PAWTUCKET – Jim Fleming wasn't interested in capping his team's best drive of the day with a field goal.
A short kick would have meant the lead early in the fourth quarter at Centreville Bank Stadium, but the University of Rhode Island coach felt more was needed. The Rams hadn't come all the way out from their own 2 to settle.
Terrence Campbell smashed up the middle from 1 yard out, a touchdown that served as fuel for No. 8 URI over the final 15 minutes. What was a frustrating, tense start to this Coastal Athletic ***** ociation opener with Elon wound up a relatively comfortable victory.
The Rams forced five turnovers and finally found some offensive rhythm in the second half while posting a 31-10 triumph on brilliant Saturday afternoon, Sept. 12. That's now 16 straight for URI in home games, and this temporary residence while Meade Stadium undergoes its extensive renovation was christened properly.
"You were wondering what the heck was going on in the first half," Fleming said. "As is representative of this group, they continue to go ahead and find ways."

MARLETTE — Both Centreville and Mendon were able to win this past week, earning 1-0 records as they each started the season.
The Mendon Hornets hit the road on Friday night, making the lengthy trip up to the Thumb and coming home with a 46-8 win over the Red Raiders.
"Solid Week 1 performance for us," Mendon coach Bobby Kretschman said. "Played a very clean game offensively and took care of the ball and outside of one long TD run, we played sound defense."
The Hornets scored first in the game, it came during the opening quarter. Zak Iobe found the end zone, this came on a 17-yard scamper to get on the board first.
Iobe would score three more times in the game — a 25-yard run and a 4-yard run in the second quarter plus a 51-yard run in the third quarter. Xavior Zinsmaster scored on a 35-yard TD run late in the contest as well.

The Houston Rockets have had players donning a total of 52 different jersey numbers (and have one not part of any numerical series for Houston ***** istant coach and general manager Carroll Dawson) since their founding at the start of the 1967-68 season, worn by just under 500 players in the course of Rockets history.
To honor all of the players who wore those numbers over the decades, Rockets Wire is covering the entire history of jersey numbers and the players who wore them since the founding of the team all those years ago right up to the present day.
With seven of those jerseys now retired to honor some of the greatest Rockets of all time to wear those jerseys, there is a lot of history to cover.
And for today's article, we will continue with the sixth of 16 who wore the No. 21, forward alum Henry James. After ending his college career at St. Mary's, James went unselected in the 1988 NBA Draft, playing in other leagues until he signed with the Cleveland Cavaliers in 1990.
The Centreville, Alabama native played the first two seasons of his NBA career with Cleveland. He also played for the Sacramento Kings, Utah Jazz, and Los Angeles Clippers at the NBA level before he signed with the Houston Rockets in 1996. His stay with the team lasted until he signed with the Golden State Warriors that fall.
