This week's installment of RFC Throwback Thursday turns the clock back to December 16, 1978. That was when the Florida A&M University (FAMU) Rattlers faced off against the University of Massachusetts (UMass) Minutemen for the inaugural NCAA Division I-AA (now FCS) national championship, which was then known as the Pioneer Bowl, and played in Wichita Falls, Texas. FAMU outlasted UMass 35-28 to win the first-ever I-AA national championship, the MEAC's only title to this day. Now, sit back and enjoy yet another great moment in non-Power Five Conference college football history.
