Maine entered with the CAA's second-ranked pass defense, though the secondary couldn't compensate for the Pride's special teams and defensive pressure. He can move the pile, and that's what makes him a complete player.' 'He makes the pretty plays, but also has the ability to make those ugly internal runs. 'The thing that's different for Kareem from other good players is that Kareem is physical enough to get some ugly yardage as well,' said coach Dave Cohen about Huggins, who recorded a 58-yard rushing touchdown against Stony Brook the week prior. Hofstra harassed red-shirt freshman quarterback Adam Farkes, holding him to 21-40 passing to improve to 5-0 overall and 2-0 in the Colonial Athletic Association.

They'll be three guys running at him and he'll cut two yards to the right and cut back to the left and still be able to go full speed. Sometimes when I hand the ball off to him, I don't understand how he can cut like that. 'To be honest with you, the kid's a freak,' Savage said. He also was credited with 248 all-purpose yards, giving him over 500 the past two contests. Huggins continued to take pressure of quarterback Bryan Savage, tallying his third consecutive 100-yard rushing game, finishing with 148 yards on 18 carries. His dynamic cut-back was simply a precursor to a 71-yard run from scrimmage in the fourth quarter, single-handedly supporting a strong defensive effort from the Pride in a 38-13 victory over Maine on Saturday afternoon.

Huggins spun and raced down the sideline before shifting towards the hash marks, racing unimpeded the rest of the way for a 92-yard touchdown return late in the first half. But the senior running back and kick returner kept moving his legs, employing a juke move that allowed enough time for his blocker to create a hole. Kareem Huggins nearly ran into a wall of four Maine defenders his traction seemingly halted in Hofstra territory.
