After losing in a way barely worth mentioning to West Virginia, it’s fair to say Wednesday night appears to be a golden chance to get Todd Golden’s first season back on track.
No, Florida A&M coming to the O’Connell Center is not the sort of showdown that would provide an opportunity to cancel out or offset a 29-point loss to the Mountaineers. But the Rattlers also aren’t Texas Southern — which beat Florida, and soundly, in a similar game a year ago — nor the kind of HBCU-representing squad that tours the nation during non-conference play to fill its athletic department’s coffers with the proceeds from so-called “buy games” while still having a chance to win them.
