Delaware State at Morgan State, Mr. C's Official Game Thread

[Mr. C]

Mr. C is heading out the door for Baltimore and Morgan State as the Bears host Delaware State in the FCS Thursday night game of the week. Come and spend some time with me over some football tonight. Comments and questions make it all the much more fun.

[Lehigh Football Nation]

Big game for Delaware State as they try to put pressure on BCU and NCCU for the MEAC championship.

[DSUrocks07]

Go Hornets!!!! If we don't win tonight we can forget about the MEAC title. I may have had low expectations going into this season but dammit I'm gonna be greedy xlolx

Party like its 2007! xbandwagonx

[DSUrocks07]

Game will also be carried on ESPNU for those who are interested. Start time is 7:30pm.

[Mr. C]

Mr. C has arrived at Hughes Stadium. Early talk in the press box among writers is on the poor work done by the student newspaper, the Towerlight, at Towson University. Also was surprised to here that the once-great sports section that belonged to the Baltimore Sun actually quoted stuff from the student newspaper. How far has out industry fallen?

[Mr. C]

Go Hornets!!!! If we don't win tonight we can forget about the MEAC title. I may have had low expectations going into this season but dammit I'm gonna be greedy xlolx

Party like its 2007! xbandwagonx

Not sure if I'm ready to call the Hornets title contender yet, but I'll tell you more after watching DSU play tonight. This should be a good game between two solid teams. Nice weather, about 60 degrees and clear.

[Mr. C]

It is less than 15 minutes to game time and the band is preparing to come on the field. Looks like it might be a small crowd, with the game on television and on a Thursday night.

[Mr. C]

Just ran into Jay Walker, the former Howard QB star and the ESPN color analyst in the hallway. The ESPNU booth is two door down from us in the main press box.

[Mr. C]

The national anthem was nicely done by a pair of female singers and we closing in on game time.

[Mr. C]

Looking for Mr. Chicken to check in at any time. Thursday night football isn't the same without my fine feathered friend from Delaware.

[Mr. C]

Captains are on the field for the coin toss. Delaware State will received the opening kickoff and will be heading towards the scoreboard after Morgan State won the toss and deferred to the second half.

[Mr. C]

Both teams were out on the field, ready for the kickoff, but it wasn't even 7:30 p.m. yet.

[Mr. C]

Kickoff goes through the end zone. DSU ball on the 25.

[DSUrocks07]

Both teams were out on the field, ready for the kickoff, but it wasn't even 7:30 p.m. yet.

Yeah ESPN doesn't really do much of a pregame for us. Kickoff was at 7:33pm.

[Mr. C]

Incomplete pass. What a pleasure to hear Lamont Germany doing play-by-play on radio tonight here a couple of seats down from me.

[DSUrocks07]

Damn, Elko had that on the keeper for the 1st, but I like that he kept his eyes downfield.

[Mr. C]

Two pass completions to RB Chung come up just short and force a Hornet punt. MSU ball at the 28. TV time out.

[Mr. C]

Travis Davidson rolls for 6 on his first run and a short pass for one makes it third and 3.

[Mr. C]

Council to Chris Flowers for a first down at the MSU 48.

[Mr. C]

Davidson for 4 on 1st down and a Council pass isn't close. 3rd and 6.

[Mr. C]

Council reads the zone and finds another WR in the middle for another 1st down at the DSU 41.

[DSUrocks07]

TD Bears, our pass defense looks like how it did in the FAMU game where we gave up over 400 yards through the air.

[Mr. C]

Council weaves his way through the defense for 41 yards and a nice TD scamper. Morgan State 7, Delaware State 0. 10:50 left in the first period.

7 plays, 72 yards, 2:34 on the drive.

[Mr. C]

TD Bears, our pass defense looks like how it did in the FAMU game where we gave up over 400 yards through the air.

It was a very soft zone with room underneath to hit receivers.

[Mr. C]

On the press box dining menu, fried chicken wings, great mustard-based barbecued beans, rolls and Mac and Cheese.

[DSUrocks07]

It was a very soft zone with room underneath to hit receivers.

Yup...exactly like the FAMU game. We made Fleming look like a Payton Award finalist...

