#42 Florida A&M 3 wins 9 losses in 2014 3wins 5 losses in the MEAC |
Perserverance was the key word for the Rattlers in 2014. This team lost a Head coach with 4 games left in the season, not to say things on the field were going all that well. That being said this season new head coach Alex Wood will be at the helm and depending on some good talent to put the poison back in the Rattlers bite!
The main man in 2014 was Senior Damien Fleming who threw the ball for over 2100 yard passing and 17 TDs .
Damien Fleming 12 126.6 186-314-13 59.2 2159 17 56 179.9
As far as the "Air Attack" in 2014 ! That was all #7 Bandon Norwood !
Blount lead the Rattler defense with 72 total tackles in 2014 and I think he can get even more in 2015!

Fleming posses a good arm and instinct as well as quickness and the ability to tuck the ball and run finishing second in rushing for the Orange and Green in 2014. But Who will replace the athletic ability of Fleming at the QB spot in 2015?
The number may be 12 as in Carson Royal the 6'2" 214lb Junior from Louisville looks to be next man up. After beating out Kenny Coleman and Davonte Austin.
The ground attack , may be in good hands with the return of freshman now sophomore Gerald Hearns! But after rushing for over 500 yards in 2014 he may need help from junior Tysean Holloway in 2015 ( QB Fleming rushed for 555 gross yards ).

The head of the snake when opponents get bitten this season may be the defense and the tip of the venomous tongue may be in the form of Pittsburgh. Pa native Akil Blount!

The hissing sound opponents may hear in 2015 will not be the air coming out of tires in the parking lot or the football. The oppostion must stay alert at all times as that hiss plus rattling sound may be the only warning they get before a "Blount Strike".
