FAMU Rattlers to play in 'Beanie Bowl' for the final scrimmage

TALLAHASSEE, Florida -- With the season opener one week away, Florida A&M is buckling down on the details of its strategies in preparation for the team's anticipated Sept. 1 debut.

On Saturday, the Rattlers will hit up Bragg Memorial Stadium at 3 p.m. for their final scrimmage of fall camp dubbed the Beanie Bowl.

The coaching staff is using this as a dress rehearsal with full pregame routines. During the match, the scout team will wear black beanies on their helmets and simulate plays run by FAMU's opening day opponent - Fort Valley State.


"This is a mock scrimmage. The varsity team will be on one sideline and scout team on the other sideline," said FAMU head coach Willie Simmons.

"We'll put the guys through a series of situations throughout the entire day. It's not the offense versus defense scrimmage we've been doing. We'll go through situations so that come next Saturday, we're clicking on all cylinders."
