Campbell (1-0) opened the season with a 41-20 Thursday night home win over Pikeville. Junior running back De'Shawn Jones ran for a school record 189 yards and Kameron Bryant threw two touchdown passes and ran for another score to lead the Camels.
Jones' night included a 60-yard TD run and a 50-yard scamper to set a new school Division I era (since 2008) single-game record. He broke the previous mark of 170 set by Jordan Cramer in 2011 and matched by Kurt Odom one year later. Jones averaged 12.6 yards per run on 15 attempts.
In his first start at quarterback for the Camels, Bryant totaled 205 yards of total offense – 138 through the air and 67 on the ground. The transfer from Appalachian State completed 12-of-19 passes and gained 6.1 yards per attempt on 11 carries.
Campbell improved to 3-5 in season-opening games (4-4 in home openers) since the program's rebirth in 2008.
Ugonna Awuruonye led the CU defense with seven tackles, while Daniel Bostick and Jake Barr added six apiece.
Chowan (1-0), a NCAA Division II and Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association member from Murfreesboro, N.C., also began 2015 with a win, defeating Fayetteville State 41-31 on the road.
The Hawks forced four FSU turnovers in the win, despite being outgained 414-331 in total offense. Randall Dixon was 27-for-33 for 249 passing yards with four touchdown passes and an interception in the win. Kaine Lombard hauled in seven passes for 71 yards and two scores, while Tyree Lee totaled 91 yards with a TD on nine carries.
Cornell Duncan tallied eight tackles, including 2.0 for loss, while Vincente' Stafford added seven stops with an interception.
Next up for the Camels will be their first trip away from Buies Creek, heading to Presbyterian on Sept. 19 for a 7 p.m. kickoff. The contest will be CU's final nonconference outing before starting Pioneer Football League play at Butler on Sept. 26.
