ECSU Vikings try to get back on track

ELIZABETH CITY, North Carolina  -- Waverly Tillar is hoping his football team learned a lesson in last week’s 28-17 loss at Virginia State.

“You have to be 100 percent ready to play or things are going to happen and they are not going to go your way,” he said.

The Vikings weren’t ready, things happened, and practically none of them went their way as previously impotent Virginia State threw three touchdown passes to score only their second victory in six games.  Tillar could see before the game that ECSU was in trouble.

“The guys didn’t come to play, they were flat at the onset and I could sense in the warmups we weren’t clicking,” he said. “This was the first time this year I had seen that. I didn’t know what to expect, but we were playing at Virginia State and any time we had come up there not ready to play, the results were the same.”
