Morgan State beats Division--II member Central State (Ohio) 27-0 for first victory of the season
BALTIMORE (AP) Kobe Muasau threw for 156 yards and a touchdown, Jason Collins Jr. rushed for 67 yards and a score, and Morgan State Bears beat Division--II member Central State Marauders (Ohio) 27-0 on Saturday for its first victory of the season.
Morgan State (1-3), which trails the all-time series 10-4, picked up its first victory over Central State since 1975. The teams’ most recent matchup was an 18–17 victory for Central State in 1996.
Morgan State took a 6-0 lead in the opening four minutes after Muasau connected with Tyler Wilkins on a 30-yard score to cap a four-play, 76-yard drive.
Joshua Narh made it 13-0 on a 32-yard punt return for a touchdown in the second quarter.
Collins, the MEAC preseason offensive player of the year, scored on a 7-yard run with 3:47 left before halftime for a 20-0 lead. Randall Nauden added a 1-yard run in the fourth.
Tison Hill was 12 of 17 for 83 yards with an interception for Central State.
Morgan has games against Miles College, Georgetown and Virginia-Lynchburg before opening MEAC play against Howard on Oct. 25.
