FSU loss not withstanding, B-CU on a roll heading into MEAC slate

HEAD COACH BRIAN JENKINS

DAYTON BEACH, Florida  -- It’s time again for Bethune-Cookman to put its guarantee money in the vault and the target on its back.

The “preseason’’ is over.

 

The Wildcats begin their eight-game Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference slate Saturday at Delaware State, a stretch that will run through the end of the season and decide whether they will return to the postseason for a third time in four years.

 

B-CU won the MEAC title last year with a perfect 8-0 mark, and it has a 13-game conference winning streak, dating back to 2011.

 

B-CU (3-1) is an overwhelming favorite to defend the title. The ’Cats are ranked 21st in the The Sports Network’s FCS poll and are the consensus No. 1 team among historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs). They are one of just three MEAC teams with a winning record through the first third of the season.
