BALTIMORE (Interstat) — Howard will visit Morgan State on Saturday for an NCAA Football Championship Division game at Hughes Stadium (MD), with the Bison looking to build on their most recent win and the Bears trying to bounce back from a road loss.

Howard enters at 3-4. The Bison defeated Morehouse 31-17 in their most recent game. Morgan State is 5-2 after a 25-16 loss at Tennessee State in its most recent outing. The Bears had won two straight before that defeat, including a 28-27 victory over Robert Morris and a 38-35 win at Villanova.

Ja’Shawn Scroggins is a player to watch for Howard. In the Bison’s loss to Penn, Scroggins completed 13 of 33 passes for 140 yards and one touchdown and ran 12 times for 20 yards and another score. In a win over Hampton, he completed 23 of 34 passes for 267 yards and a touchdown and added 16 carries for 64 yards. Howard will need Scroggins to help sustain drives against a Morgan State defense that has had mixed results this season.

Cameron Edge is a player to watch for Morgan State. In the Bears’ loss to Tennessee State, Edge completed 16 of 30 passes for 162 yards and a touchdown and ran seven times for 11 yards. In a win at Villanova, he completed 31 of 40 passes for 444 yards and three touchdowns and ran six times for 14 yards and two scores. Edge’s ability to move the Bears through the air and on the ground will be central to Morgan State’s attack.

Morgan State will be the home team at Hughes Stadium (MD), where the Bears will try to protect their record. Howard will be the visiting team and will seek a second straight win after the victory over Morehouse. Both teams will aim to control the line of scrimmage and limit turnovers in a matchup that features contrasting recent results. The Bison have shown enough offense to challenge the Bears. Special teams and field position will also be factors at Hughes Stadium.

Howard’s other results this season include losses to Rutgers, Indiana, Richmond and Penn, along with wins over Alabama A&M and Hampton. Morgan State has beaten North Carolina A&T, Virginia Lynchburg, Towson, Villanova and Robert Morris, while falling to Arizona State and Tennessee State. The Bears’ wins include a 55-0 victory over Virginia Lynchburg and a 41-26 win at Towson. Howard’s victory over Morehouse followed a 24-20 loss at Penn.
