Morgan State offensive line tops in MEAC in sacks allowed thus far

BALTIMORE, Maryland -- Last season, Morgan State was one of the least sacked teams in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference. They're even better this fall -- the Bears are the least-sacked team in the league.

Through six games, redshirt senior quarterback Robert Council has been sacked just seven times – a number that leads the MEAC and is tied for 20th among Football Championship Subdivision teams.

Coach Lee Hull directed much of the credit to an offensive line composed of three seniors in left tackle Darren Pinnock, center Clarence Swain and right guard Randon Key, redshirt freshman left guard Dominique Woods, and freshman right tackle Matthew Thompson (Perry Hall).

“We have a veteran offensive line,” Hull said Tuesday during a conference call arranged by the league. “We have four starters back from last year, and our fifth guy is a true freshman, but Matt has done a great job. Our offensive line has taken him under their wings, and he has flourished.”
