Morgan had a chance to make it a one-touchdown game with about seven minutes remaining in the fourth quarter. But Hurricane's Tyler Ewell intercepted the ball at the Tigers' 1-yard line.
Being picky
Statistically, the game was close. Hurricane had 17 first downs compared with Morgan's 18. The Tigers had 310 total yards of offense, just 32 more than the Trojans. The difference was in turnovers. Hurricane intercepted Morgan four times.
