There seems to be so much that FAMU has to contend with heading into Thursday night's televised game with Delaware State. The Rattlers are going on the road on just four days rest. They'll be taking on a team that they haven't beaten in their last three meetings. On top of that, the game is at Alumni Stadium, home of the defending MEAC champion Hornets.
And, coach Joe Taylor is telling his players not to make the odds become a distraction. "As a coach you always tell the players that as long as the field is 53 1/3 yards wide and 100 yards long it doesn't matter," Taylor said at Tuesday's meeting with the media. His players seem to be taking heed as they seemingly relish the opportunity to meet the Hornets in Dover.
