TALLAHASSEE, Fla. | Rattler football is finally back in Bragg Memorial Stadium tomorrow evening as Florida A&M hosts Fort Valley State at 6 PM.

"It's very exciting to be back in Bragg Memorial Stadium," said head coach Willie Simmons. "Rattler Nation is still excited about this football team.

"I'm excited to see the true Rattler fans, the ones that really believe in this program and love FAMU. Come out and support these young men. They need the confines of their own home, they need to hear our fans get behind those guys, they need to hear the Marching 100 playing, they need to see push-ups in the endzone from ROTC. All the things that make FAMU football at Bragg special."

Freshman Quarterback

Head coach Willie Simmons named true freshman Junior Muratovic the starting quarterback after Muratovic finished the game versus Jackson State. Muratovic went 5-12 for 47 yards while adding 13 yards on the ground.

"We feel that Junior gives us something in the form of a little bit of savvy and a little bit of fundamental passing."

Defensive Dominance

The Florida A&M defense looks to follow up their defensive performance versus Jackson State with another dominating performance. The defense allowed only 292 yards and held the Tigers to seven points while forcing two turnovers and recording two sacks.

"I thought we played very well defensively. It was one of our best defensive performances since we've been here.

"I thought they were physical. Our biggest deal was stopping the run, and we did that."

Running Strong

The Rattlers look to continue to make plays on the ground as Bishop Bonnett and Terrell Jennings combined for 111 yards on 22 carries averaging 5 yards per carry.
