NSU Spartans' Adrian prioritizes improvement

NORFOLK, Virginia --  Many college football coaches this time of year are evaluating their talent against nonconference opponents.

Jobs won in spring and fall camp are often temporary, kept only as long as early season performance dictates.

Things are different at Norfolk State only in degree; with a young roster and questions at quarterback, coach Pete Adrian is especially taxed with balancing the value of winning vs. player development during a tough three-game stretch.

The Spartans (0-1) visit Rutgers on Saturday as 40-point underdogs hoping to make progress before their Sept. 28 MEAC opener at Morgan State. After an open date next week, NSU plays host to Charleston Southern on Sept. 21.

Adrian, of course, wants to win Saturday and beyond.
