Morgan Struggles in Second Half, Falls to NCCU 28-17

BALTIMORE, Md. (Oct. 23, 2021) -- The Bears came into this matchup looking to win their first game of the season. They started well, but didn't finish well.

Davius Richard threw for four touchdowns in North Carolina Central's 28-17 win over Morgan State on homecoming day at Hughes Stadium.
 
Morgan State (0-7, 0-3 MEAC) struck first, finishing a seven play, 75-yard drive with a Neil Boudreau 19-yard touchdown pass to Wesley Wolfolk, who made a spin move on a defender on the way to the endzone to help give the Bears a 7-0 advantage with 10:48 left in the first quarter. 
 
NCCU (3-4, 1-0 MEAC) answered later in the first quarter with a jump pass from Richard to Quentin Chaplin, who made a one-handed reception in the endzone to help tie the game at 7 with 1:37 left.
 
After Kaleb Coleman picked-off Richard's pass in the second quarter, the Bears took advantage quickly and converted on a 25-yard field goal from Kluivert Akubuo with 5:08 remaining to give the Bears a 10-7 advantage. 
 
The Eagles opened the second half scoring when Richard threw a 31-yard touchdown pass to Macklin with 6:45 left to take the lead at 14-10. 
 
Morgan answered back with Romello Kimbrough breaking into the endzone from 55 yards out. The extra point from Akubuo was good to give the Bears a 17-14 lead with 4:41 left in the third quarter. 
 
The Eagles responded with a short drive to go ahead to stay in the 4th quarter when Richard threw a 53-yard pass to Andrew Smith with 1:35 left to take a 21-17 lead. Then they put the game away in the 4th quarter when Richard threw an 18-yard touchdown pass to Latrell Collier with 5:22 left in the game.
 
Morgan State hits the road next week when they head to Norfolk State (5-2, 1-0). Kickoff is set for 2 pm in Norfolk, Va.