[Mr. C]

DSU will take over again at the 25 after another touchback from MSU's fine kicker Earvin Gonzales.

[Mr. C]

Chung for 5 on 1st down and a split end screen to Travis Tarpley for 4 on 2nd down. 3rd and one.

[Mr. C]

Chung bangs ahead for one and a 1st down at the DSU 35.

[Mr. C]

Nick Elko to Justin Wilson for 6 on 1st down.

[Mr. C]

Chung looks quick on a draw play and he bursts to the MSU 45. 1st down for DSU.

[Mr. C]

Elko is sacked for no gain by DE Chris Robinson. 2nd and 10.

[Mr. C]

Bubble screen to Tarpley for 5 to the MSU 5.

[DSUrocks07]

Nice play Elko! xhurrayx

[Mr. C]

Nice pass from Elko on the run to TE Ryan Langdon for 14 yards. 1st down on the MSU 26.

[Mr. C]

Chung in the middle for 3 to the 23.

[DSUrocks07]

Tarpley! WTF man!?!?

[Mr. C]

Another bubble screen to Tarpley, a fumble and Nathan Ayers falls on it after forcing it. 1st down at the 23 for Morgan State.

[Mr. C]

Davidson grinds out 4 tough yards on 1st down to the 27. 5:21 left in the first period. 2nd down hitch pass to Davidson for minus-3. 3rd and 9.

[Mr. C]

Council sprints and finds Lamont Church for a 1st down at the sideline at the MSU 40.

[Mr. C]

Church catches another and steps out of bounds at the 39, lose of one.

[Mr. C]

Swing pass to Davidson for minus-3. 3rd and 14.

[Mr. C]

Council couldn't see his open receivers and runs around in the pocket before gunning a pass incomplete. 4th-down punt time.

[Mr. C]

DSU punt return to the Hornet 28. 2:58 left in the first period.

[Mr. C]

Lamont Germany was just remembering another Morgan State-Delaware State game on an "ugly" Thursday night in a monsoon down in Dover. I was glad I watched that one on TV instead of heading down to DSU. It was indeed an ugly night and an ugly game.

[Mr. C]

Chung goes for a 1st down at the 38 and Tarpley gets to the 47 on an 8-yard reception. Screen out wide to Tarpley and a great open-field tackle by Rankin.

[Mr. C]

3rd and 2 and DSU has a costly false start on freshman LT Clark McCready.

[Mr. C]

Time out Morgan State No. 1 with 49.1 seconds left on 3rd and 7.

[Mr. C]

MSU jumps on the snap and DSU completes a 16-yard pass to the MSU 44. Elko is 11-of-12 so far for 71 yards.

[Mr. C]

Elko drops the snap and falls on the ball at midfield. 2nd and 16. Last play of the 1st period.

Morgan State 7, Delaware State 0.

[Mr. C]

Little mistakes are killing Delaware State thus far. If the Hornets can overcome those, they are moving the ball.

[Mr. C]

1st Quarter Stats

DSU 17 yards rushing, 71 passing, 88 yards total offense
MSU 55 yards rushing, 30 passing, 85 yards total offense

Time of possession, DSU 9 1/2 minutes to 5 1/2 for MSU

[Mr. C]

Elko ready to start the 2nd period and a deep seem route to Tarpley goes to the MSU 7. Great route and pass.

[Mr. C]

I formation power run goes to the 3. 2nd and goal.

[Mr. C]

Another power run to the 4. Loss of one on an Ayers tackle.

[Mr. C]

Time Out Delaware State with 13:15 left on the second period clock. DSU is No. 1 in the MEAC in red zone offense, the MSU radio crew tells us.

[DSUrocks07]

Nice work by Blount forcing MSU to burn a timeout.

[Mr. C]

And now Morgan State answers with its 2nd Time Out of the half after looking at DSU's alignment. DSU was originally in a double TE formation and changed to an even heavier set before the time out.

[DSUrocks07]

TD HORNETS!!!!!! xhurrayx

[Mr. C]

Double slot formation and Elko floats the ball in the back of the end zone to Tarpley for the TD from 4 yards out. Delaware State 7, Morgan State 7. 13:10.

