PRAIRIE VIEW — Jalen Morton threw for four touchdowns and ran for two more, accounting for 486 yards of offense, and Prairie View A&M rolled past Alabama State 66-13 on Saturday.

Morton had touchdown runs of 32 and 37 yards and threw touchdown passes to four different receivers. He completed 16 of 30 passes for 290 yards and was intercepted once. He rushed for 196 yards on 12 carries.

Dawonya Tucker also ran for two touchdowns and finished with 134 yards on 19 carries. Markcus Hardy led with 95 yards receiving with a touchdown.

“I thought it was a great performance by our kids,” Prairie View coach Eric Dooley said. “They came out and they played hard. A lot of times, you think you don’t have anything to play for. As a team, we have to build momentum. I don’t want to put this season to rest, but we have to build momentum into the next year because this is what we are expected to do.”

The Panthers (4-6, 3-3 Southwestern Athletic Conference) outgained the Hornets 673-280, with Alabama State (3-7, 2-4) turning the ball over three times.
