FAMU football couldn't pull out the victory against Tennessee State in Week 3. Here's what went wrong for the Rattlers.

On Saturday, Florida A&M University's football team faced Tennessee State University in a crucial game.

Parker played well for the Rattlers, completing 14 of 25 passes for 267 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception.

The Tigers came out on top 29-26, with Daylin Lee completing a crucial 20-yard pass to Brenton Paul late in the game. FAMU dominated in total yardage, outgaining TSU 449-390.
