Outlook: Morgan is 4-0 against Savannah State, scoring a total of 100 points in the past two games, including a 55-26 win in 2005. The Bears would like a breakout night for their offense. They'll lean on RB Chad Simpson and the running game behind a big offensive line. QB Mario Melton has a nice combination of speed and possession receivers but needs to improve his accuracy. The Bears will play pressure defense and must improve in pass coverage, where they were especially weak in 2006. The Tigers, who play as an independent, went 2-9 last season, including a 55-6 loss at Bethune-Cookman.
