College football
GREENSBORO — Tarik Cohen ran for 256 yards and three second-half touchdowns, including a career-long 94-yarder late in the fourth quarter, and North Carolina A&T beat Hampton 31-9 on Thursday night.
Cohen passed Stoney Polite (1984-87) on his first touchdown run to set the Aggies’ record with 42nd career rushing TDs — a 15-yard run that give the Aggies a 17-3 lead late in the third quarter. He added a 30-yard score that made it a 21-point lead early in the fourth.
The Aggies (3-1, 1-0 Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference) were on their 6 with a 24-3 lead late in the fourth quarter when Cohen turned a dive run to the outside and outraced the Hampton (1-3, 1-1) defenders along the left sideline.
Jaylian Williamson was 32 of 54 for 387 yards and a 59-yard scoring toss to Shakim Alonzo late in the fourth quarter for the Pirates. Rashawn Proctor added 188 yards receiving.

HOUSTON — Greg Ward Jr. threw for a career-high 389 yards and accounted for five touchdowns in just more than three quarters to help sixth-ranked Houston beat Connecticut 42-14 on Thursday night.
The victory was a bit of redemption for the Cougars, whose only blemish last season came in a 20-17 loss to the Huskies when they were 10-0.
“We never use the word revenge,” coach Tom Herman said. “The word we used was atonement — to make a wrong a right. We had a chance to atone for the transgressions of last year’s team.”
Ward didn’t start that game because of an ankle injury, and there was a scary moment early in the second quarter when he took a hard hit in the midsection by Junior Joseph on a flea-flicker and had to leave the game.
But he missed just one play before returning and showed no ill effects from the blow, leading the Cougars (5-0, 2-0 American) on three more touchdown drives in the half to leave Houston up 28-7 at halftime.
