The Wildcats and Rattlers have played this rivalry game in Orlando since 1997 and they have played the Florida Classic since 1978.
In recent history in this series, Bethune-Cookman won nine straight in the Florida Classic since 2011, but Florida A&M has won two in a row including a 41-20 win last season. The Rattlers enter this 2023 matchup as the heavy favorites with a 9-1 record.
That means the Wildcats (3-7) and first-year head coach Raymond Woodie Jr. can try to spoil their 10-win season.
Saturday’s Florida Classic at Camping World Stadium is set for a 3:30 kickoff.