High snap, but Mitchell Ward boomed the PAT through.

9 plays, 72 yards, 4:48 on the drive

[Mr. C]

Nice play calls for Delaware State to even the score.

[Mr. C]

Elko is a sizzling 13-of-14 for 118 yards.

[Mr. C]

102 yards on a brilliant kickoff return for Tyrone Hendrix of Morgan State.

[DSUrocks07]

Wooooooooooooow more mistakes by DSU, first on defense, then on the fumble, now special teams...

[Mr. C]

Morgan State 14, Delaware State 7, 12:56 left in the half after the Gonzales PAT.

2nd career kickoff return for a TD by Hendrix, who had one last season.

[Mr. C]

Wooooooooooooow more mistakes by DSU, first on defense, then on the fumble, now special teams...

Got to give some credit to Hendrix there, that was a pretty awesome return. He hit the hole and showed some great speed there. Because the NCAA is clueless on stats, it is officially 100 yards on the 102-yard return.

[Mr. C]

Well, this is going to blow Morgan State's time of possession.

[Mr. C]

DSU returns its kickoff with Tarpley going to the 24.

[Mr. C]

A pass to Chung in the flat is well designed and goes to the 41. 17 yards on the play.

[Mr. C]

Justin Wilson with some nice moves after a catch goes to the MSU 47. I like what I'm seeing of the DSU spread offense.

[DSUrocks07]

Elko is on FIRE!

[MR. CHICKEN]

Looking for Mr. Chicken to check in at any time. Thursday night football isn't the same without my fine feathered friend from Delaware.

HEY MR. C/DSU ROCKS.......DUH CHICKEN IS CHECKIN' IN..............AWK!

DUH HENDRIX RETURN....WHAA HE WEARS....DUH BEARS...#1........AWK!

JAY WALKER DID UH PIECE ON DUH TAILGATE CHOW.....AN' IT LOOKED SCRUMPTIOUS!!!

[Mr. C]

Timing gets another catch on a great back-shoulder throw.

[Mr. C]

DSU is down to the 19. Can Elko challenge Appalachian State's Richie Williams' NCAA record of 28 consecutive completions? I was there that day in 2004 when ASU went against Furman.

Elko has set the DSU consecutive pass record.

[MR. CHICKEN]

HORNETS HAVE RECIEVERS WHIFF RELIABLE PAWS!........ELKO CAN'T MISS 'EM TA-NITE!

[DSUrocks07]

HORNETS HAVE RECIEVERS WHIFF RELIABLE PAWS!........ELKO CAN'T MISS 'EM TA-NITE!

If only we could say the same when we were in Newark xoopsx

[Mr. C]

Just as I was letting Richie Williams know his record was being challenged, a DSU WR dropped a pass. Another incompletion at the goal line to Tarpley makes it 4th and 4 from the 13.

[Mr. C]

DSU goes for it and Tarpley makes a nice square-in move and takes a pass from Elko for a 13-yard TD reception.

[Mr. C]

Delaware State 14, Morgan State 14, 9:43 left in the half.

[MR. CHICKEN]

If only we could say the same when we were in Newark xoopsx

YER PASSIN' ATTACK SHOWED SIGNS O' SCARY GOOD....EVEN IN DUH EARLY SEASON GIG.....@ TUBBY PARK!!

[DSUrocks07]

Wow that was...not smart...should have just threw it out of bounds.

[DSUrocks07]

Loving the play calling right now! xthumbsupx

[MR. CHICKEN]

BEAR D-B'S..GET CHIPPY AS...HORNETS AIR GAME SHOWS 'EM UP!

[Mr. C]

MSU takes over at the 24 and Davidson goes for 6 on 1st down. Council is harassed on 2nd down for an incompletion and is forced to scramble for a completion that loses yardage on third down. Punt time. 8:20 left in the half as DSU takes over at the Hornet 44.

[Mr. C]

The Internet went very south for awhile here. DSU just converted on a 4th down and now has a 3rd and 6 at the MSU 13.

[DSUrocks07]

TD HORNETS!!!!!!

EDIT: May be reviewed....

[Mr. C]

Great throw by Elko to Wilson on the fade for a nice TD. Play under review.

