Bethune-Cookman seniors lead ball-hawking secondary

DAYTONA BEACH, Florida  --  Cornerbacks Tim Burke and Dion Hanks arrived at Bethune-Cookman together three years ago, and since then they have collected three championship rings. Now the seniors want to earn one more before they leave.

“Our goal is to win a national championship,” said Burke, who won Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference titles with the Wildcats in 2010, 2012 and this season. “We've got to win four more games to make it (to the title game).”
 
First, B-CU has to win an FCS playoff game for the first time, which they will try to do at 1 p.m. Saturday in a first-round contest at Coastal Carolina. The winner travels to No. 8 seed Montana next week for the round of 16.
 
The corners have been on the losing end twice in the playoffs, both times at home (against New Hampshire in 2010 and Coastal in 2012).
