Bethune-Cookman wary of last-place Norfolk State

DAYTONA BEACH, Florida  --  Last year, Bethune-Cookman turned its season around with a victory against eventual Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference champ Norfolk State.

On Saturday, Norfolk State has a chance to turn its season around against B-CU (4-2, 0-3), which like the Spartans last year, is trying to remain undefeated in the conference.
 
B-CU meets Norfolk State at 4 p.m. Saturday at Municipal Stadium.
 
“Even though their record may not show it, this is still one of the toughest teams in the conference,'' B-CU coach Brian Jenkins said of the Spartans (2-5, 0-4), who have lost five games in a row and have virtually no chance to defend their MEAC title.
 
Norfolk State coach Pete Adrian issued similar words of warning last year before a physical B-CU team dominated the line of scrimmage to upset the Spartans 14-6 on national TV. The Wildcats, who were 1-2 in the conference going into the game, began a string of five consecutive MEAC victories to end the season.
