Damon Stewart got the Hornets within a touchdown, hitting Asa Gregg with a 47-yard touchdown pass in the opening minutes of the second half, but the Hornets later missed a 20-yard field goal attempt. Florida A&M's defense forced two punts, a pick-6 and stopped the Hornets on fourth-down to preserve the victory.

Moussa was 25-of-40 passing for 294 yards to lead FAMU.

Stewart was 23 of 38 for 289 yards passing. Kisean Johnson had eight catches for 112 yards for Alabama State (1-2, 0-1).
