Morgan State QB Seth Higgins poised to practice, but Robert Council could remain starter

BALTIMORE, Maryland  -- As soon as it would seem that junior Robert Council has established himself as starting quarterback of the Morgan State football team, Council may get some competition from the former starter.

Junior Seth Higgins, who sat out the Bears' past two games after spraining his right (throwing) shoulder in a 34-22 victory over North Carolina Central on Oct. 19, has been cleared to return to practice Tuesday, coach Donald Hill-Eley said during the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference's weekly conference call.

“He should be returning to practice today,” Hill-Eley said. “That was the last news that we had gotten. We’ll see when we get out there. Those things change from day to day.”

With Higgins (Edgewood) as the starter, Morgan State (3-6, 3-2 MEAC) went 2-2. Higgins has completed 52.9 percent of his passes (37-of-70) for team highs in yards (452) and touchdowns (five), and has carried the ball 57 times for 282 yards and four scores.
