Cameron Edge Accounts for Five Touchdowns as Morgan State Wins 38-35
Cameron Edge was responsible for all five Morgan State touchdowns. Three were passes, two were runs, and the last was a 2-yard run with 0:36 left that gave Morgan State a 38-35 win at Villanova.
Villanova also scored five touchdowns, every one of them on the ground: Isaiah Ragland ran for three (2, 13 and 22 yards) and Ja'briel Mace for two (1 and 52). That is a lot of rushing scores for a team that lost. Morgan State went the other way. Edge was 31 of 40 for 444 yards, and the team ran only 21 times for 77 yards.
It was 7-7 after Ragland's first touchdown and Morgan State led from there until the fourth quarter, up 24-14 at halftime and 24-21 after three. Then the fourth quarter started like a pinball machine. Ragland ran 22 yards at 14:12 to make it 28-24. Edge threw 64 yards to Joseph Towler 45 seconds later for 31-28. Mace answered with a 52-yard run at 11:52 for 35-31, and then nobody scored for 11 minutes, until Edge got in from 2 yards. The game had four lead changes.
Morgan State had 521 total yards to Villanova's 458, and each team threw one interception. Morgan State is 3-0 and Villanova drops to 2-3.
For fantasy, this was Edge's day first (49.2 points, a season high), then the two Villanova backs, Ragland at 32.8 and Mace at 29. Three running back touchdowns in one game from Ragland is the kind of thing that wins weeks.
