Florida A&M has a 24-6 lead in its all-time series against Howard, which is coming off back-to-back losses to start the 2008 season. Bison coach Carey Bailey wants his players to forget all that by kickoff, as well as anything else that might have gone wrong. "You live in the past and you have no future," Bailey said earlier this week during MEAC coaches conference call. "The thing about football is you don't have a lot of time to celebrate or mourn. You have to go get your mind on the next game."
The next game is FAMU today at Green Stadium in Washington, D.C., where Howard used a spread offense to baffle Hampton before falling 38-27 last weekend. The loss kept Howard winless on a day that quarterback Floyd Haigler put himself in the program's record book by passing for 456 yards. The offense that Haigler is directing could make the afternoon interesting for the FAMU defense because of similarities to what the Rattlers saw in their first game against Alabama State. FAMU could not get more than a seven-point lead, mostly because of the short underneath passes that often caught the defense off-guard. That and Haigler's speed has been a concern for FAMU head coach Joe Taylor this week.
