In a matchup of first versus last in the CAA, Rhode Island rolled up 359 yards in the first half and led 24-7 at halftime. The Rams got a 65-yard touchdown run from Littleton on their second play from scrimmage, a 28-yard TD run by Brendon Barrow and Littleton ran 6 yards for a touchdown, all in the first quarter.
