DAYTONA BEACH — Bethune-Cookman coach Brian Jenkins smiles when he's asked about North Carolina Central's surprising football success this season.
The Eagles will visit B-CU at 4 p.m. Saturday in a showdown of undefeated Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference teams.
While the Wildcats (5-2, 4-0) have been a contender since Jenkins took over in 2010 — winning 17 of 20 conference games — the Eagles (5-2, 4-0) were picked to finish ninth in the MEAC preseason coaches' poll and have not had a winning season since 2007.
“If everybody was to go off the (preseason) predictions, then there would be no need to play the games,'' Jenkins said.
He is not surprised in the least to see coach Henry Frazier turn N.C. Central around in just his second season. He knows Frazier has done it before.
