(AP) --- Daylin Lee threw two touchdown passes, wide receiver Jaden Jones threw one on a trick play, and Tennessee State defeated Morgan State 25-16 on Saturday to celebrate the Tigers' homecoming. Tennessee State allowed 301 yards to the No. 24 team in the Stats Perform Top 25, but the key was holding Morgan State to 2 of 11 on third down attempts and 1 of 3 on fourth down. The Tigers (2-5) scored first on Jones' 50-yard touchdown pass to Cam Bulluck and went on to lead 15-10 at halftime after Lee's 19-yard TD pass to Brock Montgomery late in the second quarter. Joseph Towler caught a 30-yard touchdown pass from Cameron Edge to give the Bears (5-2) their last lead at 16-15. Tennessee State put the game away with Preston Hurless' 27-yard field goal at the end of an 18-play drive and Lee's 11-yard touchdown toss to Francisco Pratts III. Lee threw for 220 yards and led the Tigers with 63 yards rushing. Bulluck caught six passes for 106 yards. Edge had 162 yards passing and threw two interceptions. Keith Jenkins Jr. ran for 113 yards, including a 28-yard touchdown. The loss ended Morgan State's five-game win streak which had been the Bears' longest run since winning six in a row in 1979. The Bears had won five of the last seven meetings with Tennessee State since 2012, including each of the last three matchups in 2018, 2019 and 2026.
