Maroon Tigers Claim Victory in AUC Battle

Box Score Atlanta, Ga.--In the 86th meeting of the Atlanta University Center neighboring schools, the Morehouse Maroon Tigers claimed a 20-7 win over Clark Atlanta University at Panther Stadium Saturday. The Maroon Tigers (4-1, SIAC 2-0) garnered 420 yards on offense with 243 passing yards led by quarterback Monqavious Johnson who finished with 179 yards on 8-of-16 attempts and a one-yard touchdown run early in the second. With a touchdown in each of the subsequent quarters, both by Malik Johnson (22-yards and 4-yards), the Maroon Tigers opened a 20-point margin with 7:21 remaining in the game. Clark Atlanta (1-4, SIAC 0-3) quarterback Trenton Earl completed a 25-yard passing touchdown to Matthew Daniels to put the Panthers on the board at the 5:22 mark, but that would be as close as they would get to the lead. CAU's top rusher Montavious Taylor led the team with 74 yards while Johnson finished with a game-high 104 yards. Defensively, CAU Senior Bre'nard Williams led all players with a game-high 14 tackles including 13 solo tackles and one block followed by Terrence Montgomery who recorded 10 tackles and two pass breakups. As a team, the Panthers finished with 67 tackles compared to 49 for Morehouse. With the next two games at HOME, Clark Atlanta will host College of the Faith Saturday, Oct. 11th, at 2 p.m.
