Ohio starts fast, then holds off Morgan State in 21-6 win

ATHENS, Ohio (AP) — Parker Navarro threw for 162 yards and a touchdown and Ohio beat Morgan State 21-6 on Saturday.

Navarro, who also had three interceptions, threw a 19-yard touchdown pass to Anthony Tyus III for the game’s first score on the Bobcats’ (2-1) opening drive. Morgan State responded with a 30-yard field goal by Beckett Leary.

On Ohio’s next drive, Navarro led a four-play, 81-yard scoring drive that ended with him running from the 10-yard line at the end of the first quarter. The big play of the drive came when Navarro threw a 53-yard completion to Coleman Owen to put the ball on the Morgan State 25-yard line.

Ohio sealed the win when Tyus ran in from the 13-yard line nearly five minutes into the second half. The score capped a nine-play, 74-yard drive.

Tahj Smith threw for 136 yards for Morgan State (1-2) in the first meeting between the two teams.
