DOVER, DE -- Behind one of the best individual efforts of the year, Hampton improved its Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference record to 3-0 by defeating Delaware State 17-14 Saturday. Hampton wide receiver Justin Brown made the biggest play of the game with a touchdown on fourth down with 3:30 left in the game. After making the reception, he managed to bull his way from the 10-yard line into the end zone against several Hornets defenders for 30-yard game-winning touchdown.
"From the beginning of the game, we knew we were going to be able to exploit their secondary by just watching film," said Brown, who had 106 yards on seven receptions. "We didn't play our best game, but we came out here and got a win, so that's all that matters." After the touchdown, the Pirates (4-1, 3-0) went for a two-point conversion to increase the lead to three. They lined up in Statue-of-Liberty formation.
