HAMPTON, Va. (AP) — JJ Cowan racked up a career-high 142 yards rushing and three touchdowns to lead Campbell to a 38-21 win over Hampton on Saturday.

Cowan added a 63-yard rushing score with under two minutes remaining.

The Pirates (2-5, 0-3) were led by Gracen Goldsmith's two rushing touchdowns, and Maxwell Moss added a touchdown catch on 81 yards receiving.

The Camels racked up five sacks and two interceptions.
