Florida A&M Dominates Alabama State in SWAC East Showdown: Key Takeaways

Florida A&M continued their quest for another trip to the SWAC championship game with a dominant 28-13 victory over Alabama State. The Rattlers’ defense stepped up, forcing three turnovers and scoring a defensive touchdown to seal the win. Interceptions by Deco Wilson and T.J. Huggins, along with a fumble recovery turned touchdown by Nay’Ron Jenkins, highlighted the defensive effort.

On the offensive side, quarterback Daniel Richardson connected with Ace Cobb for a 35-yard touchdown right after Wilson’s interception, giving FAMU the lead for good. Additionally, wide receiver Goldie Lawrence scored the team’s first rushing touchdown of the season, adding some insurance to the lead.

Despite facing some challenges early in the game, Florida A&M proved they are still the team to beat in the SWAC East. With a 3-2 overall record and a 1-0 start in division play, the Rattlers are showing resilience and determination to come out on top.

On the other hand, Alabama State’s quarterback situation remains a concern. With injuries to key players, the Hornets struggled to generate offense and may face more difficulties moving forward. Unless they can find a solution at the quarterback position, their chances of success in the SWAC East are looking slim.

Overall, Florida A&M’s strong performance against Alabama State solidifies their position as a top contender in the conference. With four more SWAC East games to go, the Rattlers are on track for another successful season.
