FAMU football vs Alabama A&M: Can the Rattlers end challenging season with a victory?

Football season is coming to an end for Florida A&M.

The Rattlers (6-5, 4-3 in SWAC) will host their season finale against the visiting Alabama A&M Bulldogs (6-5, 4-3 in SWAC) this Friday at 4 p.m. on Ken Riley Field at Bragg Memorial Stadium. Friday is also Senior Day for the Ratters, as the program honors around 20 graduating players.

Fans who can’t attend the Southwestern Athletic Conference game can watch on ESPN Plus or listen to the Rattlers Plus mobile application’s audio broadcast.

FAMU is fresh off winning its fourth-straight Florida Classic rivalry game, beating Bethune-Cookman in a 41-38 thriller last Saturday. Alabama A&M beat Mississippi Valley State 49-35 on the same day for its third straight win.

The Rattlers and Bulldogs game was initially scheduled for Sept. 28 but was rescheduled due to Hurricane Helene.

Let’s meet the teams and predict the winner of Friday’s makeup game.
