MOON TOWNSHIP, Pa. – A 38-yard field goal from Nick Bisceglia with five seconds left was the final margin as Robert Morris defeated Hampton 38-35 in Big South Conference football action on Saturday.

The result thwarted a record-setting day from quarterback Jett Duffey who ran for a Big South Conference record five touchdowns.  He also tied the Hampton University single-game rushing touchdown mark set by Alonzo Coleman against Gardner-Webb in 2005.  On the day, he ran for 84 yards on 18 carries, while throwing 14-of-20 for 287 yards.

The Colonials scored on their first possession going 60 yards in seven plays as George Martin connected with D'Andre Hicks on a three-yard scoring pass to lead 7-0 at the 11:19 mark.  After the teams traded holding each other to punts, Hampton went on a 68-yard scoring drive as Duffey scored his first touchdown from five yards out to tie the game with 91 seconds left.

In the second quarter a pair of Bisceglia field goals from 27 and 43 yards sandwiched a pair of Duffey touchdowns from seven and one yard as the Pirates took a 21-13 lead into the locker room at halftime.

Duffey scored his fourth touchdown to start the third quarter as he scored on a 21-yard run weaving his way through several defenders as Hampton pushed the lead to 28-13 with 12:59 left. 

A pair of touchdown runs by the Colonials brought them back to a point trailing 28-27 after an eight-yard scoring run by Anthony Purge to start the fourth quarter.  Duffey broke the record on a four-yard run to cap a 12-play, 82-yard drive with 9:04 left to lead 35-27.  Robert Morris tied the game on a Martin to Alijah Jackson three-yard pass and converted a two-point conversion to even the score with 3:01 left.

Trent Cloud caught three passes for 109 yards, while Jadakis Bonds had four for 67 yards.   Elijah Burris was the next leading rusher with 56 yards, while Ali Shockley topped the defense with a career high 16 tackles including 11 solo.

Hampton returns home to host Gardner-Webb on November 6 at 1 pm.
