Morgan State didn't need long Saturday to come to the realization it was in for a long day against Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference power Bethune-Cookman. Sixteen seconds, to be exact.
That's how long it took for the Florida school to complete a 70-yard touchdown pass on its first play from scrimmage. It was only the beginning of a game to forget for the host Bears, who committed seven turnovers and allowed 640 yards of offense in a 69-32 loss.
"There wasn't an effort on either side of the ball — offensively or defensively," Morgan head coach Donald Hill-Eley said. "Anytime you turn the ball over seven, almost eight times, you can't beat a little league team like that. We have to do a better job of protecting the football, and we have to make some changes in some areas that we're making some crazy decisions."
'Cats offense runs wild in win
BALTIMORE, MD -- Bethune-Cookman coach Brian Jenkins admitted he's not a numbers guy. "We're not into stats or records," Jenkins said. "We're just focused on running our offense." Following Saturday's 69-32 win over host Morgan State, however, the numbers were difficult to ignore.
The Wildcats racked up 640 yards of total offense, including 366 on the ground, and forced seven turnovers to improve to 4-0 for the first time since 2003, as well as 2-0 in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference for the first time since 2006.
What's more, B-CU scored its most points on the road since 1950, starting on the game's first offensive play, when quarterback Matt Johnson found wide receiver Eddie Poole wide open down the left sideline -- the result of badly blown coverage by Morgan State -- for a 70-yard touchdown.
