Tennessee State football faces host Florida A&M on Sept. 19, with the Tigers coming off one of their most humiliating losses in recent history after falling to Alabama A&M, 30-3, on Sept. 12.

Yes, the Tigers (0-3) suffered their most lopsided loss in history the week before at Georgia 63-3, but there were no realistic expectations for a win in that game against one of the nation's top FBS programs.

The Tigers were expected to bounce back against fellow HBCU Alabama A&M, but they were beaten soundly from the opening kickoff.

TSU must beat Florida A&M (1-2) to avoid matching its worst start since going 0-4 in 2022.

TSU's offense has struggled. The Tigers haven't scored a touchdown in eight consecutive quarters. TSU is ranked 109th in total offense in the FCS (238.0 yards) and tied for 110th with Lafayette in scoring offense (10.0 points).

The offense could catch a break in this game. Florida A&M is 105th in total defense (499.3 yards) and tied for 91st with two other teams in scoring defense (38.3 points).

Tennessee State vs. Florida A&M prediction

Tennessee State and Florida A&M, longtime HBCU rivals, have had similar starts in the 2026 season. TSU came close to beating Jacksonville State before losing 26-24 in the opener, and Florida A&M soundly beat Albany State 20-7. Both also got clobbered by FBS teams, TSU falling 63-3 at Georgia and Florida A&M losing at Miami (Florida) 77-7. The Rattlers have proven to have a bit more firepower, giving them the edge.
