Council's two-minute drill leads Morgan State to 30-27 win over Hampton
BALTIMORE, Maryland -- After watching a 16-point halftime lead be replaced by a 27-23 fourth quarter deficit against Hampton on Saturday, Morgan State quarterback Robert Council didn't panic when met with a fourth-and-13 from his own 37-yard line.
Instead, with less than three minutes to play, Council completed a 36-yard pass to Antonio Jefferson, extending the Bears' drive. A few plays later, Council's 7-yard touchdown pass to Nate Ingram with 26 seconds remaining gave Morgan a 30-27 lead that the defense held, securing a key Mid-Eastern Conference win before an announced 5,789 at Hughes Stadium.
"We had to score," Ingram said. "In order to win that game, we got to get seven points."
And Council, in just his third start this season, said he was well-prepared for what ought to have been a pressure-packed drive.
