Questions heading into FAMU fall football camp

TALLAHASSEE, Florida -- 1. What will FAMU’s offense look like?

Damien Fleming was the engine that moved Florida A&M’s offense, ranked eighth in the MEAC last season. He accounted for every touchdown for the Rattlers on offense and when he couldn’t move the ball – either with his arm or his legs – FAMU went nowhere.

“When Coach Wood got here we developed a great relationship,” Royal said.
