Florida A&M football is looking to get back in the win column.
The Rattlers will have the perfect opportunity to make that happen on Saturday when they host the winless Mississippi Valley State Delta Devils on Ken Riley Field at Bragg Memorial Stadium for a Week 12 Southwestern Athletic Conference game.
FAMU versus MVSU kicks off at 1 p.m. HBCU Go will stream the game, and the Rattlers Plus mobile application will host its audio broadcast.
The Rattlers (5-4, 3-2 in SWAC) are fresh off a 31-12 loss at Prairie View A&M last Saturday, which likely eliminated them any playoff contention in the SWAC and Football Championship Subdivision.
Delta Devils (0-10, 0-6 in SWAC) lost at SWAC leaders Jackson State 51-14 last Saturday.
Both FAMU and MVSU want to put those disappointing performances behind them.
Let’s meet the teams and predict the winners of the Rattlers versus Delta Devils.
