On the surface, Morgan State is a sleeping giant ready to wake up and cause destruction in the MEAC and all of HBCU football.
Morgan State finished the 2023 season with a 4-6 overall record and is looking for its first winning year since 2014.
Entering their third season under head coach Damon Wilson, the Bears’ biggest strength is their defense, led by linebacker Erick Hunter and defensive lineman Elijah Williams.
Last season, they led the MEAC, allowing 21.4 points per game and 308.5 yards of total offense per game. The only thing that has held them back is consistent production from their offense.
In particular, finding consistent play at the quarterback position was a struggle, with four players shuffling throughout the season with varying levels of success.
If Morgan State can solve its problems on the offensive end, it could have the formula for being competitive in the MEAC.
Here are the game-by-game predictions for Morgan State’s 2024 football season.
