Morgan State starts slow, finishes strong in 28-3 win over Bowie State

BALTIMORE, Maryland -- After starting fast but finishing poorly in its first two games, the Morgan State football team flipped the script Saturday.

The Bears overcame a lethargic start, woke up their sleeping offense and scored all four of the game's touchdowns in the second half to knock off visiting Bowie State, 28-3, before an announced 4,238 at Hughes Stadium.

Morgan State was happy to win its first game of the season, but Bears first-year coach Lee Hull said the team can ill afford slow starts.

"Offensively, we made mistakes and had penalties that in the last two games we did not have," Hull said of a game played in wet and chilly conditions. "I don't know if the guys underestimated them, but all week long, I told them that they had to come here with guns blazing and that it was going to be a dogfight if we left them in the game. The good thing is, the second half, we came out, made some adjustments and we ended up scoring. I thought they did a good job of focusing offensively and defensively."
