When Hampton University football coach Joe Taylor looks at film of the Pirates' 24-17 loss to Delaware State on Saturday, he'll have a lot to consider. Poor offensive line play, an ineffective rushing attack and a lackluster run defense contributed to the Pirates' first Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference home defeat in almost four years.
But a pass coverage breakdown and an abundance of penalties bothered Taylor most. The breakdown came on Shaheer McBride's 50-yard reception over the middle early in the fourth quarter...
