When: 1 p.m. Site: Hughes Stadium Video: SPORTSfeve­r Television Network Radio: WEAA 88.9 FM Series: Morgan State leads, 35-27 What’s at stake: Morgan State is dealing with its second three-game losing skid of the season after falling short of completing a fourth-quarter rally in a 30-28 loss to Bethune-Cookman on Saturday. The Bears will try to avoid a four-game losing streak for the third year in a row against a Delaware State team that has won two consecutiv­e games after opening the season with seven straight losses. The Hornets have not strung together three consecutiv­e victories since the 2012 squad won four straight. History might be on Morgan State’s side though as the Bears have won eight of the past 10 meetings, including seven in a row. Key matchup: Delaware State ranks second in the MEAC in rushing at 188.4 yards per game despite not really boasting a standout performer. Senior running back Brycen Alleyne leads the offense with 487 yards and three touchdowns and is one of six players who have crossed the 100-yard mark for the season. Morgan State gave up 208 yards and three scores on runs of 65, 61 and 60 yards to Bethune-Cookman senior wide receiver Jimmie Robinson on Saturday. Player to watch: Delaware State junior defensive back Jahad Neibauer was named the MEAC’s Co-Defensive Player of the Week after finishing with five tackles, one intercepti­on and one sack for a safety in Saturday’s 25-6 victory over Savannah State. And sophomore linebacker Brian Cavicante leads the conference with 8.6 tackles per game. — Edward Lee
