DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – Boxing is clearly on Brian Jenkins’ mind when he discusses South Carolina State football.
The Bethune-Cookman head football coach has likened the two previous meetings against S.C. State (1-0) to the famous trilogy of bouts between Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier.
Not surprisingly, Jenkins sees the latest installment of the Wildcats/Bulldogs rivalry at 6 p.m. Saturday as a potential “Thriller in Manila” – this time taking place on the gridiron of Willie Jeffries Field at Oliver C. Dawson Stadium.
“I’m expecting for it to be another heavyweight fight,” said Jenkins during Tuesday’s Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference teleconference. “You’ve got two proud (teams) that want to go at it and they want the victory. South Carolina State is another championship-caliber team that’s on our schedule and we feel that we’re a top-level team and they’re going to go head-to-head. They’re well-coached. They got a lot of talent. They’re playing at a high level and it’s a cat-and-a-dog fight and everybody knows when a cat and a dog get into a fight, it’s very serious. So it’s going to be another good football game and people should tune in.”