[Mr. C]

Expect to see this overturned.

[DSUrocks07]

Expect to see this overturned.

Too close to call. Could say the knee hit the plyon, could say the back foot hit. Possibly not indisputable...also MEAC refs.

EDIT: overturned...damn

[Mr. C]

The ruling is reversed because Wilson was ruled to be out of bounds.

[MR. CHICKEN]

KERMIT ON SIDE-LINE...TURNIN' GREEN AS CALL IS REVERSED.....BRAWK!

[Mr. C]

Mitchell Ward on for a 31-yard field goal that is drilled.

[MR. CHICKEN]

HIS KNEE HIT PYLON B/4 FOOT COMES DOWN.....PYLON IS OUT OF BOUNDS.....PER JAY!

[Mr. C]

Delaware State 17, Morgan State 14. 3:51 left in the second period.

9 plays, 43 yards, 4:29 on the drive.

[DSUrocks07]

Loving the way Elko is throwing the ball, Wilson should have gotten his foot down. That's on him. Oh well, at least we have the lead after all the mistakes we've made.

[Mr. C]

HIS KNEE HIT PYLON B/4 FOOT COMES DOWN.....PYLON IS OUT OF BOUNDS.....PER JAY!

Jay Walker was just on the other side of the glass from us looking at the replays intensively. He still knows how to study the film/video.

[Mr. C]

Loving the way Elko is throwing the ball, Wilson should have gotten his foot down. That's on him. Oh well, at least we have the lead after all the mistakes we've made.

Wasn't much time, or room as the defense was almost perfect. It was a really great throw. Elko has been impressive. He is now 20-fo-24 for 195 yards and 2 TDs (not counting the overturned one).

[Mr. C]

MSU starts its drive at the 31 and Travis Davidson runs a couple of times to the 45 for a 1st down.

[Mr. C]

Davidson for 1 on a draw. 2nd and 9.

[Mr. C]

Hendrix drops a dangerous pass that was almost a lateral.

[DSUrocks07]

Glad we didn't fall for the hard count.

[MR. CHICKEN]

BEAR DROP FORCES PUNT!

[Mr. C]

Nice screen pass to Davidson goes to the DSU 47. The Bears will go for it on 4th and 2 ... and then change their mind. And then Gonzales moves under center, but can't draw DSU offsides. Punt time and it bounces out of bounds on the 18. 1:25 left in the half.

[Mr. C]

Elko has one more chance in the half and Justin Wilson breaks the initial tackle on the out and goes to the MSU 43. 39 yards on the play.

[DSUrocks07]

BIG PLAY!!!! TWO MINUTE DRILL TIME!

[Mr. C]

2 yard reception to the MSU 41 and then a throwaway. 30.9 seconds left as MSU doesn't fall for the screen. 3rd and 8.

[DSUrocks07]

Nevermind...taking WAY too much time. Wasted about 30 seconds.

[MR. CHICKEN]

# 5 #7....PLAYIN' LIKE LIGHTNIN' BUGS!

[Mr. C]

Floated throw on another seem route to Tarpley is caught and run to the 14. Ball spiked with 22.5 seconds left.

[DSUrocks07]

xpopcornx

[Mr. C]

Wilson breaks another tackle on a catch and is tackled finally at the 6. 9.3 seconds left as DSU uses its final time out of the half.

[DSUrocks07]

One shot at the endzone...nothing short Elko PLEASE!!! xprayx

[Mr. C]

Floated throw on another seem route to Tarpley is caught and run to the 14. Ball spiked with 22.5 seconds left.

The Cover 2 zone isn't slowing Elko and company down.

[Mr. C]

3rd and 3. Four wide right, Wilson alone left and the fade is incomplete. Ward on for the field goal from 24 yards.

[DSUrocks07]

That was catchable.

[Mr. C]

Perfect kick from Ward as time expires in the first half.

Delaware State 20, Morgan State 14.

