Hampton ground game runs over Florida A&M 25-0

Provided by Written on November 14, 2009

HAMPTON, Va.(AP) — Steve Robinson carried 17 times for 150 yards
and two touchdowns and Hampton rolled up 341 rushing yards in a
25-0 victory over Florida A&M on Saturday.

The win by the Pirates (5-5, 3-4 Mid-Eastern Athletic
Conference), coupled with South Carolina State’s 37-13 win over
Morgan State, knocked the Rattlers (7-3, 5-2) out of the
conference race.

It was the first shutout of Florida A&M since a 62-0 rout by
Virginia Tech in 2004, and its first conference shutout since a
25-0 loss to Bethune-Cookman in 1988.

Injuries made the Rattlers’ defeat more painful. Senior
quarterback Curtis Pulley left in the first half after
reaggravating a groin injury and backup Eddie Battle injured his
shoulder late in the game. All three starting receivers – Kevin
Elliott, Adrian Smith and Isaac West – also were hurt.

With their offense decimated, the Rattlers were held to 184
yards.
