B-CU rallies for 56-53 win at Grambling State

GRAMBLING, Louisiana -- Bethune-Cookman, which was held scoreless until the 7-minute mark of the second quarter, rallied to win 56-53 at Grambling State on Saturday.

The Wildcats (1-1) scored two late touchdowns in a span of 1:44 as Terry Sims earned his first victory as B-CU coach. Grambling State dropped to 0-2.

“We told the team it was going to be a heavyweight fight,’’ Sims said. “We came out swinging. I’m proud of these guys. I’m more excited for our team about our first win.

“Both teams had some young players. We had some mistakes, and some penalties. … The wide receivers did what we’ve been looking for them to do all year.”

Quentin Williams threw for three fourth-quarter touchdowns for the Wildcats.

Running back Anthony Jordan’s 41-yard touchdown put B-CU up 56-46 with 1:48 to play.
