FAMU head coach Wood ready to move on after Miami loss

TALLAHASSEE, Florida -- Florida A&M head coach Alex Wood is confident things will get better for the Rattlers.

FAMU’s football season officially kicked off over the weekend – and the Rattlers were dropped 70-3 by the Miami Hurricanes.

It was a tough start for the Rattlers, who are trying to improve after a 1-10 2015 season. Wood said after the first game, the team noticed areas that need to be improved before the Rattlers next stop on a three-game road trip to open the season.

“We learned some things about ourselves from that game, obviously,” he said Tuesday during his weekly new conference. “That is what we are focusing on as we go forward to Coastal Carolina.”

FAMU takes on Coastal Carolina Saturday in Conway, S.C. at 7 p.m. The Chanticleers defeated FAMU 48-3 in 2014 – and they did so on the Rattlers home turf.
