In the FCS Huddle: 2013 MEAC Preview

PHILADELPHIA, Pennsylvania -- This could very well be the year for the Wildcats. Or the Eagles, or the Aggies, even the Rattlers.

It could be the year for any Mid-Eastern Atlantic Conference team, really. Not just to win the league championship and earn a berth to the FCS playoffs. This could be the year - the first in over a decade - the MEAC could produce a contender.

For a conference that hasn't had a national playoff win since 1999, this year promises to be loaded with talent and depth.

Bethune-Cookman has reigned over the league in two of the past three seasons, and has the depth in 2013 to return to the playoffs. Led by all-conference preseason selections Isidore Jackson and Jarkevis Fields, the Wildcats come into this season loaded with leadership and playmakers.

Coach Brian Jenkins enters his fourth year with B-CU after having posted a perfect 8-0 conference record in 2012 for the first time. But he and his squad will certainly be challenged this upcoming season for the conference crown, as they have an enormous target on their backs.
