HAMPTON, Virginia — Last week, Hampton University played its most complete game of the season in a 33-0 blowout of Florida A&M.
The Pirates' running game piled up 266 yards, the most in Connell Maynor's 22 games as head coach. The defense pitched a shutout and held the Rattlers to 168 yards, the fewest HU has allowed since 2011.
Which is all good. And bad.
"It's good because it was our most complete game," Maynor said Wednesday. "It's bad because it was the second-to-last game of the season. We need to be clicking on all cylinders a little quicker. But it's better late than never."
With the win, which broke a two-game losing streak, HU improved to 5-5 overall, 4-3 in the MEAC. By beating Savannah State on Saturday, the Pirates can clinch their first winning season since 2011. That became the goal for Hampton after the MEAC title and playoff spot slipped away.
