Running back Philip Sylvester sat quietly during the post-game press conference, answering just a handful of questions. His three other teammates who faced the media got a lot more on Saturday afternoon. Quite a contrast to his day on the field. Sylvester played a pivotal role in a trick play, threw some timely blocks and scored two touchdowns. His last touchdown would be FAMU's final score in a 45-24 victory over Hampton.

It's been a while since he's had such a day, especially getting into the end zone twice. He scored his first touchdown on a 38-yard run that gave FAMU a commanding 28-10 lead in the third quarter. In the fourth quarter, he capped a six-play, 30-yard drive for the final score and for the first time since September, he'd go home with two touchdowns. If he could have gotten more chances, he would have taken them. "We just want to score," he said. "We want to score 31 more points than the other offense. Every time I broke it was because of (the offensive line)."
