Morgan State comeback leaves NCCU with 1st MEAC loss

BALTIMORE, Maryland  -- N.C. Central didn’t get around to finishing.

On the road, NCCU was in the driver’s seat against Morgan State until about halfway through the fourth quarter in Hughes Stadium on Saturday.

Things began falling apart for the Eagles.

The scoreboard showed 36 seconds left in the game when Morgan State quarterback Robert Council took the snap and began rolling out. He lofted a soft, 15-yard toss to wide receiver Andrew King, who was lonely in the end zone until his touchdown grab attracted his Bears teammates.

That play tied the game with 32 seconds left in the contest. Chris Moller kicked the extra point that gave Morgan State a 21-20 homecoming win.
