Albany, Ga. – The Albany State Golden Rams are set for a high-profile non-conference showdown this weekend, traveling to Bragg Memorial Stadium in Tallahassee, Fla., to face the Florida A&M Rattlers on Saturday, September 13. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:00 p.m.

The Golden Rams enter the contest riding a two-game winning streak, including a dominant 51-7 season-opening victory over Shaw and a 49-21 conference win at Kentucky State. Meanwhile, the Rattlers are still searching for their first victory of 2025, but their tradition, talent, and home-field advantage make them a formidable opponent.

This matchup carries special significance as ASU head coach Quinn Gray Sr., now in his third season at the helm of the Golden Rams, returns to his alma mater. Gray is a Florida A&M Hall of Famer and former standout quarterback who left his mark on the program before embarking on a professional career. His return to Tallahassee adds an emotional layer to a rivalry rich in history.

The Golden Rams trail the all-time series with FAMU 3-12, with their last win coming in 1993 (14-6). Albany State's first victory over the Rattlers dates back to 1972 (21-6), and their most lopsided win came in 1986 with a 34-2 triumph. The most recent meeting between the two programs was in 2022, when Albany State fell 23-13 in a competitive battle.

With Albany State surging and Florida A&M hungry to get in the win column, Saturday's matchup promises to be an electric contest filled with history, pride, and opportunity for both programs.
