De’Quan Hampton saw “the opportunity to dog somebody” when the 6-foot-3 tight end from USC was matched up on a 5-foot-11 DB for the Tampa Bay Vipers.
Josh Johnson took advantage of the matchup for the LA Wildcats and found Hampton, who leaped over … for a touchdown to bring the Wildcats back into their home game against the Vipers Sunday in California.
Josh Johnson put this ball EXACTLY where it needed to be

Johnson didn’t waste any time on the Wildcats’ next drive. He found Penn State’s Blacknall Saeed with a long pass.
