DAYTONA BEACH, Florida -- Bethune-Cookman Football will host five games at newly renovated Municipal Stadium aka “The Cage” this fall, as the 2015 football schedule was released Wednesday afternoon by head coach Terry Sims and Director of Athletics Lynn W. Thompson.
Bethune-Cookman, co-champions of the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) a season ago, will travel to FBS opponent Miami (Fla.) to begin the season September 5. After that, B-CU travels to Grambling State (Sept. 12) for a return game in Grambling, Louisiana.
The first two home games of the year for the three-time defending MEAC champion Wildcats will be September 19, as Bethune-Cookman hosts Lane to Municipal Stadium, followed by the conference-opener against Savannah State (Sept. 26).
B-CU then goes home/away in consecutive weekends the rest of the way, beginning with a trip to 2015 MEAC Co-Champions North Carolina Central on October 3, in Durham, North Carolina. The Cats return home against MEAC Co-Champions South Carolina State on October 10, before returning to the Tar Heel State for a matchup with another of the five MEAC co-champions from last year, North Carolina A&T, on October 17.
Homecoming for Bethune-Cookman is set for October 24, when Norfolk State comes to Daytona Beach. The Spartans defeated the Wildcats in 2013, marking the first home defeat in conference for the Cats in more than two years.
B-CU wraps up the road portion of the schedule October 31, with a trip to Delaware State, before hosting Senior Appreciation Day on November 7, welcoming 2015 MEAC Co-Champions Morgan State to “The Cage”.
The final regular season game occurs on November 21, when the Wildcats meet the Rattlers of Florida A&M in the annual Florida Blue Florida Classic at the brand-new Citrus Bowl Stadium in Orlando, Florida.
All home games are set for 4 p.m. kickoffs, while times for the road games will be set later in the spring prior to the beginning of the campaign.
