FAMU Football is in control of Alabama A&M in the SWAC season finale

That’s what matters. Florida A&M Football plays its season finale against Southwestern Athletic Conference opponent Alabama A&M at Ken Riley Field at Bragg Memorial Stadium.

It’s Senior Day for the Rattlers (6-5, 4-3 in SWAC) as they look to send off around 20 seniors with a win over the Bulldogs (6-5, 4-3). FAMU just picked up its fourth straight Florida Classic win, beating Bethune-Cookman 41-38 last Saturday. The Rattlers’ win ended a two-game losing streak.

Alabama A&M is on the rise, winning three straight contests, most recently last Saturday with a 49-35 win at Mississippi Valley State. A win for both teams will provide momentum for the 2025 season.
