SAVANNAH, Georgia - Travis Davidson ran 13 times for 125 yards and three touchdowns to lead Morgan State University to a 45-6 victory over Savannah State University in a Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference football game Saturday night at T.A. Wright Stadium.A crowd of 1,978 watched as SSU (0-5, 0-3) took a 6-0 lead with 8:20 left in the first quarter on quarterback Antonio Bostick’s 1-yard touchdown run, which capped an 11-play, 74-yard drive. Preston McCarthy’s kick for the extra point was blocked.
Morgan State (3-2, 2-0) responded immediately. Chris Flowers returned the ensuing kickoff for an 88-yard touchdown and Earvin Gonzalez kicked the extra point to give the Bears a 7-6 lead with 8:06 remaining in the first quarter.
“There was nothing special about our special teams, and that has been a continuing issue all year,” SSU head coach Steve Davenport said. “We’ll continue to address it. But it really is putting us in bad situations right now.”
In the second quarter, Morgan State made it 14-6 when Brian Mann ran for a 4-yard touchdown and Gonzalez kicked the extra point with 1:50 remaining before halftime.
Morgan State led, 14-6, at halftime.
“I am happy for the kids that they’re playing one half, but the game is two halves, 60 minutes, and we’ve been preaching that since Day 1, and we’ve got to fix it,” Davenport said. “It does us no good to play a good half if we’re not going to follow it up with a second half.”
Morgan State, playing its fourth consecutive road game, scored 31 unanswered points in the second half to improve to 7-0 in the series with SSU.
