Bears scheduled to play only four of 12 games at Hughes Stadium this season
BALTIMORE, Maryland -- Morgan State senior linebacker Cody Acker expects students on campus to know plenty about the Bears from their play, even before the team takes the field at Hughes Stadium for the first time this season.
"Home or away, football is football, the crowd behind you or not," said Acker, who led the team with 97 tackles last season, at the team's media day Sunday. "The team expectation is a [Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference] championship, you can't look at anything else."
The Bears, who will play Sept. 13 against Bowie State in their home opener, start the season with two road games against Eastern Michigan (Aug. 30) and Holy Cross (Sept. 6). After hosting Bowie State, Morgan State enters a seven-game stretch during which it plays just one game in Baltimore.
The New York Urban League Football Classic against Howard on Sept. 20 is technically a home game for the Bears, but it will be played at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J., home to the New York Giants and New York Jets.
"We're going to be the road warriors," first-year coach Lee Hull said at media day. "My reaction [when seeing the schedule] was just 'Wow.'
