DAYTONA BEACH, Florida -- With a third-string quarterback taking over the reins Saturday, Bethune-Cookman's offense was as explosive as ever. On the other hand, the other offense on the field was almost as prolific as the home team's.B-CU and Fort Valley State combined for 1,070 yards as the host Wildcats shook off a dismal offensive performance at North Carolina A&T a week before to race past their Division II rival 58-30 before 4,921 fans at Municipal Stadium.
B-CU improved to 3-3, while FVSU fell to 1-6. B-CU sophomore David Blackwell passed for 222 yards and one touchdown and rushed for 92 yards in his first start. He left the game late in the third quarter after dislocating his thumb.
"We wanted to start David and give him an opportunity. And we were going to come back with Jackie (Wilson)," B-CU coach Brian Jenkins said. "David moved the offense well, we decided to go ahead and stay with him."
