FAMU Football: Simmons ready to put voters on notice against SC State

FAMU's next two games are on the road. FAMU is 8-6 in away games during Simmons' tenure. The Rattlers took care of business in their three consecutive home wins. Their 34-7 victory against Mississippi Valley on Saturday moved their home winning streak to 13. FAMu will not play at Bragg until its homecoming game against Arkansas Pine-Bluff on October 29.

FAMU lost to Jackson State in the first game of the season. FAMU is chasing the Tigers in SWAC play. South Carolina State is a decorated program led by Buddy Pough. The game is important for FAMu's quest for postseason play and for their chances of an at-large spot in FCS playoffs.

Simmons is a college football coach. He believes player safety should always be the number one concern. Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa suffered a concussion against the Cincinnati Bengals. De'Andre Francis is cleared to play against South Carolina State. The NFL Players Association launched an investigation and dismissed the neurotrauma consultant that evaluated Tagvailo's concussion. Former Rickards standout running back De’Andre Francis is back in action after being injured in practice.
