FAMU football heads to Alabama State as Isaias threatens region
FAMU football’s visit to Alabama State’s homecoming game has a new date and time after Tropical Storm Isaias is set to impact Montgomery. The details:
Florida A&M will take on Alabama State in a SWAC football game this Saturday, but the date has been moved up due to Tropical Storm Isaias threatening the region. The game was scheduled for Friday, October 9 at 12:05 p.m. at ASU Stadium in Montgomery, Alabama. Alabama State adjusted their homecoming game to this date out of concern for public safety.
The storm has formed in the Gulf of Mexico and is moving east with sustained winds up to 40 mph. It may strengthen into a hurricane, though it is expected to weaken to a tropical storm before reaching land. The storm could also impact the Big Bend area, which is where Montgomery is located. Governor Ron DeSantis declared a state of emergency in 25 Florida counties, including Leon, where the university is located.
The Rattlers, led by head coach Quinn Fordham Gray Sr., are currently 1-4 in the season with a 0-1 record in the SWAC. Their next opponent is Alabama State, who had a recent loss to Bethune-Cookman on September 26. The Rattlers will leave Tallahassee on Thursday for the game. The matchup will be broadcast on SWAC TV.
