Bethune-Cookman runs wild against FIU
MIAMI, Florida -- In FIU’s 34-13 loss Saturday to Bethune-Cookman, the Panthers allowed 311 yards rushing to the Wildcats. Junior running back Anthony Jordan led the way for B-CU, piling up 150 yards on 21 carries, including a 58-yard touchdown in the first quarter. Despite facing a Football Bowl Subdivision opponent, Jordan wasn’t surprised the Football Championship Subdivision Wildcats had success running the ball.
“Yeah, we knew,” Jordan said. “We just had to block, and the offensive line did a good job with their keys, and we just made it happen.”
B-CU coach Brian Jenkins thought the battle in the trenches was pivotal.
“We preached that all week, that we had to win the battle in the trenches,” Jenkins said. “Our guys were up for it. I thought [FIU] had a very good defensive line — we thought that was the strength of their defense — and we knew it was going to be a heavyweight fight with those guys.”
In Jordan’s shadow, fellow running backs Cary White and Drexler Dixon combined for 88 yards and two touchdowns on 15 carries.
