Rattlers pile on vs. Howard

WASHINGTON — Even a certain gentleman who lives in a big white house several blocks from here would have struggled to bail out the hometown Howard University Bison.
Like the Bison, he probably would have never had time to react to a Florida A&M football team that simply came on too strong — too early.

Now 17 days removed from a game they lost in overtime, the Rattlers appeared to need little time to overwhelm the Bison on their way to a 51-24 road win.
In less than one minute, the Rattlers turned a 3-0 lead in the first quarter into 17-0 with two long defensive touchdowns. First, FAMU defensive end Joseph Wims picked up a fumbled snap and made a mad 65-yard dash for a touchdown, the first of his career.
