Norfolk State scores a win, finally, over Morgan State
10/13/2022, 6 p.m.
No, it’s not a misprint. Norfolk State University really does sit all alone in first place in the MEAC football standings.
After five straight non-conference losses, the Spartans scored a thrilling 24-21 win over Morgan State on Oct. 8 in Baltimore. It was the MEAC opener for both.
NSU (now 1-5 overall but 1-0 in the MEAC) scored with five seconds left on a short pass from Jaylan Adams to Da’Quan Felton. A sophomore from Portsmouth, Felton made the catch despite being interfered with in the end zone.
Next up for NSU is a Dick Price Stadium date against MEAC foe Delaware State at 2 p.m. Saturday.
Despite the rough start, NSU remains in contention for the MEAC crown and a berth in the Celebration Bowl in Atlanta in December.
