TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Alabama A&M is seeking its third road win of the season as the Bulldogs visit Florida A&M today in a Southwestern Athletic Conference game. Kickoff against the Rattlers is scheduled for 3 p.m. from Bragg Memorial Stadium.
Alabama A&M (6-5 overall, 4-3 SWAC) is entering the game riding a three-game winning streak, including a pair of road victories and has an opportunity to claim three road victories since the 2018 season. In addition, the Bulldogs are looking to end the season with a winning record for the first time since 2021.
“Win today, win tomorrow. You don’t win the games on Saturday, you win them during the week,” said Head Coach Connell Maynor. “Our guys are focused on getting better every day. We’re in a good place, having won three in a row. The guys are playing well, offense, defense and special teams, so we need to keep it going for one more week.”
Florida A&M (6-5, 4-3) had extremely high expectations coming into the season after winning the SWAC title and the HBCU Black College Football National Championship last year. However, under first-year coach James Colzie III, the Rattlers have seemed to struggle, going 1-4 away from Bragg Memorial Stadium.
The game will be streamed on ESPN+ with James Hadnot (play-by-play) and Ken Moore (analyst) on the call. Fans can also tune into WJAB 90.9 FM for Ted Dixie on play-by-play and analysis from Brian Howard.
The Rattlers saw their 23-game home winning streak, which dated back to the 2019 season, snapped by Mississippi Valley State on Nov. 16.
“It’s going to be a tough football game,” Maynor said. “We’re 6-5, 4-3 in league play and they are the same, so both of us are trying to get to 7-5. It’s going to be a battle. They’re at home and it is Senior Day.
“They just lost for the first time in four years at home, so they don’t want to lose back-to-back home games. We’ve got to play one of our best games to get out of there with a W.”
