MVSU was unable to capitalize on the opportunity, though.īethune-Cookman would draw first blood on their next series thanks to a trick play. On their second drive of the evening, the Wildcats fell victim to an early turnover when quarterback Tylik Bethea fumbled the ball near midfield.
Things started slowly for both teams but especially Bethune-Cookman. Both of those skids came to an end with a 20-7 victory over visiting Mississippi Valley State. Raymond Woodie Jr’s team had lost six straight games and hadn’t won any against SWAC opponents. There hasn’t been a lot to write home about in Daytona Beach this fall but on Thursday night, the Wildcats of Bethune-Cookman finally gave fans something to be happy about.
