BALTIMORE -- — Jermaine Corbett returned the opening kickoff for a 100-yard touchdown and he added a go-ahead score with three minutes left to help Merrimack beat Morgan State 32-24 on Saturday.
Merrimack went up 14-0 after Kendal Sims blocked a punt and Ayden Pereira ran it in for a touchdown with 10:57 left in the second quarter. Lliam Davis extended it 17-0 when he made a career-long 51-yard field goal.
Davis added another field goal from 41-yards out with 58 seconds left before halftime for a 20-3 lead. Then back-to-back sacks from Nick Lenon and Jay Thompson closed out the half.
But Morgan State cut it to 20-17 with 34 seconds left in the third quarter, and later took its first lead of the game after a short touchdown run with 6:38 left in the fourth.
Corbett scored for the second time in the game with 3:05 left, and the 2-point attempt was unsuccessful to keep it at 29-24. Morgan State went four-and-out deep in its own territory and Davis made another field goal from 39 yards for an eight-point lead with 36 seconds left.
