B-CU 'D' sets tone in win over Alabama State Hornets

Bethune Cookman stretched ASU Coach Reggie Barlow's losing streak to 8 consecutive losses. Barlow is 5-8 since becoming the Hornets head coach.

DAYTONA BEACH, FL -- Florida Classic 2, Alabama State 0.

One week after Florida A&M beat the Hornets, Classic rival Bethune-Cookman did the same Saturday, riding a staunch defensive effort and opportunistic secondary to a 28-7 victory at Municipal Stadium. "That's Coach Wyatt football right there. That's Alvin Wyatt football. When we get together and we meet, the first thing we talk about is defense," said B-CU defensive coordinator Marc Lippens, who spoke for Wyatt because the head coach was being treated in the locker room after the game for cramps.

"The first kids that we look at on the recruiting trail are defensive kids. He wants our defense to dominate and let the offense do what they do on their own side." The offense did their part as well, racking up 370 yards behind quarterbacks McKinson Souverain and Matthew Johnson.
