Maryland Blanks Hampton 62-0 Behind a 94-yard Opener
Three carries, 116 yards, two touchdowns. DeJuan Williams was done making his mark almost before Hampton knew the game had started, and Maryland went on to win 62-0.
Williams broke a 94-yard run with 9:30 left in the first quarter for the first score, then added an 8-yard touchdown run at 4:43. That means the 94-yarder was most of his rushing total, and the other two carries added 22 yards. Sean O'Haire kicked field goals of 26 and 36 yards, Iverson Howard ran in from 11 yards in the second quarter, and Na'eem Abdul-Rahim Gladding caught a 10-yard touchdown pass from Malik Washington with 6 seconds left in the half for a 34-0 lead.
The second half added more of the same. Howard scored again from 8 yards, Harry Dalton III ran in from 9, and Cardell Williams (4 of 5 for 60 yards, plus 49 rushing yards) threw a 16-yard touchdown to Jordan Scott to make it 55-0 entering the fourth. Jianni Davis scored from 5 yards early in the fourth. Maryland ran for 365 yards on 40 carries, more than nine a carry, and threw for 281 for 646 total, with five sacks and no turnovers. The Terrapins ran in six touchdowns on the ground, two each for Williams and Howard plus one apiece for Dalton and Davis, and Chris Durr Jr. had 13.4 points from six catches and a 30-yard run without scoring.
Maryland starts 1-0 and Hampton 0-1. D. Williams led the fantasy scorers with 29.1 points, Howard had 20.2 and Gladding 17.7. Malik Washington had 13.8 at quarterback, and Cardell Williams had 13.3 on just nine touches.
