TALLAHASSEE, Florida -- Florida A&M’s football team is looking to rebound after one of the worst seasons in program history. The Rattlers went 1-10 last season. It was the first time FAMU’s football program ever finished a season with 10 losses and first time since 1943 the Rattlers finished the year with just one win.
The Rattlers report for fall camp today, and the team’s first outdoor activities will be on Thursday at 9:30 a.m. There are plenty of questions surrounding the Rattlers this season, but a influx of JUCO talent and some solid recruits can help turn things around at Bragg Memorial Stadium.
FAMU opens the season at Miami on Sept. 3. The Rattlers play four home games this year and two neutral-site games. For the first time since 1996, the Rattlers will play Tuskegee in the new 5th Quarter Classic at Ladd-Peebles Stadium in Mobile, Ala.