[Mr. C]

Halftime Stats

DSU 15-67 rushing
24-of-31 passing for Elko for 270 yards and 2 TDs
46 plays, 337 yards of total offense

MSU 8-76 rushing
9-of-14 passing for 28 yards
22 plays, 104 yards of total offense

Time of Possession:

Delaware State 20 1/2 minutes
Morgan State 9 1/2 minutes

[Mr. C]

The MEAC's top running back, Travis Davidson has only six carries for 29 yards for Morgan State, largely because MSU hasn't had the ball.

[Mr. C]

What does Henrietta have in the ice box for your halftime snack, Mr. Chicken?

[Mr. C]

xlolxxrotatehx:Dxnodx
Hopefully it isn't anything too fowl.

[Mr. C]

DSU's Tarpley has 10 catches for 106 yards and 2 TDs, including one for 43 yards. Wilson has six catches for 86 yards with that 39-yarder that set up the last field goal.

[MR. CHICKEN]

What does Henrietta have in the ice box for your halftime snack, Mr. Chicken?

NUFFUN' DAT COMPARES TA TAIL-GATE CHOW IN BALTIMORE LOTS........J WALKER DID UH PIECE ON SAID CHOW....B/4 KICK-OFF!......BRAWK!

[Mr. C]

Morgan State's band is in great form at halftime.

[Mr. C]

NUFFUN' DAT COMPARES TA TAIL-GATE CHOW IN BALTIMORE LOTS........J WALKER DID UH PIECE ON SAID CHOW....B/4 KICK-OFF!......BRAWK!

Didn't get a chance to join him. That would have been fun. What will be on your tailgating menu for the next Blue Hen home game?

[MR. CHICKEN]

TIGER/AMBROSIA....xlolx....AWK!

[MR. CHICKEN]

AMBROSIA GET IT?...IT'S UH FRUIT SALAD MAH GRANNY USED TA DO...WHIFF ORANGES/PINEAPPLE...CHERRIES.....COCONUT...WALNUTS....BABY MARSHMALLOWS!

[Mr. C]

Time for the second-half kickoff to Morgan State.

[Mr. C]

AMBROSIA GET IT?...IT'S UH FRUIT SALAD MAH GRANNY USED TA DO...WHIFF ORANGES/PINEAPPLE...CHERRIES.....COCONUT...WALNUTS....BABY MARSHMALLOWS!

Maybe Mr. C can stop by and sample it.

[Mr. C]

MSU starts at the 33 after a squib kick. Davidson powered out of bounds for 7 yards on 1st down and goes for a 1st down to the 43 on 2nd down.

[Mr. C]

Two blockers in front on a bubble screen to Flowers, who fumbles but recovers it at the 47. 2nd and 3.

[Mr. C]

Davidson has no blocks up front as he goes to the 48. 3rd and 6.

[Mr. C]

DSU coverage is good and forces Council to dump down to Davidson, who makes it to the 49. 4th down.

[DSUrocks07]

Dae-Hon Cheung will be a BEAST in the coming years. xthumbsupx

[MR. CHICKEN]

AH MAN..MO' WORRIES FO' KEELER..:(..AWK!

[Mr. C]

The lovely Internet here decided to go AWOL again. DSU on the strength of Chung's runs and some passes are in striking distance again on third and long, but Elko to Tarpley is a connection to the MSU 2.

[Mr. C]

Nagee Jackson slams into the end zone for a TD.

[MR. CHICKEN]

HORNETS GO POWER GAME...TD!

[Mr. C]

Two-point pass makes it 28-14, Delaware State.

7 plays, 80 yards on the drive.

[Mr. C]

AH MAN..MO' WORRIES FO' KEELER..:(..AWK!

The Hornets are making the Hens nervous about the future?

[MR. CHICKEN]

The lovely Internet here decided to go AWOL again. DSU on the strength of Chung's runs and some passes are in striking distance again on third and long, but Elko to Tarpley is a connection to the MSU 2.

MUST BE CRAPPY PRESS-BOX..CONNECT....WOODN'T KNOW ANYTHIN' 'BOUT DAT...xdontknowx...DOODLE-DOO!

[Mr. C]

26-of-33 for 327 and 2 TDs for Elko now. 11 catches for Tarpley (128 yards, 2 TDs). Chung has 8 carries for 71 yards.

