DAYTONA BEACH, Florida -- Danny Dillard said he felt nervous playing in his first college football game — three years after he finished a stellar career at Venice High School.
By the time he got the ball at the Grambling State 5-yard line with 6:12 left in the game, the nerves were long gone. Dillard barreled into the end zone for the go-ahead score and Bethune-Cookman went on to win its home opener 36-23 in front of 9,423 fans on Saturday at Municipal Stadium.
“When I got the ball, it was time to get into the end zone,” said Dillard, who redshirted at Miami in 2012 and sat out last season. “I just kept pushing.
“I was a little nervous at the beginning, but to get back into it, it felt good.”
In a game that was touch and go for most of the afternoon, the 13th-ranked Wildcats (2-0) felt very good about escaping with a victory for the second straight time this season.
