TALLAHASSEE, Florida -- This Saturday, the Florida A&M Rattlers officially strike up a new season.
A new turf, some new helmets and a new head coach all headline FAMU's season opener against Fort Valley State in what could be called one of the most anticipated season openers in recent Rattler history.
Hometown kid Willie Simmons will take the field with the Rattlers for the first time as head coach, and fans are eager to see Simmons' new-look offense.
The game is nearly sold out and with all of the renovations, both in the program and the cosmetics surrounding it.
For the new head coach, he says it puts some pressure on, but he's just ready to get the ball kicked off and see what his team can do.
"This is the first one of six and we want to make sure we start it off on the right foot, so I wouldn't say that there's a nervousness," Simmons said. "There's naturally some anxiety from players and coaches and I'm sure from fans as well to actually see how good this football team can be."
