One of the greatest running backs in Carolina history, Hampton was at his best Saturday night. He had 40 touches - 35 rushing and 5 receiving - setting a new career-high in that category. He also set a new high with those 35 carries and 244 yards rushing.
His 260 total yards came one game after amassing 265 in a win at Florida State.
Hampton passed Don McCauley and Kelvin Bryant on Carolina's all-time rushing list and now has 3,227 yards for his career. Plus, he now has run for 100-plus yards in a school-record eight consecutive games.
And his 40th touch and 35th run of the night may have been the most impressive of his career given the circumstances: He jumped over the players at the line of scrimmage and then carried a few Deacons four more yards into the end zone for what turned out to be the game's decisive points.
