Towson Piles up 591 Yards and Routs Winless Hampton
Kemarrion Battles carried the ball four times. He gained 99 yards and scored twice, and the last of those was a 91-yard run at 14:47 of the fourth quarter. By then Towson had been ahead for the whole game and the question was how big the number would get. It got to 44-13.
The Tigers scored first on a 33-yard Max Young field goal at 8:57 of the first quarter, then Tristen Kenan ran in from a yard out to make it 10-0. Jacob Davis threw a 4-yard touchdown to Jacob Zollar and a 43-yarder to Mason Cunningham in the second quarter (Young missed that extra point, the only blemish), and Davis added a 16-yard run with 0:07 left in the half. That was 30-6 at the break. Hampton had cut it to 23-6 on a 72-yard pass from Sejhe Jackson to Isaiah Smith with 1:48 left in the half, though a blocked extra point cost it a point there.
In the third quarter Xavier Brookins threw a 25-yard touchdown to Damon Short and Brett Starling's kick made it 30-13, but Battles answered with a 2-yard run at 6:28, and then came the 91-yarder. Towson never trailed and it was never tied.
The yardage was 591 for Towson (257 passing, 334 rushing) and 283 for Hampton, which rushed 22 times for 48 yards. Towson threw no interceptions and lost no fumbles. The win moves Towson to 1-6 and drops Hampton to 0-7.
Davis scored 37.5 Promethium points, his best game of the year and 18 points above his average over the previous three. If you had him, you know.