[Mr. C]

MUST BE CRAPPY PRESS-BOX..CONNECT....WOODN'T KNOW ANYTHIN' 'BOUT DAT...DOODLE-DOO!

It's fine when it works, but has gone out twice now.

[Mr. C]

Better than the Internet at the Tub, though.

[Mr. C]

MSU starts at the 41, but Davidson is stopped for zero on 1st down.

[MR. CHICKEN]

Better than the Internet at the Tub, though.


COUPLE TIN CANS...SOME STRING.....IT'S ALL GOOD!

[Mr. C]

Low throw to Davidson is dropped over the middle. 3rd and 10. Council keeps having to dump the ball down.

[Mr. C]

Davidson gets a first down on a catch and run of 12 yards at the DSU 46 on a nice clear out.

[Mr. C]

COUPLE TIN CANS...SOME STRING.....IT'S ALL GOOD!

We can try that the next time I'm at Delaware Stadium.

[Mr. C]

Davidson crunches to the DSU 34.

[MR. CHICKEN]

DUH DIFF IN GAME...DUMPIN' DOWN....VS.....LASER SHOTS DOWN FIELD!

[Mr. C]

Davidson is getting some rhythm and bores down to the 31.

[Mr. C]

Stretch play doesn't get the needed blocking and Davidson is down at the 30.

[Mr. C]

Flowers runs a nice turn-in route and Council hits him at the 8. 1st and goal.

[Mr. C]

Brian Mann hard running from FB to the five.

[MR. CHICKEN]

TIGHTEN UP STATE...DON'T LET 'EM BACK INTA GAME!

[Mr. C]

Council makes a great decision to tuck it and run on a pass play and works his way into the end zone.

[DSUrocks07]

Poor contain on the QB scramble. Smh...missed extra point so still have an 8 point lead.

[Mr. C]

Gonzales misses his first of 23 PAT attempts after a high snap throws things off.

Delaware State 28, Morgan State 20, 5:02 left after the Council five-yard TD run.


9 plays, 59 yards, 2:59 on the drive.

[MR. CHICKEN]

MISSED X-POINT......DUH DAIN O' MAH BOOKIE THEORY O' RELATIVITY!

[Mr. C]

Can Morgan State find some way to slow down the Delaware State offense?

[Mr. C]

MISSED X-POINT......DUH DAIN O' MAH BOOKIE THEORY O' RELATIVITY!

Not sure I want to translate that last sentence.

[caribbeanhen]

On the press box dining menu, fried chicken wings, great mustard-based barbecued beans, rolls and Mac and Cheese.


mmmm .... best post in this thread

[Mr. C]

Good game and good tunes from the Morgan State band.

[MR. CHICKEN]

IT'S WHEN DUCATS ARE PLACED...TA COVERAH SPREADS!

[Mr. C]

DSU takes over at the 24 after the kickoff return.

[Mr. C]

Jet sweep to Wilson and a nice tackle by Calvin Fuller of MSU. 6 yards.

[caribbeanhen]

DSU's Tarpley has 10 catches for 106 yards and 2 TDs, including one for 43 yards. Wilson has six catches for 86 yards with that 39-yarder that set up the last field goal.
DSU receivers looked good in Newark

[Mr. C]

Out pattern to Wilson near a 1st down. Less than a yard short.

[Mr. C]

Chung is stopped on a draw. MEAC officials bail him out for a first down. Very bad spot.

[Mr. C]

Delaware State time out to avoid what should have been a delay of game penalty. 3:24 left in the third quarter.

[Mr. C]

Nice blitz stops a Chung run at the 35.

[Mr. C]

Pressure for one of the few times of the night on Elko and Bakari Smith gets him for a 7-yard loss at the DSU 28. 3rd and 18.

[Mr. C]

Elko and Wilson are not on the same page and a completion is going to be 7 yards short. Punt time with 1:43 left in the third.

[MR. CHICKEN]

BEARS NOW GOT DUH MO'!

[Mr. C]

MEAC officials blow another call on a hit on the MSU returnman. Should have been 15 yards after Brian Mann was clobbered. Morgan State ball at the Bear 23 with 1:33 left in the third.

[Mr. C]

First time Morgan State had stopped Delaware State after five straight scoring possessions.

