Florida A&M Survives JSU Comeback Bid in Orange Blossom Classic, Wins 28-10

One year ago, almost to the day, Jackson State decimated Florida A&M in the “Orange Blossom Classic” down in Miami. The Tigers could do no wrong that day and the 59-3 score said as much. On Sunday afternoon in the very same game, however, the Rattlers flipped the script and handed it JSU. Big play after big play buried the Tigers early and FAMU never looked back. It was a win that Willie Simmons and his team needed because it was starting to seem like Jackson State was out of reach.

Not anymore.

Florida A&M made it clear right from the jump that this one was going to be different.
