[News from the FCS]

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (August 21, 2010) - The downfield play from Saturday's Bethune-Cookman University practice at Municipal Stadium was a nice 65-yarder from Jackie Wilson to Patrick Harris.But as far as receiving went, the day was a showcase for Bethune-Cookman running backs.Androse Bell, Isidore Jackson and Angelo Cabrera each registered a first down catch during the workout, with Bell eluding tacklers for what would have been a 50-yard gain after the catch."Today was one of those where the backs stepped up and made plays," said B-CU coach Brian Jenkins. "We were looking at all types of situations."Quarterback Matt Johnson appreciates what his running backs can do in addition to the carrying the ball."When we call their number, they respond and do what is asked of them," said Johnson, who also scrambled for a touchdown during red-zone drills. "Androse knows the offense as well as I do. When he saw the coverage, he knew he was going to get the ball."It was B-CU's first live action on the new Municipal Stadium turf."Hot, very hot," Johnson said about the combination of Florida weather in August plus the new surface." But the field is very fast. It'll make for great football."B-CU opens the season at Municipal Stadium September 4 against Edward Waters College.
