Week 4: SC State vs. FAMU

The rattlers of Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University are known to Strike and Strike and Strike again! Being that this would be the first MEAC match up of the season for our team, the bulldogs of SC State were sure to be eager to play in a league of their own. After a standing record of 0-3 against D1 programs, in larger divisions, i'm sure they were more than ready to face off with another D1-AA school.

On the road yet again for week 4, the bulldogs boarded their buses and headed down to the sunshine state to show the rattlers how to play MEAC football.

Shortly after kickoff, the bulldogs immediately made a statement that they were serious about redeeming their current season reputation. After about a 40 yard drive Caleb York hit Ahmaad Harris for a 3-yard pass for a touchdown. Harris immediately letting it be known to the FAMU defense that what happened at Clemson was only a fluke. Shortly after, FAMU answered with a 19 yard reception for a TD of their own. IT seemed as if this game would be a back and forth deal all night long..

However, bulldog fans were quickly assured otherwise. Bishop Ford, Quan Caldwell, and Deangelo Frazier all had receptions that led to touchdowns for the bulldogs and all PAT's were completed by Tyler Scandrett. You could clearly see the unity and strength amongst the players out there on the field, and weaknesses were exposed as well. Defense stepped up to the plate to hold those Rattlers off for the majority of the game as we;;. Deshawn Taylor even had an interception that led to a touchdown to cap the score for the SC State Bulldogs. The game ended in a whopping 48-14 win over those "striking" rattlers of FAMU, so im guessing they ran out of venom and scurried away shortly after.
