FOOTBALL BUILDING MOMENTUM

An 88-yard touchdown pass from ROBERT FOOTMAN JR. to MEKHI ALEXANDER and 263 rushing yards gave Millersville its first win of the season in week five, but it was a winning formula that would lead Millersville to five wins over the final seven weeks of the season, its most wins since 2006 and its best PSAC East finish since 2000. During that stretch, Millersville beat Shippensburg for the first time in 22 years and beat Bloomsburg for the first time since 1999.

Millersville somehow managed to string together the five wins despite using three different starting quarterbacks.

“I think the momentum into the offseason is big for us,” said head coach J.C. Morgan after the season finale win at Seton Hill. “It puts us in line with our mission to getting Millersville football back to where we want it to be, at the top of the conference. I told them in the locker room to enjoy these next few hours because there will be some guys who won’t be with us again, and it won’t be the same. But when you analyze what has taken place over the last several weeks, I think we’ll look back and say it was the st art of something special with Millersville football.” 
