Hampton hit Cam Thompson for an 11-yard TD to open the scoring in the second period. Trayvon Rudolph broke for a 60-yard scoring run and Hampton followed with an 11-yard TD toss to Keyshaun Pipkin. Hampton hit Rudolph for a 43-yard score to in the final minute.

Hampton opened the second half with a 60-yard scoring strike to Grayson Barnes. Jaylen Poe scored on a 7-yard run late in the third, but Mayo Bola blocked Kanon Woodill's kick and Fredrik Greenhoward scooped up the loose ball and scored for a defensive PAT.

Nathan Lamp got Western Illinois in the end zone with a 27-yard pass to Torrance Farmer Jr. with three minutes left in the game.

Hampton completed 18 of his 20 pass attempts for 328 yards. Brown carried eight times for 69 yards as the ground game amassed 312 yards on 41 carries.

Lamp completed 17 of 29 passes for 204 yards, while the Leathernecks ground game was held to 94 yards on 29 carries.
