Taylor extends challenge to Rattlers offense, defense

As challenges go at the start of each season from football coaches, the one that Joe Taylor laid down for Florida A&M might seem a bit ambitious. But the Rattlers aren't backing down from what their coach is calling his 40-30 club.

What Taylor wants are improvements in some key statistical areas that he believes will put FAMU in position to finish this season with a winning record.

His expectation from the defense is 40 turnovers and 30 sacks for the season. He would like his offense to keep the ball for 40 minutes and get 30 first downs per game. The challenge of a 40-yard punt average and a 30-yard return average on kickoffs per game is also included.
