Bethune-Cookman coach not planning special approach to S.C. State game
ALWAYS WATCH IN 720p HD, WIDE SCREEN
DAYTONA BEACH, Florida — Since becoming Bethune-Cookman head football coach in 2010, Brian Jenkins has characterized the annual meetings with South Carolina State as a “heavyweight fight.”
The #13/14th-ranked Wildcats (6-1, 3-0) have raised their respective hands in victory in three of the four matchups, including two at Oliver C. Dawson Stadium. They also enter this Saturday’s visit riding a four-game winning streak, while the Bulldogs (4-3, 2-1) continue to lick their wounds from the 48-35 home loss to North Carolina Central on Oct. 18.
Nevertheless, Jenkins still believes S.C. State is a “ball club to be reckoned with” in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference and does not take stock in recent success.
“We look at every team the same,” he said. “We don’t look at South Carolina State any differently than we look at any other team and that’s with all due respect. We look at every team we play as a high-caliber team. We respect every team we play and therefore, mentally, we take the same mental approach and mental preparation for every team. So it’s no different when it comes to South Carolina State.
