WEST POINT, N.Y. -- The Morgan State Bears lost at Army West Point by a final score of 60-3 on Saturday at Michie Stadium before an announced crowd of 28,290 fans.

Army's triple option, which stalled badly in a 44-6 loss to Notre Dame a week ago, returned to form against an FCS defense that came in allowing 32 points per game. The Black Knights scored on their first two drives and led 29-3 by halftime.

The nation's No. 2 rushing offense wound up with 504 yards, 561 total yards, as Army clinched its second six-win season since 1996.

Chris Andrews (8 for 20) threw for 79 yards for the Bears (2-8, 2-5 MEAC), who converted just three of 16 third downs. Morgan State, which hasn't won a road game since October 2015, failed to score a touchdown for the second time this year and was held to 124 yards of offense.

Army's defense clamped down on Morgan State's opening drive, forcing a three-and-out, and the Black Knights scored on their ensuing possession, capped by Davidson's 23-yard score.

After forcing another punt, the Black Knights got into the red zone on Woolfolk's 42-yard rush to the 5. Ahmad Bradshaw ran in on a keeper one play later and the Black Knights led 13-0.

Stymied on the ground, the overmatched Bears caught a break in the second quarter when they recovered an Army fumble on one of their five first-half punts. That set up a drive from the Army 19, but Morgan State had to settle for a field goal for its only score.

Army's 249 yards of offense in the first half bested its entire effort in the loss to Notre Dame. A big chunk of that came on Jordan Asberry's first carry. The sophomore took a pitch from Bradshaw at midfield, got to the right sideline and then picked up a block to score with 2:45 left in the half. The Black Knights got another touchdown two minutes later when Bradshaw found streaking Edgar Poe for a 31-yard score.

Army, the nation's 10th-best defense, racked up six sacks and senior Jeremy Timpf had 10 tackles in his 35th straight start.
