The Bison offense, despite only producing 195 yards of total offense, scored the lone touchdown of the game when CJ Neely reeled in a 2-yard reception in the second quarter.
Cam Dyson and Ja'Quavion Smith had seven tackles each to pace the Howard defense, which held Florida A&M to 272 yards of total offense and 5-for-15 on third down.
