00:00 Let's talk about what's going to happen on Saturday because Florida A&M.
00:05 They are heavy, heavy favorites to be able to win the SWAC
00:09 championship game against the Prairie View Panthers.
00:14 Of course, the first time those guys met, it was 45 to 7 in a win for
00:19 the Rattlers and now Bubba McDowell as well as the preview Panthers.
00:23 They go into Tallahassee once again with the road match so
00:28 to speak to be able to try to win the SWAC title and go to the celebration bowl.
00:33 But a lot of people say, hey, this is Willie Simmons's year and
00:38 those Rattlers are going to do it.
00:40 What's your thoughts?
00:41 >> Kyle, I think that this game comes down to a couple things.
00:45 And one thing that I definitely want to point out and mention is that the weather
00:49 will probably be affecting this game too, it's supposed to rain in Tallahassee.
00:52 So keeping that in mind, I think the team who wins this game is a team that comes
00:57 out fast, the team that comes out the fastest starting out.
01:01 Which team controls the time of possession and which team for
01:05 sure is limiting, which team's defense limits those explosive plays.
01:09 And honestly, currently right now for me, I'm gonna give that edge to FAMU.
01:14 This is a team all season prior to playing Prairie View that they started slow.
01:18 But homecoming, playing against Prairie View, they put it together,
01:22 offense, defense and special teams.
01:24 And so with anything with FAMU, it starts with Jeremy Musa.
01:27 He's gonna have to come out ready to rock and roll,
01:29 find his targets on the perimeter.
01:32 But a lot of that is gonna help him do that,
01:34 because sometimes we've seen him start slowing games where he looks a little
01:38 rattled a little bit, sometimes with opposing defenses.
01:41 But I think a lot of the thing that will help him get adjusted to that is
01:44 the Rattlers running backs.
01:46 And they have, if you're familiar with FAMU- >> Big boys.
01:50 >> Yes, they have big guys, like three different running backs.
01:54 Tarell Jennings, Jacquez, Kent, Kelvin Dean, they're locked and
01:57 loaded and ready to go at any time.
01:59 And so this is a team that getting that running game together for
02:03 him is gonna help Musa to get the offense going early on.
02:07 And then also in terms of the Rattlers defense,
02:11 has been essentially the top defense in this way all season.
02:14 Even with the close games they've had,
02:17 not necessarily playing the most complete games.
02:19 But they have the talent and they've shown that all season.
02:21 And they essentially kept previous quarterback Trazon Conley,
02:24 who's a great quarterback.
02:26 They limited him to 93 yards, one touchdown and three interceptions.
02:30 So another performance similar to that.
02:33 And one thing about Conley, you have to worry about his ability to continue plays
02:37 and continue to extend plays down the field.
02:39 If you limit his mobility and force him to stay in the pocket,
02:42 this is a different preview team.
02:44 And I think that it would bode well for FAMU getting the win.
