Record-breaking senior class of Bethune-Cookman not done yet

DAYTONA BEACH, Florida  -- Jordan Murphy doesn't like to look back, but sometimes the Bethune-Cookman tight end can't help thinking about his first Florida Classic three years ago.

“We were actually beating (Florida A&M) pretty good,'' the senior said. “Then our quarterback, Matt Johnson, got hurt and the tide change. You still think about it every now and then, like what would have happened if he didn't get hurt. He would have been able to play in the playoff game (the next week). We dropped that one. But you just try to forget and move forward.''

 

The Wildcats' senior class has done a pretty good job of that over the years. Heading into Saturday's annual season finale with FAMU, this group has won more games (36) than any senior class in school history.

 

“These guys have only lost four conference games,'' B-CU coach Brian Jenkins said. “And that's something special to be said about these seniors. This senior group has helped establish this program as one of the best, and they've done a good job of representing this program.''
