Coach Wilson on the upcoming game against Bethune-Cookman….
I think it's going to be a good game. I think we're being very competitive now. We have the talent. We have over 80 freshmen and sophomores in our program, but these guys are really skilled. I know that Bethune-Cookman has been the cream of the crop for years and they're always going to be a good team. I think it's going to be a very competitive game and I think it's going to be a great game to come watch.
Coach Wilson on the keys to winning MEAC games...
"Experience. I think its experience. I think these BCS games has help us. I believe the players are playing with a bigger chip on their shoulder now, but I think if we just keep on going and becoming better coaches, number one, including myself, and becoming better players then we'll figure it out and we'll come away with the victory."
The Series: Bethune-Cookman leads the series 37-8-2. The last time the Tigers beat B-CU was in 1992 (W, 32-21). B-CU has won the last 15 consecutive meetings against the Tigers.
