ORLANDO, Florida -- e only one who could stop Bethune-Cookman Saturday, it seems, was Mother Nature.The Wildcats jumped out to a 21-7 lead over Florida A&M in the first half and looked to be on their way to a blowout victory in this year's Florida Classic, but torrential rain showers at Orlando's Citrus Bowl sent B-CU's offense sputtering for a bit.
But it didn't last long as Quentin Williams combined for 304 total yards of offense and four total touchdowns to lead No. 22 B-CU (9-2, 7-1 MEAC) to a 35-14 win over FAMU (1-10, 1-7) to take this year's Classic crown.
It was the most points scored by a Wildcats team since 2008 and the largest margin of victory in the series since 2009.
Now the Wildcats hope the Football Championship Subdivision playoff selection committee members are impressed. While an outright conference championship was out of the question, the team did earn a piece of the MEAC title along with North Carolina Central and North Carolina A&T.
Bethune-Cookman is trying secure an at-large bid and become one of 24 teams to qualify for the FCS playoffs. The committee will reveal its decision Sunday.
