For the past two months, coach Brian Jenkins has insisted that the quarterback who practices the best during the week will receive the starting nod on gameday.
Remaining true to his word, Jenkins named David Blackwell as the starting quarterback just minutes before Saturday’s contest against Savannah State. Blackwell responded by ripping off an 80 yard touchdown run on the Wildcats first offensive play from scrimmage. He later added two more first half touchdown runs (of 37 yards and 59 yards) as well as two 3rd quarter touchdown passes (46 yarder to Isidore Jackson and 16 yarder to Johnathan Moment). Blackwell accounted for 350 yards of total offense (203 rushing and 147 passing) in a little over 2 quarters of play.
The Wildcats finished the contest with 625 yards of total offense in route to a 59-3 dismantling of the over-matched Tigers.
Defensively, the Wildcats yielded just 202 yards of total offense and allowed no second half first downs. Defensive tackle, Harold Love III, led the defensive charge with 12 tackles.
