Former Monmouth star Josh Derry with the overtime touchdown as UCF knocked off No. 2 BYU last night. So cool to see. Derry had 6 catches for 54 yards and the score in the win and he leads UCF in catches (34), yards (358) and receiving TDs (3) this season

Final Monmouth 49 Hampton 13 Hawks explode for 35 points in the 2nd half and cruise into next week’s big matchup Bryant, which lost some significance after the Bulldogs lost to Stony Brook today. The postseason outlook gets better and better for Monmouth football

And Greg Randall with his first career touchdown to cap this win over Hampton Monmouth extends the lead to 49-14 with 1:53 left in the game

Hawks about to wrap this thing up but a couple of nice throws from Seiss to Treadwell and tight end Burke Mickelsen. Nice running by Greg Randall. I also mentioned the o-line depth earlier this week and it’s been on display on this final drive for Monmouth
