South Carolina State will test FAMU's defense

TALLAHASSEE, Florida -- It's a small sample size against a statistically weak offense, but Florida A&M's defense showed flashes of dominance in its first game under interim head coach Corey Fuller.

Eight different players recorded tackles behind the line of scrimmage against Norfolk State. The defense also kept both of the Spartans' quarterbacks under duress and picked up six sacks.

Fuller said the defense was playing with more "personality" against the Spartans. He added that to him, the unit picked up more "big hits" on Saturday than it did over the last two seasons.

"You'll see the defense having a lot of fun and playing with a whole lot of energy," Fuller said.

"I played football like that. If you go anywhere and ask any of the coaches I've played for – I played with great passion. We've got to carry that on to this week right here. Coming off a tough loss, it's harder to get up.
