Hampton Pirates (5-6)


Burris runs for 4 touchdowns, leads Hampton in comeback win over Maine 42-35

ORONO, Maine (AP) Elijah Burris ran for four touchdowns and his two fourth-quarter scores completed a 14-point comeback in Hampton's 42-35 win over Maine on Saturday.

Derek Robertson threw four of his five touchdown passes in the first-half to give the Black Bears a 28-14 lead at intermission and his fifth TD pass answered an 80-yard touchdown run to open the second half and restore the two-touchdown margin.

Christopher Zellous hit Romon Copeland with a 40-yard touchdown pass to pull the Pirates within a touchdown with a minute left in the third quarter. Burris capped a seven-play, 80-yard drive in the third quarter with a 7-yard touchdown to tie the game at 35-35 and scored the game-winner to cap an eight-play, 38-yard drive with 1:48 left to play.
