COLUMBIA (WACH) – Bowie State bolted to a 28-0 first-half lead and cruised to a 28-14 victory over Benedict College in a nationally-televised NCAA Division II football game on Thursday night at Charlie W. Johnson Stadium.
The Bulldogs gained 431 yards of total offense, with 321 yards on the ground. Two Bowie State running backs, Keith Brown and Corwin Acker, eclipsed the 100-yard rushing mark.
The Tigers, on the other hand, gained 120 yards of total offense for the game. The offense failed to score, with linebacker DeMonta' Searcy capitalizing on two fumble recoveries for Benedict's only touchdowns.
The Benedict coaches continue to search for a quarterback who can consistently move the offense. Christopher Thomas started and was 4-of-6 for 12 yards. Marcus Graham was 7-of-13 for 28 yards and Teddy Joseph saw playing time in the fourth quarter and was 3-for-4 for 32 yards. The three quarterbacks combined to throw for 72 yards.
On the ground, Benedict rushed 25 times for 31 yards.
The Tigers (0-2) will look for their first win of the season when they face Virginia State in the Palmetto Capital City Classic at Charlie W. Johnson Stadium on September 15. Kickoff is 4 p.m.
