Florida A&M Head Coach Alex Wood "Excited" For Opener Against South Florida

TALLAHASSEE, Florida  -- Three and a half weeks of a rigorous fall camp are over for Florida A&M, and now the fun part starts, as the Rattlers prep for the showdown Saturday with the University of South Florida.

Saturday also marks a new era for the Rattler program, as Alex Wood begins his first season as head coach. On Monday, Wood announced that Carson Royal will start at quarterback, and also said that after a scrimmage like approach to practice on Saturday, other starters were announced.  


One similarity he has noticed is that the Bulls and FAMU boast Florida heavy rosters, and he expects a similar style of play come Saturday. He added as much as he is excited to see where his team stands, he's more excited to just play some football.

"I've been in football since 1962. I was excited that day, and I'm excited today," said Wood on Tuesday during his weekly press conference.
