The Maroon Tigers gained 94 yards on the ground – 49 by David Carter and 36 by Hart.

Six Morehouse receivers caught 11 passes for 135 yards, with Achille Hendje (3-42), Robert Darby-McNair (2-40) and Jamar Rodriguez (2-21) getting the lion’s share. Hendje’s 13-yard scoring reception from Hart was the only Morehouse touchdown.

Ian Mullen kicked second-quarter field goals of 26 and 52 yards.

Linebacker Charlie Wilson led all tacklers with 13 tackles. Brandon Houston contributed nine tackles.
