DAYTONA BEACH, Florida -- Facing South Carolina State always seems to bring out the boxer analogies from Brian Jenkins.
The Bethune-Cookman head football coach has likened the matchups during his three seasons at the helm to a “heavyweight” fight. During Tuesday’s Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference teleconference in discussing the latest clash this Saturday at Municipal Stadium, Jenkins sounded like he was ready to don the proverbial “gloves” again.
“It’s going to be a heavyweight fight,” he said. “You’ve got a good South Carolina State team that’s very aggressive on both sides of the ball. (S.C. State head football coach) Buddy Pough has that team playing at a high level. They’re a very attack-style team. I just hope we’ll be able to compete with them.

“They’ve got a star-studded defense that runs around and they’re fast. Offensively, the quarterback (Richard Cue) is playing lights out and a physical, brutal offensive line. Running backs that are just tenacious runners. I just hope we can match up with them and see if we belong on the field with them.”
Bethune-Cookman has managed to buck conventional wisdom in thriving offensively with three starting quarterbacks. The 3 Ws (Jackie Wilson, Quentin Williams and Brodrick Waters) have combined to throw for more than 1,000 yards and six touchdowns and are used interchangeably depending on the flow of the game.
