DAYTONA BEACH, Florida -- Brian Jenkins received a Gatorade bath after his Bethune-Cookman Wildcats
clinched their second Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference championship in three
years.
But
the workaholic coach was not ready to celebrate.
“It's
not over,'' Jenkins said after B-CU dispatched Savannah State 49-7 Saturday
evening in Savannah, Ga. “We still have some more football to play. We're just
going to keep preparing and keep playing.''
The
win, coupled with North Carolina Central's 22-21 loss to Florida A&M,
guaranteed the Wildcats (8-2, 7-0) at least one extra game to play. They
clinched the MEAC's automatic bid to the FCS playoffs.
But first they have a date with arch-rival FAMU in the Florida Classic next Saturday in Orlando.
The Wildcats also advanced to the playoffs in 2010, Jenkins' first season at B-CU, when they finished in a three-way tie for first place in the conference. This year, with N.C. Central losing its second MEAC game, B-CU clinched the title outright.
