Bethune-Cookman aims to extend its 18-game MEAC win streak

DAYTONA BEACH, Florida  -- Bethune-Cookman coach Brian Jenkins doesn't care about Norfolk State's 2-7 record.

The Wildcats, who are riding an 18-game Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference win streak, return home to face the Spartans (2-7, 2-3) Saturday at Municipal Stadium. Kickoff is at 4 p.m.

"They could be very dangerous team," B-CU coach Brian Jenkins said of Norfolk State. "They are going to do what they must to come away with a victory. They have everything to gain and nothing to lose."

The Wildcats are closing in on the MEAC title. They have three games remaining all against conference adversaries with a combined record of 8-29.

Bethune-Cookman (8-1, 5-0) is ranked No. 10 in the FCS coaches and No. 12 in the media poll. The team's sole loss this season is to Florida State, which is ranked No. 2 in the BCS standings.
