BIRMINGHAM, Ala.—The Samford football program has added a 12^th game to its 2013 schedule, playing at Florida A&M on Sept. 14, the athletics department announced on Thursday.
 
The game will be part of a two-game series between the two programs. Florida A&M will travel to Seibert Stadium for a game on Sept. 12, 2015.
 
The game will mark the first-ever meeting between Samford and Florida A&M in football. This will also be the first time since 1931 that Samford has played 12 regular-season games in a season.
 
Samford will now open the season with three-straight road games, with the FAMU game following trips to Atlanta to play Georgia State and Little Rock, Ark., to play Arkansas. Samford has not opened a season with three-straight games away from Seibert Stadium since 1969.
