Morgan State def. Norfolk State – 38-37 OT
BALTIMORE, Md. (Nov. 2, 2024) - The Morgan State defense and special teams unit overcame early issues with the offense and fought back from an early three touchdown deficit to overwhelm Norfolk State 38-37 in overtime to win their first MEAC game of the season.
Coming into this game, Morgan State was looking to snap a two-game skid and put themselves into the MEAC Championship race.
The Bears got into some trouble early. Three plays into the game, MSU quarterback Duce Taylor fumbled on a run up the middle. That turnover led to a 45-yard field goal by Brandon Willcox, giving the Spartans an early 3-0 lead with 11:32 left in the quarter.
