LAST TIME OUT
Tied at the half, No. 22 Campbell erupted for a 31-point third quarter to top Hampton 44-20 on the road at Darling Stadium. The Camels remained unbeaten against FCS opponents this season, moving to 4-1 overall and 2-0 in CAA play.

The 200th game in the program's history, Campbell and Hampton battled to a 13-13 deadlock at the halftime break, with the Pirates capitalizing on a pair of CU fumbles, turning those two short field possessions into 10 points.

After the break, the Camel offense exploded, scoring on all five of their possessions, including four touchdowns, plus a Kaleb Robison 24-yard field goal. De'Von Thomas scored TDs on back-to-back possessions, one rushing and another receiving, while two takeaways from the Campbell defense, an AJ Benton fumble recovery and a Gavin Harris interception, led to touchdowns to Christian Campbell, the first of the freshman's career, and a 64-yard score to Chinua Ezeigbo, his second of the night.

The 31-point outburst marked the fourth time a Campbell team posted 30 or more points in a single quarter, hitting the mark for the first time since the 2017 season opener (8/31/17 vs. Methodist, 35 points in the first quarter). It was also just the second time scoring 30 or more against an NCAA Division I and conference opponent (11/6/10 vs. Valparaiso, 35 points in the second quarter). The Camels recorded 243 yards of total offense in the third quarter alone, passing for 142 and running for 101.
