DAYTONA BEACH, Florida -- Normally, Bethune-Cookman coach Brian Jenkins would be irate after his team committed four turnovers.
Normally, he’d be incensed to see his team suffer a letdown in the second half.
But Saturday’s 48-21 victory over Savannah State was different. The Wildcats jumped out to a 42-7 halftime lead and then rested their first- and second-string players in the second half.
“We played some down-the-line guys,’’ Jenkins said. “We know what we have coming in next week, and we want to be 100 percent healthy. That’s the main thing.’’
The victory sets up B-CU’s biggest homecoming game in years. The Wildcats (6-1) will host South Carolina State (5-2) at 4 p.m. next Saturday in a contest that could decide the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference championship. Both teams are 3-0 in the MEAC, while every other conference team has at least one loss.
