Jones rushes for 115, Delaware State defeats Morgan State 14-12

BALTIMORE -- , James Jones ran for 115 yards and one touchdown on 13 carries as Delaware State weathered a Morgan State comeback attempt to win 14-12 on Friday night. Jones scored less than a minute into the first quarter on a 68-yard rush that gave the Hornets (7-3, 3-0 MEAC) a 7-0 lead. Jones came close to another six seconds into the second quarter, but fumbled at the goal-line. The ball was recovered by freshman offensive lineman Amori Francis for his first career touchdown. Randall Nauden , who ran for 104 total yards on just seven carries, had a 67-yard rushing score for the Bears (3-7, 0-3) to get his team within two points early in the fourth quarter, but the two-point attempt was no good. After connecting on 19- and 37-yard field goals in the game, Alex Amaya 's attempt from 45 yards as time expired sailed wide to leave the comeback effort just short.
