DURHAM, N.C. – The No. 13 Bethune-Cookman Wildcats pounded out 436 rushing yards, powered by senior running back Isidore Jackson's 182 ground yards to become the program's all-time leading rusher, during a convincing 38-14 win over North Carolina Central University on Saturday inside O'Kelly-Riddick Stadium in Durham, N.C.

Bethune-Cookman (8-1, 5-0 MEAC) overcame 24 penalties for 232 yards by amassing 594 yards of total offense to remain unbeaten in conference play. The defending MEAC champions also held NCCU to only 137 total yards, including negative-1 yard rushing.

Four different Wildcats rushed for touchdowns, as Jackson, Dre'Sean Nelson, Cary White and Michael Jones all found the end zone. B-CU starting quarterback Quentin Williams completed 12-of-20 passes for 147 yards and a touchdown toss to Eddie Poole, who had three catches for 56 yards.

NCCU (4-5, 2-3 MEAC) was held scoreless until 12:16 left in the contest when senior Thomas Dixon returned a kickoff 100 yards for a touchdown, marking the fifth special teams touchdown by the Eagles this season and tying teammate Adrian Wilkins for the second-longest kickoff return in school history.

The Eagles scored again with less than four minutes remaining when sophomore Kevin Thompson recorded his first career touchdown with a 6-yard run.

NCCU senior linebacker Tazmon Foster collected a game-high and career-best 18 tackles, including 2.0 hits for a loss with a sack and a forced fumble. He now has 110 tackles and three forced fumbles this season to lead the Eagles.

Up next, NCCU hits the road to take on Hampton University on Nov. 9 at 1 p.m.
