Bethune-Cookman lost to Miami (FL) 45-14 Saturday at SunLife Stadium. This was the first meeting between the two schools and first major college opponent for the Wildcats in its 86 year history.
The Wildcats took an early 7-0 lead when Jackie Wilson connected with Eddie Poole for a 1 yard touchdown pass. The quick score had the Hurricane fans in a state of shock and discernment.
BCU (2-2, 1-1 MEAC) kept Miami in check for the remainder of the first half and trailed 14-7 at halftime.
However, Miami (2-2, 0-1 ACC) eventually got it together and took the lead for good at 24-14 at the end of the third quarter.
The Hurricanes then scored 21 unanswered points in the final quarter to secure the victory and assuredly calmed the nerves of the Miami faithful in practically empty stadium.
Jackie Wilson went 21 of 31 for 180 yards and a touchdown for the Wildcats.
