HAMPTON, Virginia -- It was his first big moment in the program, but Oral Varcciann was ribbed about it. With Howard driving against Hampton University three weeks ago, Varcciann scooped up a fumble and took off. But after 16 yards, he was knocked out of bounds … by the Bison’s quarterback.
Nobody touched him this time. With Delaware State in the red zone and 10 minutes remaining in a two-possession game, Varcciann returned a fumble 83 yards for the clinching touchdown in HU’s 21-7 win Saturday at Armstrong Stadium.
It came immediately after the Hornets’ 72-yard interception return had set them up at the Pirates’ 10-yard line. But on first down, DSU quarterback Kobe Lain bounced a pitchout on the option. Varcciann picked the ball up in stride and was gone.
Instead of 14-7, it was 21-0.
