DAYTONA BEACH, Florida  -- It's been a mixed bag for Bethune-Cookman in its opening three games of the football season.

After suffering a 45-0 blowout loss at Miami, the Wildcats responded by winning a 56-53 shootout over Grambling State. Last week, in its home opener, B-CU committed three turnovers but survived a scare from Division II Lane College for a 7-3 victory.

However, the Wildcats have consistently dominated Saturday's opponent, Savannah State. They have won the last 15 meetings against the Tigers, dating back to 1992, by a combined score of 600-180.

Savannah State enters on a 23-game losing streak overall. Its last win came against Fort Valley State, another Division II program, on Sept. 14, 2013.

Here are three keys to success as the Wildcats look to improve to 3-1.
