It’s pretty simple. After making the playoffs last year for the first time in three decades, No. 9 Rhode Island has a chance to make it back-to-back years on Saturday. If the Rams (9-2, 7-0 CAA) can take care of business against 2-9 Hampton, they would clinch conference title outright and the automatic berth into the FCS 24-team bracket. There’s a good chance the Rams would still get an at-large…

Big plays were the theme for the Wildcats on Saturday, something that has been elusive at times this season. New Hampshire opened the scoring with a 35 yard touchdown pass from sophomore quarterback Matt Vezza to wide receiver Casey McKinney. The Wildcats would add to their lead on their next possession when Vezza would find tight end Peyton Strickland in the right flat for a 5 yard touchdown pass to make it 14-0.
