All the Best Moments From the Most Watched HBCU Homecoming Football Game So Far

It’s officially October which means pumpkin spice, fall leaves, and most importantly: HBCU Homecoming season! Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) always put on a show for homecoming, but this year’s football season is already tuning up to be one for the history books.

Alabama State University (ASU) kicked off homecoming with a week’s worth of celebrations and events, but we’d be lying if we said the highly anticipated face-off between ASU and Florida A&M University (FAMU) wasn’t the real reason we were tuning in.

In the sixth week of the HBCU football season, FAMU blew ASU out the water on their own home field (28-13), according to HBCU Sports. And with over 30,000 people present, it’s safe to say the energy was electric and the vibe was simply unmatched. There’s nothing like a HBCU football game. Let’s take a look at exactly how it all played out...

ASU going against FAMU was an interesting matchup considering the Florida Rattlers were the reigning SWAC champions. “It’s homecoming for them, and normally, you put a team on your homecoming that you think you can beat,” said FAMU head coach James Colzie III said with a smile.

The FAMU Rattlers are clearly the team to beat. Last year, they went up against ASU, and to no one’s surprise, FAMU completely mopped the floor (23 to 10).

No matter who wins, football is all about good sportsmanship and homecoming is all about community!

If it’s one thing to know about the Rattlers is that they’ll show up to support their boys despite the travel time, weather, or any other inconvenience. Even a hurricane couldn’t throw supporters off their course to ASU’s home field.

Currently, the NCAA ranks the ASU Hornets no. 10 heading into week seven of the SWAC power rankings.

Over 30,000 fans flooded the ASU stands this year, setting a record!

These college sweethearts met on ASU’s campus. Now they’re back on their old stomping grounds, supporting the Hornets!

By the fourth quarter, the Hornets were in big trouble. FAMU score another touchdown, widening the gap (21-10).

The NCAA currently puts the FAMU Rattlers no. 1 heading into week seven of the SWAC power rankings.

FAMU sure wasted no time celebrating their victory this time around. Players were spotted on ASU’s field showing off their best dance moves.
