History was made in Saturday's South Carolina State home football game against Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference rival Florida A&M, but it wasn't the history most Bulldog fans expected.
Instead of a win by the home team keeping SC State unbeaten in the MEAC and giving Buddy Pough the all-time wins record coaching the Bulldogs, it was the Rattlers passing for 427 yards and totaling 505 yards of offense in a 42-38 road win.
SC State had the ball for a final drive in the final minute of play, but couldn't convert a first down late to keep the drive moving.

POSTED 8:23 PM, OCTOBER 12, 2019, BY MEGAN PLAIN
WASHINGTON, D.C. (NSUSpartans.com) – Quarterback Juwan Carter accounted for 433 yards of total offense and six touchdowns as Norfolk State snapped a four-game losing streak with a 49-21 win over Howard on Saturday at Greene Stadium.
Carter passed for 377 yards and four scores, tying a career high, and also ran for 56 yards and two more touchdowns. Junior wideouts Justin Smith (133) and Tylan McElhenie (109) both posted career highs in receiving yards, with Smith scoring twice and McElhenie once for NSU (2-5, 1-2). It was all part of a 648-yard day for the Spartans, their most since a 659-yard day against Bethune-Cookman in 2005.
The Spartans defense helped NSU pull away from a 28-21 halftime advantage by shutting out the Bison (1-6, 1-2) in the second half. The Spartans intercepted two passes and notched a season-high five sacks.

In just its second home game this season, North Carolina Central didn’t put on the Thursday prime time show they hoped for.
The Eagles struggled to score touchdowns early in the season, and the offense went missing in action in the red zone once again as Bethune-Cookman defeated NCCU, 27-13, Thursday night at O-Kelly-Riddick Stadium. N.C. Central outgained the Wildcats 391-243, had more rushing yards (141-150) and two sacks, but couldn’t get the advantage where it mattered most.
“We didn’t win in one statistic,” Eagles’ coach Trei Oliver said. “Score.”

Morgan State - 34 Delaware State - 3
Morgan State Smashes Hornets on Homecoming
BALTIMORE, Md.(Oct. 12, 2019) -- The Morgan State Bears came into Hughes Stadium looking for win number one of the season. They made an immeasurable impact on every side of the ball. It showed in Morgan State's 34-3 demolition of the Delaware State Hornets this afternoon.
"It's been five to six hard weeks coming," said Morgan State head coach Tyrone Wheatley after his first win as coach. "We finally put it together. You have to be proud of the guys for the work that they put in. Our guys stayed true to themselves and the system and came out schematically okay."
The Bears started immediately on their first drive when senior running back Joshua Chase rumbled 33-yards into the end zone for the opening score of the game. Nicholas O'Shea kicked home the extra point to give the Bears a 7-0 lead with 12:23 left in the first quarter.
