Homecoming Breakthrough: Morehouse 31, Lane 7 — First Since 2019; Streak at Three

ATLANTA, GA | Morehouse made homecoming history on Saturday at B.T. Harvey Stadium, throttling Lane 31–7 behind another prolific afternoon from quarterback Miles Scott (21-for-32, 313 yards, 3 TD) and a swarming defense that allowed just 56 passing yards and snagged two interceptions. The win is the Maroon Tigers' first on homecoming since 2019, completes their first three-game winning streak since 2021, and sets up a run at their first four-game streak since 2011.
