ORLANDO , Florida — Bethune-Cookman quarterback Quentin Williams had an eventful day.
He scored two first-quarter touchdowns, was benched after fumbling for the second time and then wound up hoisting his team’s MVP trophy in the Florida Classic as the Wildcats defeated Florida A&M 29-10 Saturday in front of 45,321 spectators at the Florida Citrus Bowl.
“It’s a tremendous blessing,’’ Williams said.
The victory clinched a second consecutive Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference championship for No. 14 B-CU (10-2, 7-1). The Wildcats will find out at 11:30 this morning who they will meet in the FCS playoffs. The pairings will be announced live on ESPNU.
“The next step is to take a breather (Saturday night), enjoy family and pick it back up (this morning) and see what’s in store for us playoff-wise,’’ B-CU coach Brian Jenkins said.
Athletic director Lynn Thompson said the Wildcats put in bids to host the first three rounds of the playoffs. B-CU has hosted a playoff game in two of the past three seasons.
