DAYTON, Ohio (AP) — Carter Cravens threw for 284 yards and two touchdowns, with nine completions and 212 yards going to Nate Garnett, and Morehead State beat Dayton 14-6 on Saturday for its first road victory in the series since 2008.
Morehead State (5-3, 3-1 Pioneer Football League) improved to 4-10 against the Flyers in Dayton.
