MEAC title no longer in picture, Morgan State football still has goals in 2015

BALTIMORE, Maryland -- Saturday’s 38-14 loss at Bethune-Cookman eliminated Morgan State from contention for the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference title that the program had shared last year. But that doesn’t mean that the team has nothing left to play for in 2015.

If the Bears (3-5 overall, 3-3 in the league) can win a pair of home games against Florida A&M (1-8, 1-5) on Saturday and Norfolk State (3-6, 3-3) on Nov. 21, they will post back-to-back .500 campaigns for the first time since the program went 6-6 in 2008 and 6-5 in 2009.

Coach Lee Hull said he is not worried about player morale now that the team doesn’t have a shot at the MEAC championship.

“The guys have been up in the office Sunday and Monday,” he said Tuesday morning during his weekly conference call organized by the league. “They’re in good spirits, and we talked about us finishing strong and having a winning season. … So our team morale is high, and they understand the position we’re in and that we just need to finish strong and go into the offseason on a positive note.”
