DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- Quentin Williams threw a touchdown pass and ran for a score as #25 Bethune-Cookman pulled away from Morgan State 38-14 Saturday at Municipal Stadium in Daytona Beach, Florida.
 
The Bears (3-5, 3-3 Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference) trimmed the B-CU lead to 21-14 at halftime, but the Wildcats went on to score 17 unanswered points.
 
Williams cued the onslaught in the second half, throwing a 44-yard touchdown to Frank Brown. He finished 16-of-19 with 257 yards and gained 73 yards on 10 carries with a touchdown. Uriel Hernandez added a 23-yard field goal in the third quarter to extend the lead to 31-14 in the third quarter.

B-CU's (7-2, 5-1 MEAC) backup quarterback Larry Brihm ran for a 4-yard TD early in the fourth quarter. Brihm finished as the game's leading rusher by posting 87 yards on just eight carries for the Wildcats (10.9 avg.).

Morgan State's defense helped setup the Bears' first score of the game when redshirt senior linebacker Joel Scott recovered a fumble by Anthony Jordan at the B-CU 31 yardline. It only took six plays before Orlando Johnson turned the corner and juked his way for a sensational 9-yard TD run. Chris Moller tacked on the extra point to tie the ballgame at 7-7 with 9:17 left in the second quarter.

Johnson finished with 16 carries for 63 yards, but the Bears offense was limited to total of 59 yards on the ground.

On the Bears' ensuing possession, Moses Skillon was intercepted by B-CU safety Michael Drayton who returned it 30-yards to paydirt to give the Wildcats a 21-7 advantage with 3:39 left in the half.
 
Skillon rebounded when he engineered a 13-play, 75 yard drive and tossed a 10-yard TD pass to a wide-open Landen Malbrough (5 rec., 40 yds) in the back of the endzone. The Bears went into the halftime trailing 21-14.
 
Skillon completed 20-of-40 passes for 227 yards and was picked off twice by Marquis Drayton.
