Struggling Hampton U. faces MEAC leader Bethune-Cookman

HAMPTON, Virginia -- When Hampton U. football coach Connell Maynor watches Bethune-Cookman, he sees what he wants his program to look like.

"That's exactly the way we want to be," Maynor said Wednesday. "They've been dominating the MEAC for the last four years, since Coach (Brian) Jenkins has got there. To say that's how we want to be is exactly right. That's what we want to be."

Maynor and the Pirates (2-8, 1-5 MEAC) get an up-close look at the two-time defending conference champ Wildcats in front of a national TV audience 7:30 p.m. Thursday at Armstrong Stadium.

Bethune-Cookman (8-2, 5-1 MEAC) is tied for the conference lead with South Carolina State and North Carolina A&T. The Wildcats' only conference loss was to S.C. State, and they don't play North Carolina A&T this season.
