HAMPTON, Va. (AP) — Frankie Weaver threw three touchdown passes and four different backs ran for scores as Monmouth overwhelmed Hampton 49-13 on Saturday.
Kenny Smith Jr., opened the scoring with an 11-yard touchdown reception to cap an 18-play, 99-yard drive. His 70-yard run early in the fourth quarter made it 42-7. He finished with 164 yards on 19 carries.
Hampton quickly responded with Donovan Shepherd rushing three times for 78 yards before Xavier Brookins scored on a quarterback sneak.
The Hawks (6-2, 5-0 Coastal Athletic Association), ranked 19th in the Stats Perform poll, punted on their next possession but then reached the end zone on their final six.
Weaver was 24-of-32 passing for 234 yards. The Hawks had 565 yards and held Hampton to 249.
Brookins had a touchdown run and pass for the Pirates (1-7, 0-4). His 1-yard run tied the game at 7 midway through the fourth quarter and he tossed a 13-yard scoring pass to TK Paisant midway through the fourth.
