Florida A&M football looks to send the seniors out with a win in the season finale

On November 30, 2024By Littum

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WCTV) – No matter how a season goes, rivalry games are the ones you want to win. While this season hasn’t gone the way Florida A&M hoped, they beat Bethune-Cookman on Saturday, their fourth straight win in the Florida Classic, and that’s something no one can take away from this team.

FAMU is far from done as the Rattlers host Alabama A&M in their season finale Friday at Bragg, a game that may not mean much for championships, but to end this year on a high note and send these seniors off with a win? It means everything.

Head coach James Colzie III said that’s the number one priority, but getting a win also sets the tone for what’s to come for the Rattlers next season.

“It’s something to build on as we get ready for the offseason,” he said. “There’s a lot of positives for this football team. You get a chance to finish with seven wins, you put yourself in a higher realm in terms of how you finish the season in the conference. There’s a lot of different things. We can go into recruiting. To have the seven wins speaks to the program on a different level compared to some of the other teams in the conference.”

Kick-off is set for 4:00 on Friday.
