DOVER, DE — You might think the FAMU football players would be beating themselves up today. They had rallied to tie defending MEAC champion Delaware State at 28-all and force the game into overtime, only to see the Hornets escape with a 35-28 win. Despite the heart-breaking defeat, head coach Joe Taylor and his players were anything but distraught late Thursday night.
Not all losses are created equal. "It was a gallant effort," Taylor said. "I'm proud of these guys. They gave an outstanding effort. I saw enough tonight to let me know we're going to be OK. Because of tonight we will be better." What Taylor saw was the beginning of a two-quarterback system that he hopes will be the Rattlers' calling card in the weeks to come.
