ORANGEBURG, South Carolina -- The final home game for 14 South Carolina State seniors turned into a personal showcase for the team’s future.Redshirt freshman quarterback Adrian Kollack rushed for three touchdowns and passed for another in the first quarter to complement a dominating defensive performance to lead the Bulldogs to a 38-3 victory before 8,053 fans in Willie Jeffries Field at Oliver C. Dawson Stadium.
In winning for the ninth straight time and improving to 5-0 in nationally televised games on ESPNU, S.C. State held Morgan State to 134 total yards. Led by linebacker Joe Thomas of Blackville-Hilda’s team-high 10 tackles, the Football Championship Subdivision leader in rushing yards held the Bears to 85 on the ground and forced two fumbles.
S.C. State also increased its nation-leading sack total with five against the Morgan State duo of Josh Council and Seth Higgins. The Bears’ duo was held to 5-23 passing for 49 yards and an interception.
The third straight win moved the Bulldogs (8-3, 6-1) a half-game ahead of Bethune-Cookman for first place in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference. Should the Wildcats lose one of their final two games, the Bulldogs can clinch the conference title outright with a win Nov. 23 at Norfolk State.
