    This was a good game for Norfolk State although in a loss, they did try their best against a highly ranked 1AA team, and if they got their heads together early, this might have been alot closer than it happened to be. Go Spartans!

    Don't be fooled by the score --- W&M controlled this game all the way until they put in the 3rd and 4th string. Only then did NSU get on the board. Almost a 2-to-1 edge in TOP and 0 punts ... Laycock was content to grind out minutes on the ground -- and that's just exactly what happened. GO TRIBE!
