Overview

  • Kickoff is set for 2 p.m. CT on HBCU GO at Bragg Memorial Stadium in Tallahassee.
  • Alabama State enters on a two-game surge led by Andrew Body’s passing and playmaking.
  • The Hornets pair their offensive upswing with a defense that has tightened and leads the SWAC in takeaways (4) and turnover margin (+2).
  • Florida A&M has rotated R.J. Johnson III and Jett Petty at quarterback, with the offense improving after Petty’s insertion in a narrow win over Division II Albany State.
  • Head coach Eddie Robinson Jr. said Alabama State is ready for either quarterback as it tries to end FAMU’s 4-0 run in the series since 2021, and analysts suggest a win could strengthen the Hornets’ championship case.
