Bethune-Cookman to open in MEAC/SWAC Challenge again

NCAA Football Betting Lines

02/01/2012 - Daytona Beach, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Bethune-Cookman will kick off its 2012 football season in the MEAC/SWAC Challenge and make a trip to the University of Miami for a second straight season.

The Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference program announced its 11-game schedule Wednesday night, although a season-opening opponent has yet to be determined for the MEAC/SWAC Challenge on Sept. 2 at the Florida Citrus Bowl in Orlando.

A year ago, the Wildcats opened their season with a 63-14 rout of Prairie View A&M in the challenge that matches teams from the FCS' two historically black conferences.

Bethune-Cookman also will go to Miami on Sept. 15, hoping to avenge a 45-14 setback last season.

Coach Brian Jenkins' squad will play home games against Tennessee State (Sept. 22) from the Ohio Valley Conference and MEAC rivals North Carolina A&T (Oct. 6, Homecoming), Norfolk State (Nov. 20) and North Carolina Central (Nov. 27).

The Wildcats will visit conference foes South Carolina State (Sept. 8), Hampton (Sept. 29), Morgan State (Nov. 3) and Savannah State (Nov. 10), and play Florida A&M in the Florida Classic at the Florida Citrus Bowl on Nov. 17.

Bethune-Cookman is coming off an 8-3 record in Jenkins' second season.

El Duque expected to throw Tuesday

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- New York Mets pitcher Orlando Hernandez, sidelined at spring training because of arthritis in his neck, is expected to resume throwing on Tuesday.

Hernandez received a cortisone shot Thursday after leaving camp and returning to New York to have his neck examined. The 41-year-old right-hander is penciled in as the team's No. 2 starter behind Tom Glavine.

El Duque's health is a major issue for the Mets, who won the NL East in 2007 and came within one victory of the World Series. Their aging and unsettled rotation is a big question mark this year.

MySportsbook.com has the Mets as -110 favorites to repeat as NL East champions odds. 

Hernandez went 11-11 with a 4.66 ERA last season, including 9-7 with a 4.09 ERA in 20 starts after the Mets acquired him from Arizona in late May. But he missed the playoffs because of a torn calf muscle.

New York already is without Pedro Martinez, out until at least midseason following rotator cuff surgery. Among those competing for starting jobs are prospects Mike Pelfrey, Philip Humber and Jason Vargas, plus veterans Chan Ho Park, Jorge Sosa and Aaron Sele.

Notes: Mets manager Willie Randolph is excited about two new utility players he could have on his bench: Damion Easley and David Newhan. ''Their value is really all over the place,'' Randolph said. Easley can play anywhere in the infield and could be used as an emergency outfielder, though Randolph said he would prefer to keep the veteran in the infield. Newhan, meanwhile, can play second base, third or any outfield position for the Mets. ''I love versatility,'' Randolph said. ''I love guys that can give me options when I need them to step in.''
