Morgan State completes second straight comeback, beats Robert Morris 28-27

Morgan State achieved another impressive comeback, defeating Robert Morris 28-27 in a thrilling out-of-conference game. This victory comes on the heels of their previous win against Villanova. The Bears previously faced a resilient Robert Morris squad that had previously upset Michael Vick and Norfolk State in a homecoming matchup, 33-31, just last weekend.

Morgan State, with a solid record of their own, aimed to close out their homecoming with a convincing win, and they certainly delivered on that promise. Robert Morris showcased their aerial prowess, with Carson Haggard accounting for 376 of their 437 total yards, including three touchdowns and zero interceptions. Haggard averaged an impressive 12.5 yards per pass.

The Tigers initially took control, leading 14-3 at the end of the second quarter. However, Morgan State staged a dominant third quarter, scoring 18 points. They were aided by a Gavin Fetty field goal, a Cameron Edge 56-yard touchdown to Joseph Towler, and a 45-yard touchdown run by Keith Jenkins Jr. Jenkins Jr. proved to be a pivotal player for Morgan State, contributing 13 carries for 98 yards and two touchdowns.

However, Robert Morris' defense proved formidable, with Haggard finding Eyasu Palmore for a 9-yard touchdown to lead 27-21. Morgan State's special teams, though, managed to block the extra point, creating an opportunity for the Bears. They capitalized on this by scoring the game-winning touchdown: a rushing touchdown by Jenkins Jr. right at the Robert Morris one-yard line, with just 24 seconds remaining on the clock.

Robert Morris had one last chance to seal the game by getting into field goal range, but their Quarterback Haggard was sacked and lost the ball, with Jordan Judy recovering it. Morgan State completed their homecoming weekend with a decisive victory, leaving them with one final out-of-conference match against Tennessee State before diving into a challenging in-conference schedule that includes Howard University under Ted White and a potential game of the year candidate in South Carolina State.
