Morgan State came heartbreakingly close to a statement road win only to watch victory vanish on the game’s final snap.
After trailing early, the Bears rallied with an impressive run: four straight scoring drives, including a dramatic 11-play, 98-yard march capped by Dante Archie’s reverse pass touchdown to Justin Perry late in the third quarter. That score pushed Morgan State ahead, 24-21, and shifted momentum in their favor.
The defense stepped up in crunch time, forcing Georgetown into back-to-back punts, and then stoning the Hoyas on a crucial fourth-and-3 at the 35-yard line with just 32 seconds left.
The Bears, just one stop away from a headline-grabbing road win, saw the game slip through their fingers.
Needing a miracle, Georgetown quarterback Dez Thomas II misfired twice before connecting with Brock Biestek for 16 yards—setting up one last, desperate shot.
Thomas let it fly from midfield and Jimmy Kibble hauled in the prayer for a walk-off Hoya touchdown as time expired, stealing a 27-24 win from Morgan State.
This was a game the Bears controlled for long stretches, executing in high-pressure moments and showing resilience after an early deficit. But in college football, sometimes it only takes one play to turn triumph into heartbreak.
