Addison leads Bethune-Cookman to 38-26 win over Hampton

HAMPTON, Virginia  -  While quarterback Quentin Williams was making the first start of his college career, another redshirt freshman from the Tampa area had his coming-out party for Bethune-Cookman on Saturday night.

Nick Addison intercepted two passes -- returning one 90 yards for a touchdown -- and B-CU forced seven Hampton turnovers as the Wildcats held off the Pirates for a 38-26 Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference victory in Hampton, Va.

“Nick has been in place to make those kind of plays the last few weeks,'' B-CU coach Brian Jenkins said. “We told him if he sees it to pull the trigger. He did his job tonight and was able to make the play.''

 

B-CU, which ended a two-game losing streak, improved to 3-2, 2-0 in the MEAC. The Wildcats will host North Carolina A&T in their homecoming game at 4 p.m. Saturday.

 

The Pirates (0-4, 0-2) rolled up 536 yards on offense but could not overcome four interceptions and three lost fumbles.
