WASHINGTON (AP) — Randy Liggins and backup Jamie Cunningham combined for 211 yards and three touchdowns in Howard’s 30-29 win over Morehouse on Saturday in the season opener for both teams.
Liggins, who was 6-of-10 passing, threw a 50-yard touchdown to Jonathan Booker and a 32-yarder to Brandon Flanagan in the second quarter.
Cunningham entered after Liggins was benched after losing his composure, according to Howard spokesman Edward Hill. The freshman completed 10-of-11 passes for 132 yards and his 13-yard strike to David Wilson gave Howard the lead, 30-29, with 22 seconds remaining.
William Parker and Aquanius Freeman paced the Howard ground game with 64 yards apiece. Freeman’s 2-yard touchdown run gave the Bison a 24-23 advantage late in the fourth quarter.
