FAMU Rattlers come up short, fall 27-24 to NCCU

TALLAHASSEE, Florida -- It was redshirt junior quarterback Carson Royal’s best game of the season, but it wasn’t enough to get Florida A&M its first win.

The Rattlers stalled on offense in the fourth quarter, and the Eagles did just enough to escape Tallahassee with a 27-24 win in front of a crowd of 9,246 in Bragg Memorial Stadium.

Royal completed 29 of his 47 passes for a season-high 331 yards and two touchdowns, playing one of his best games as a Rattler.

“(Offensive coordinator Marty) Spieler did a great job with the play calls,” Royal said.

“He allowed the offense to get set. That really helped out a lot. I can’t give enough credit to the O-line for the protection they had. Really, I just felt really comfortable in the pocket and I was able to move the ball well.”
