| COURTESY HAMPTON UNIVERSITY ATHLETICS |
HAMPTON, Virginia -- In a game that started under a steady downpour, Hampton University celebrated Senior Day in strong fashion, shutting out Florida A&M 33-0.
The Pirates evened their season record at .500 (5-5) and are 4-3 in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference.
Hampton had an early opportunity to score as Chaka Diarrassouba blocked a FAMU punt from deep in Rattlers territory. The ball rolled upfield, but the Pirates were able to start from the Rattlers’ 33. However, Hampton failed to capitalize, and after a fourth-down pass from quarterback David Watford sailed past its target, FAMU took over.
Hampton was more successful on its next drive, which went 32 yards on 10 plays, and culminated with a 39-yard field goal by Adam Brown. The Pirates saved themselves on the drive when Watford, facing third-and-17 from the Rattlers’ 45, dumped a screen pass to Dwayne Garrett, who scooted 18 yards for the first down to keep the drive alive.
