Less than two and a half minutes into the 1st quarter the Pirates scored and took the lead 7-0. The Bulldogs answered with Bishop Ford running in a 1-yard touchdown to even up the score 7-7. However, the pirates didn't let the first quarter end without making their presence known and came back with another TD to secure the lead yet again. The Bulldogs obviously hadn't traveled all this way to take defeat, in the second quarter Kanome Mckintosh scored with a 23 yard reception and Bishop Ford with a 13 yard reception to take the lead, unfortunately Tyler Scandrett failed the PAT following Bishop Ford's TD, leaving the lead at 20-14.In the 3rd and 4th quarter the Pirates and seeded with two touchdowns and successful PATs. At that point, they had taken the lead 28-20 over the Bulldogs. In the 3rd quarter Tyler Scandrett missed a 26 yard field goal, blowing any chances of catching up to the Pirates on his part. The Bulldogs tried to pull it out with only two minutes left in the 4th quarter, Dondre Brown ran it in for a successful TD attempt and the two point conversion failed. Securing the win for the Hampton Pirates. Leaving everyone confused and SPEECHLESS!
Week 9 of college football was full of upsets! And this weeks matchup between SC State and Hampton University was no different. I believe that it's safe to say that the mindset of the SC State Bulldogs was that this was going to be a typically easy matchup, because during the tenure of the current members on the team, Hampton has never gave them any trouble or any reason to have doubts. I believe I have numerous people who can agree when I say "I didn't see it coming"
