Hampton vs. George Washington Prediction
I’m on GW here. I can’t take too much from one win for Hampton over a subdivision opponent, and this was still one of the worst defensive teams in the country from a year ago. George Washington still has a fair bit of talent brought back and I think this game is going to tell us a lot about where Hampton is at this time around. Give me the Revolutionaries.
