In Part 3 of the 12 part series on our 2012 opponents, we're going to talk about the opponent in our home opener, the Bethune-Cookman Wildcats.
They are led by 3rd year head coach Brian Jenkins. In his two years in Daytona Beach, his teams are 18-5. They finished 2nd in their conference (MEAC) behind Norfolk State, who won the league title. They got four spots on the first team and
three on the second of their preseason conference teams. Key players that return for them in 2012 are RS Junior RB Isidore Jackson (5'10" 195), who
rushed for 866 yards on 146 carries in 2011, Junior OT Terrance Hackney (6'6" 310), RS Juniors LB Jarkevis Fields (6' 230), who led the
team in tackles last year and Safety D.J. Howard (6' 185), who makes it two from
both offense and defense on their conference first team.
Also, they have three on the conference preseason second team. Leading that group is RS Senior WR Eddie Poole (6'3" 195, from Belle Glade Glades Central), who was with their Coach at the conference's pressers up in Norfolk,VA. The other two that are back in 2012 that are on the conference's 2nd team are Junior OL Marquell Rozier (6'7" 325) and Senior DT Harold Love III (6'3" 325).
This team, according to Lindy's, is ranked #14 in the FCS preseason poll. When you look at their schedule, we are the only FBS team that they play and we blew them out 45-14 last year at Sun Life, I think this team can make the FCS playoffs this year and make a deep run once there, and win their league, also, they get their biggest test in conference at home (Norfolk State). I predict for BCC a 10-1 season (only loss obviously to us), and run the table in their conference.
In Part 4 of the series, we'll talk about the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets.
