HAMPTON, Va. (AP) Devin Farrell ran 2 yards for a touchdown and then ran for the mandatory two-point conversion in the second overtime and Rhode Island rallied for a wild 46-44 victory over Hampton on Saturday.

Rhode Island (4-1, 2-0 Coastal Athletic Association) trailed 31-17 when Farrell connected with Marquis Buchanan for a 41-yard touchdown with 5:56 left to play. Farrell directed a 10-play drive, capped by Malik Grant's 2-yard touchdown run with 24 seconds remaining to force overtime.

Farrell opened the first OT with a 12-yard scoring toss to Greg Gaines III. Malcolm Mays answered for Hampton (3-3, 0-2) with a 25-yard touchdown pass to Tyler Hatcher on first down.

Hampton scored on Mays' 8-yard toss to begin the second extra period, but his conversion pass was incomplete, setting the stage for Farrell.

Christopher Eaton Jr. picked up a fumble and ran 16 yards for a touchdown on the final play of the first quarter to give Hampton a 10-3 lead. Deon Silas scored on a 31-yard run to pull Rhode Island even midway through the second quarter, but Mays finished off an 81-yard drive with a 2-yard touchdown run with 1:56 remaining to put the Pirates up 17-10 at halftime.

Mays fired a 57-yard scoring strike to Brennan Ridley with 1:52 left in the third quarter for a 24-10 advantage. The Rams used a 42-yard completion from Farrell to Shawn Harris Jr., a pass interference penalty and a 14-yard touchdown run by Silas to get within seven points 42 seconds later.

Farrell completed 14 of 25 passes for 247 yards with one interception for the Rams. Grant carried 20 times for 180 yards, while Silas added 60 yards on nine rushes.

Mays totaled 253 yards on 24-for-28 passing with four touchdowns for the Pirates. Ridley had eight catches for 121 yards and two scores. Tymere Robinson also had a touchdown catch.
