Preview for Bethune-Cookman's game at Delaware State

DAYTONA BEACH, Florida  --  Bethune-Cookman (3-1, 0-0), ranked 21st in The Sports Network FCS poll, begins its MEAC title defense against Delaware State (1-3, 1-0). The Hornets held off Savannah State 24-22 last week in their MEAC opener. The Tigers, down 24-9 with 8:11 left, pulled to within two on a touchdown pass with 1:51 on the clock, but a 2-point conversion pass to tie fell incomplete.



3 Keys to the Game
 
1. Clip Hornets’ wings
The Hornets lead the MEAC in passing at 232.2 yards per game. The Wildcats are allowing 150.2 yards through the air.
 
2. Eat up the clock
The Wildcats are 17th in the nation in rushing (234.3 ypg) and are expecting 2012 leading-rusher Isidore Jackson back, after his coach said he missed two games due to in-house “issues.” They should be able to dominate time of possession.
 
3. Take shots down field.