[Mr. C]

Saving tackle as Davidson was about to turn the corner for six. Colston on the save. 2nd and 8 from the 25.

[Mr. C]

Council is sacked after a play-action fake and is slow to get up.

[Mr. C]

We will see a new QB, Seth Higgins, on the next play as Council is helped off.

[Mr. C]

Davon Moore on the sack for DSU that hurt Council.

[Mr. C]

Higgins under-throws a pass to Church on the sideline and Church has to break up an interception. Punt time. DSU ball at the Hornet 42 as the third quarter ends.

Delaware State 28, Morgan State 20.

[Mr. C]

Morgan State needs another defensive stops to stay in this game.

[Mr. C]

Third Quarter Stats

DSU 437 yards
MSU 177 yards

Elko is 28-of-35 for 341 yards and 2 TDs.

28-17 in time of possession 19-9 on first downs for the Hornets.

[MR. CHICKEN]

MAH BOOKIE THEORY O' RELATIVITY......SAY SPREAD IS 7.5....TEAM A.....WINNIN' 28-14........TEAM B...SCORES..NOW 28-20....GIMME...EXTRA POINT IS MISSED...SCORE STANDS 28-20.......DEPENDIN' ON HOW DUCATS ARE PLACED....DIFF IN WIN/LOSS....AWK!

[Mr. C]

Elko hits another pass for 14 yards to the MSU 44 and another pass goes for no gain. 2nd down and 10 for the Hornets.

[Mr. C]

Another back-shoulder throw for Elko and a first down at the MSU 28. This QB is really good.

[Mr. C]

Chung plunges to the 23. 2nd and 4.

[Mr. C]

Chung goes for the 1st down, but DSU is getting called for holding.

[MR. CHICKEN]

HOLDIN'...KERMIT TURNIN' GREEN AGIN!

[Mr. C]

RG Jadira Green on the hold. A run results in minus-2. 3rd and 17 for DSU.

[Mr. C]

Another perfect throw from Elko to Bailey goes to the 23 on the sideline. 12 yards and 4th and 5. DSU will go for the knockout with 12 minutes left. MSU calls time out.

[Mr. C]

DSU back on the field, Elko on the run on the blitz and his pass is just off-target enough for a drop for Milton Williams.

[Mr. C]

Morgan State will take over at the Bear 23 with 11:43 left.

[Mr. C]

You have to figure Morgan State will only get two more possessions.

[Mr. C]

This has been a good game for television.

[Mr. C]

Higgins still at QB and runs for his life and makes one of the worst slides you will ever see. Talking Pedro Guerrero bad.

[Mr. C]

First down for MSU to the 34 after back-to-back 5-yard plays.

[Mr. C]

Higgins with a great throw to Flowers takes it for 14 yards to the MSU 48.

[Mr. C]

Draw play to Davidson and a blitzer hits him untouched. 6 yard loss.

[Mr. C]

Higgins finds an opening in the zone for 30 yards to Church, who goes high for the catch. 1st down at the DSU 27.

[Mr. C]

Davidson crunches down to the 22 for five yards.

[MR. CHICKEN]

This has been a good game for television.

ONE UH DUH BETTERAH THURSDAYS.................BRAWK!

[Mr. C]

Davidson bounces a run outside and all on his own gets to the 18. 3rd and 1.

[Mr. C]

ONE UH DUH BETTERAH THURSDAYS.................BRAWK!

Agreed.

Another run blitz results in a loss for Davidson at the 22. 4th and 5.

[Mr. C]

Delaware State time out as MSU lines up to go for it on fourth down with 7:09 remaining.

[Mr. C]

As my old friend Steve Behr would say right now, big play.

[Mr. C]

TIME OUT BRUINS...GO FO' 3...STILL 7:00 TA GO!

That tells you that Donald Hill-Ely doesn't have much confidence in his defense stopping the Hornets.

[Mr. C]

ONE UH DUH BETTERAH THURSDAYS.................BRAWK!

Sure better than those SWAC games this season.

[Mr. C]

Gonzales going for a 38-yard field goal and his kick spins up there, hits the right upright and bounces through ... barely.

