DAYTONA BEACH -- Preseason is over. And finally Bethune-Cookman coach Brian Jenkins was ready to admit it. Jenkins went into his first two games with the Wildcats building up his opponents. But after he built them up during the week, the 'Cats tore them down on game day.
Quarterback Matt Johnson passed for two touchdowns and ran for two more Saturday, as B-CU improved to 2-0 with a 42-7 win over Savannah State in front of 2,510 fans at Municipal Stadium. Johnson accounted for 277 of the Wildcats' 446 yards on offense in the rout, which came on the heels of a 70-10 demolition of Edward Waters two weeks ago.
Next week the competition will get decidedly tougher, as the 'Cats play host to Norfolk State in their Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference opener.
