Hampton U. makes defensive strides as difficult opener versus ODU looms

HAMPTON, Virginia  -- Progress is evident though not as rapid as he would like, Connell Maynor said, as Hampton University's football team approaches the midpoint of preseason camp.

The Pirates' new head coach likes the energy and effort from his players so far as the staff installs new schemes on offense and defense.

"We've got to start making more plays and making less mistakes and get it cleaned up," Maynor said. "If you make mistakes, don't come back and make the same mistake the next day. If you make another mistake, we can correct it. Now, it ain't OK if you're making a different mistake every day, but if you do, we can get it corrected. Just don't make the same mistake."

Among Hampton's priorities in the final two-plus weeks before the opener at Old Dominion are identifying a starting quarterback and developing depth among the front seven on defense.
