Quarterback Herbert Bynes' passing yards aren't enough for the Pirates against Southern Illinois.

CARBONDALE, Ill. - Herbert Bynes just ran out of time Saturday night. Hampton's sophomore quarterback threw for a school-record 403 yards and three touchdowns at Southern Illinois, but the Pirates fell 37-31 at McAndrew Stadium. SIU is ranked 12th in the Championship Subdivision. Bynes completed 30 of 47 passes, leading the Pirates to three second-half scores, but he was picked off three times in his third career start.

Hampton (1-1) made it easy for Saluki starter Chris Dieker, who finished his first career start with 216 yards and three scores. Two lost fumbles gave SIU short fields in the opening half, and the Salukis turned the fumbles into a 20-0 lead. Dieker hit Damian Sherman for two touchdowns in the first half and put SIU up nearly three scores with a 27-yard connection to Jeff Evans.
