Wildcats Fall at Morehead State
11/11/2023 4:13:00 PM | Football
The Wildcats, who entered winners of seven straight and undefeated in the PFL, fall to 7-3 overall and 6-1 in league play, while the Eagles improve to 4-6 and 3-4.
After Adam Zouagui put Davidson up 3-0 with a 41-yard field goal late in the opening quarter, Morehead State responded with 26 second-quarter points to take a 26-3 lead with 2:48 left in the first half. During their game-changing stretch, the Eagles picked off two passes.
In all, Morehead State forced six interceptions on the day, turning them into 27 points.
Davidson cut the deficit to 26-10 just before the half when Kellyn West scored his first career touchdown off a six-yard grab from Coulter Cleland.
The Wildcats would add another score midway through the third on a Mari Adams' one-yard run to get within nine, 26-17.
Not long after Davidson got back into the contest, the Eagles closed the quarter with a pair of 25-yard touchdown passes to Ryan Upp, all but putting the game out of reach.
Despite the loss, Adams finished with 122 rushing yards on 15 carries for the 'Cats, who totaled 263 yards on the ground.
Julian Rawlins led Davidson's defense with six tackles, while Darryn Kindles finished with a sack, three tackles for a loss and a forced fumble.
Up Next
The Wildcats will play their final contest inside Richardson Stadium next Saturday when Dayton visits for a 7 p.m. kickoff. Prior to the game, Davidson will recognize its 2023 senior class.
