TALLAHASSEE, Florida - The sting of opening the season with a loss at Tennessee State had barely dissipated Monday when FAMU football players found themselves talking about Oklahoma.
They weren’t discussing how the Sooners struggled early against Texas-El Paso before getting a win on the road, either. They were making comments about how they’re not accepting the underdog role although the matchup Saturday at Owens Field overwhelmingly favors Oklahoma.
“At the end of the day, they put their (uniforms) the same way that we do,” said lineman Robert Hartley. “The only thing that they have is depth (but) we are as strong at every position. It’s one against one and it can’t get better than that.”
Hartley isn’t predicting that an upset is certain or anything like that, but he brought up their performance in 2009 against Miami as a reminder of the effort that they could give. Ironically, the Hurricanes were coming off a one-point win over the Sooners when they faced FAMU the following week.
