Morgan State looks to stay undefeated in MEAC play against Savannah State

SAVANNAH STATE (1-3) @ MORGAN STATE (2-2)

When: Saturday, 4 p.m.

Site: Hughes Stadium, Baltimore

Audio: WEAA 88.9 FM

Series: Morgan State leads 7-0

What's at stake: Saturday's 26-6 victory at Delaware State helped the Bears improve to 2-0 in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference, but they are in a second-place tie with Norfolk State (2-3 overall, 2-0 in the conference) and need a win this weekend to tie Bethune-Cookman (5-1, 3-0) for first in the league. Morgan State can stay in the hunt for sole possession of first place and get off to its first 3-0 start in the MEAC since 2009 with a win against the Tigers. Since joining the league for the 2011 campaign, Savannah State has finished in last place out of 11 teams every year. The Tigers could avoid a similar fate after defeating Florida A&M, 37-27, a week ago. That victory snapped a 24-game losing streak and a 32-game skid in the conference for Savannah State, which last visited Hughes Stadium on Oct. 8, 2011.
