TALLAHASSEE, Florida -- After back-to-back blowout losses on the road, the Florida A&M caps a season-opening road trip with a test against a conference foe.FAMU and South Carolina State square off at 7:30 p.m. Thursday night in the MEAC’s Game of the Week.
The Rattlers haven’t played a home game yet and won’t until next week. Thursday’s game is S.C. State’s second straight game in Orangeburg, while the Rattlers have played nothing but away games.
“It’s tough to play on the road and have short weeks and all those good things,” FAMU coach Alex Wood said. “We’d rather play at home, to make a long story short. We’d rather play at home.”
Senior linebacker Kashawn Butler said traveling so much has brought the team closer together.
“We actually find out who’s with us when our backs are against the wall,” Butler said.
