HAMPTON, VA - Hampton's first points came with 6:17 left in the third quarter. That was just the beginning. Carlo Turavani's 19-yard field goal was the first of three Pirate scores in as many minutes as Hampton roared back from a scoreless first half to beat Howard 38-27 on Saturday. The victory was Hampton's 12th straight against the Bison and 12th straight in a Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference opener.

The stoppage seemed to spark a Pirates offense that managed just 157 yards in the first half as the Bison led 7-0 from the 5:32 mark of the first quarter. "It all started with Carlo," said sophomore quarterback Herb Bynes, who was 15-of-27 for 253 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions. "He gave us that field goal when we were down."
