BALTIMORE (AP) — In a story Oct. 26 about the Florida A&M-Morgan State football game, The Associated Press reported erroneously that the teams are in the Big South Conference. They are in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference.
A corrected version of the story is below:
Florida A&M defeats Morgan State 24-12
Terry Jefferson returned a fumble for a touchdown and Florida A&M scored all its points in the first half to defeat Morgan State 24-12
BALTIMORE (AP) — Terry Jefferson returned a fumble for a touchdown and Florida A&M scored all its points in the first half to beat Morgan State 24-12 on Saturday.
With Florida A&M (7-1, 5-0 Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference) leading 10-7 in the second quarter, the Rattlers' Eric Smith forced a fumble at midfield and Jefferson returned it 50 yards for a touchdown and a 17-7 lead. In the final minute of the half, Terrell Jennings caught a 21-yard touchdown pass from Rasean McKay for a 24-10 halftime lead.
McKay completed 25 of 35 passes for 246 yards with a touchdown and an interception.
DeAndre Harris completed a 27-yard touchdown pass to E'Munn Parker, giving Morgan State (1-7, 1-4) an early 7-0 lead. It would be the Bears' only touchdown of the game.
FAMU's Davonne Kendrick tied it at 7 with a 3-yard touchdown run later in the first quarter.
Morgan State's Manasseh Bailey blocked a punt for a safety early in the fourth quarter, the only points of the second half.
