Florida Blue Florida Classic 2013: FAMU seniors hoping to upset Bethune-Cookman in final game

TALLAHASSEE, Florida -- Like most of his senior teammates, FAMU safety John Ojo has big plans to make Saturday’s Florida Classic his showcase.

Ojo just won’t get as much time on the field as the other 12 seniors because of a targeting penalty. Not only did the team get a 15-yard penalty last weekend against Delaware State, but Ojo has to sit out the first half against the Wildcats.

“It’s disappointing because I’ve came a long way,” said Ojo, a sixth-year senior out of Florida High. “This is my last game and I only get a half to play, so I’m going to try not to think about it and whenever I get to play just come out banging.”

After he got past the frustration of his situation, he turned his attention to the significance of the game for the seniors. They get one last chance to go out with a victory in their last season after they fell shorts on seniors’ day at Bragg Stadium last weekend in a 29-21 loss to Delaware State.
