NORMAN, Oklahoma — There wasn’t a single head hanging as FAMU’s football team trotted back to its locker room after losing by eight touchdowns to the No. 5 team in the country Saturday night.
“This game gave us plenty of confidence,” quarterback Damien Fleming said, following the Rattlers’ 69-13 loss to Oklahoma. “I was able to complete passes without the key guy (Lenworth Lennon) in the game, and I feel with those guys coming back we’re gong to step our game up. If we can complete passes against those guys, we can do it against anybody.”
Lennon and three other players who were suspended by coach Joe Taylor for a violation of team rules will return this week. The Rattlers will need every hand on board if they want to get through the first month of the season without another loss.
The remaining games this month begin Saturday against Hampton in the home opener at Bragg Stadium. That will be followed by a trip to Delaware State, and they’ll round out the month in Atlanta against Southern.
