It is that time of year again. But for just the 10th time in program history, the North Carolina Tar Heels will kick off their season in August.
Carolina is hosting one of the top historically black colleges and universities (HBCU) football programs from the 2021 season in an opener that will celebrate and pay tribute to the history of the HBCU.
Last season, Florida A&M finished the year ranked 25th in the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS). Their single-point opening week loss to Jackson State was the only blemish on their conference schedule.
The Rattlers’ debut in the Southwestern Athletic Conference was a success, as they finished with the second-best record in the league and earned a berth to the FCS Playoffs.
