Homecoming week brings intensity for FAMU

TALLAHASSEE, Florida -- So far, Florida A&M head coach Alex Wood has rewarded fans who’ve come to see the Rattlers for homecoming.

Wood, now in his third season at the helm, won his first two homecoming games as coach of the Rattlers. The 2015 homecoming win was expected – the MEAC has far more formidable opponents than Delaware State – but the 2016 victory was an upset.



Last season, the Rattlers dropped Hampton in front of a season-high crowd of 26,044, beating a team that went on to finish tied for third in the conference.

Once again, Wood’s Rattlers are underdogs in their own homecoming. FCS No. 15 North Carolina A&T is this year’s opponent, and the Rattlers haven’t beaten the Aggies since 2011.
