Morgan State football comes out of bye trying to slow Bethune-Cookman

MORGAN STATE (3-4) @ BETHUNE- COOKMAN (7-2)
When: Saturday, 4 p.m.
Site: Municipal Stadium, Daytona Beach, Fla.
Radio: 88.9 FM
Series: Bethune-Cookman leads 19-8

What's at stake: A bye gave the Bears a free weekend, but with a 3-2 record in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference, they still find themselves trailing four programs in the standings. One of those teams is Saturday's opponent, the Wildcats. Since a surprising 24-14 loss to North Carolina A&T on Oct. 17, Bethune-Cookman (5-1 in the conference) has won two straight and is in the hunt for either a share of the league title or the outright championship for the fourth consecutive year. Although the Wildcats have won the last three games in this series, today's meeting will be the first between the programs since Nov. 3, 2012 when Bethune-Cookman scored a 24-13 victory at Hughes Stadium in Baltimore. Morgan State is looking to avoid its first three-game skid in the MEAC during coach Lee Hull's two-year tenure.
