South Carolina State pulled away from Morgan State for a 51-10 MEAC win, scoring 30 unanswered points after halftime. The Bears kept it close before the break, but a touchdown on the final play of the first half shifted momentum—and Morgan’s offense could not respond.

Yes, But

Morgan showed fight in the first half, closing the gap to 14-10 with a defensive touchdown and a field goal. But South Carolina State scored just before halftime, then took advantage of a Morgan fumble as it widened the lead. The Bears’ only touchdown came from the defense.

What's Next

Morgan State looks to regroup against Delaware State in Dover on Nov. 7 as the Bears continue their MEAC schedule.

Bottom Line

The first-half effort offered a brief opening, but Morgan’s offensive struggles and the late-half touchdown proved costly. The Bears will need more production across all phases to bounce back.
