FAMU football seeks fifth home game

Derek Horne
FAMU Athletics Director



Tallahassee, Florida -- FAMU football coach Joe Taylor just might get his wish for five home games if athletic director Derek Horne could get final contractual agreements to complete a proposed 2012 schedule that would include two important non-conference games.

Horne said Sunday he is in agreement with a five-game home schedule. He also confirmed that talks are underway to revive FAMU's rivalry game against Tennessee State University and possibly play another regional FCS team.

In addition to creating opportunities for potential corporate supporters to advertise inside Bragg Stadium, Horne said having more non-conference FCS teams on FAMU's schedule will help its case for postseason consideration. He's looking at programs that would be competitive as well.
