In the end, it was mostly penalties and turnovers that cost head coach Willie Simmons and the Rattlers the ball game.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/npr.brightspotcdn.com\/36\/96\/078dcfac44e9a5f9dd375e8e28ef\/ap23253160063271.jpg\" width=\"4236\" height=\"2824\" alt=\"University of South Florida, defensive back, Jonathan Ross (10), sacks FAMU quarterback, Jeremy Moussa (8) for a loss of yards during an NCAA football game on Saturday, Sept. 9, 2023, in Tampa, Fla.

Its about the little things.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>FAMU&#8217;s 38-24 loss puts the team at 1-1 for the season.
