Alison Posey | A few thoughts from FAMU Coach Simmons about Saturday's SWAC game with Alabama State Hornets

Talking to A&M head football coach Willie Simmons this morning before they return to SWAC play this weekend.

Simmons said the bye week came at the perfect time. He said they really got down to basics this week, worked on fundamentals. pic.twitter.com/8GTW2jcoxq

— Alison Posey (@AlisonPosey14) September 27, 2021

Simmons said Alabama State is the closest SWAC school to Florida A&M. He said this game is a reason why they joined the SWAC to have the atmosphere they'll have Saturday. He said ASU will bring their band and a lot of fans.

— Alison Posey (@AlisonPosey14) September 27, 2021

Simmons said Alabama State likes to create pressure, get in your face. He said the Rattlers QBs don't have a lot of experience, so he expects them to try and exploit that.

"I think we match up well on paper. They won't be intimidated by the atmosphere they'll see in Bragg."
