Both teams punted on their next two drives before Hampton's Christopher Eaton Jr. recovered an Elon (2-6, 1-3) fumble to set up a short field. Malcolm Mays threw a 6-yard touchdown pass to Kymari Gray three plays later to increase the lead to 34-21.
Robinson's last touchdown occurred with 7:55 remaining when he ran it in from the 5.