[MR. CHICKEN]

WOW....PIN-BALL SHOT....GOOD FO' TREY!

[Mr. C]

Gonzales just made the perfect penalty kick.

[MR. CHICKEN]

WHITE KNUCKLE....THURSDAY..........HORNETS...UP BAH 5...DIS IS WHERE KEELER WOOD GO GROUND GAME!

[Mr. C]

WOW....PIN-BALL SHOT....GOOD FO' TREY!
The Morgan State band should be playing Pinball Wizard.

[Mr. C]

WHITE KNUCKLE....THURSDAY..........HORNETS...DIS IS WHERE KEELER GOES GROUND GAME!

That's because he didn't recruit Elko.

[Mr. C]

Instead we get the ESPN theme. Argh.

[MR. CHICKEN]

HE MISSED TIGHTEND...PERILLO UH MAINE...TOO!...HE WAS JES' UP DA ROAD!

[Mr. C]

Three Morgan State defenders take themselves out on the kick coverage and DSU breaks a 45-yard return to the Hornet 49.

[Mr. C]

Elko evades a sack and throws the ball away on 1st down. 6:48 left.

[Mr. C]

Draw play to Chung is stopped at midfield. 3rd and 9.

[MR. CHICKEN]

TIME TA SUCK CLOCK!

[Mr. C]

Trips left, twins right, empty backfield and MSU calls its final time out. Defensive coordinator Alonzo Lee knows the Bears need a stop right here.

[Mr. C]

Great throw and catch on the deep out from Elko to Tarpley at the 35. 15 yards on the 3rd down conversion.

[Mr. C]

Jackson on the dive to the 31.

[Mr. C]

The right guard makes the tackle on Jackson, his own man for a loss to the 33. 3rd and 7.

[MR. CHICKEN]

SLOW DOWN HORNETS!

[Mr. C]

Incomplete on a play-action sprint pass and its fourth down with 4:18 left.

[Mr. C]

High snap and the punt sails into the end zone. Morgan State will have the ball on the Bear 20 with 4:11 left. Last chance time.

[MR. CHICKEN]

HORNETS...R...HIGH OCTANE........BROKE HUDDLE TOO QUICK.......GIVE BALL TA BRUINS...WHIFF PLENTY TA GO...TSK TSK!

[Mr. C]

Davidson slips down for a loss of one.

[Mr. C]

Christian Johnson from TE goes for a first down at the 31 on his first catch. 12 yards.

[Mr. C]

Tyrone Hendrix breaks tackles to the MSU 42.

[Mr. C]

Nice escape of a sack by Higgins, who races out of bounds at midfield. 2nd and 2.

[Mr. C]

Perfect draw by Davidson for 19 yards and out of bounds to the DSU 31. 2 minutes left.

[MR. CHICKEN]

TIGHTEN UP....HORNETS!!!!!!!

[Mr. C]

Higgins doesn't put enough on a throw and a breakup results on a pass to Flowers.

[MR. CHICKEN]

Perfect draw by Davidson for 19 yards and out of bounds to the DSU 31. 2 minutes left.

STINGERS SHUDDAH...SLOWED IT DOWN!

[Mr. C]

Pressure and Higgins overthrows a receiver. 3rd and 10, 1:39 left from the 31.

[Mr. C]

Three-man rush, throw into double coverage to Church is almost intercepted by Davon Moore.

[MR. CHICKEN]

WHEW!!!!....GREAT BREAK-UP!!

[Mr. C]

4th and 10, heavy pressure from both sides and Higgins tries to run and is stopped at the 26 after a five-yard gain. Sophomore decision that will end this game. 1:26 left and DSU will be in victory formation.

[Mr. C]

Actually, DSU runs for four to the 30. less than a minute left.

[MR. CHICKEN]

IT'S ALL OVERAH...WHERE YA AT DSU ROCKS............YA PULLED IT OFF!

[Mr. C]

Now the Hornets take a knee. Somehow Morgan State comes up with another time out with 34.8 seconds left.

[Mr. C]

I always think of Joe Pisarsik and Larry Csonka in these situations.

[Mr. C]

DSU takes another knee and that should be it.

[Mr. C]

Final

Delaware State 28, Morgan State 23.
