Elon returns to Rhodes Stadium on Nov. 7 looking to snap a four-game losing streak against Hampton. The Phoenix (4-5, 2-3 CAA) faces a 1-8 Pirates team at 2 p.m. after consecutive conference losses, with freshman running back Kamerin McDowell-Moore and Elon's home-field defense among the key storylines.

By the Numbers
  • Elon leads the series 3-1 and has won both meetings at Rhodes Stadium.
  • McDowell-Moore has rushed for 1,182 yards and eight touchdowns, averaging 131.3 yards per game.
  • Elon has allowed 15.6 points per game across its last five home games.
Yes, But

Elon has struggled recently, but Hampton arrives with a 1-8 record and is winless in CAA play. The Phoenix has also won its last two meetings with the Pirates, including a 41-20 victory at Rhodes Stadium in 2025.

What's Next

A win would give Elon a winning home record for 2026. Kickoff is scheduled for 2 p.m. Saturday at Rhodes Stadium, with coverage on FloCollege and My48.

Bottom Line

Elon has a favorable home matchup and a standout freshman runner, but ending its skid requires turning those advantages into a complete performance.
