.

The Panthers' victory was significantly aided by their ability to win the turnover battle. They forced three turnovers from the Rattlers while only giving up the ball once themselves. Prairie View A&M capitalized on these opportunities, converting those takeaways into seven points, which proved crucial in clinching their victory.

The loss was a tough one for FAMU, as they battled hard but ultimately fell short against a strong Prairie View A&M team. The Panthers' defense and their ability to secure key turnovers were the deciding factors in this contest. Barring a miracle, the loss likely ended FAMU's chances of competing in the SWAC Championship game this year, as well as post-season play. This defeat was particularly noteworthy as it was FAMU's first football loss to a SWAC opponent not named Jackson State since joining the conference.
