NSU looks to end MEAC's longest winning streak


NORFOLK, Virginia  -- Norfolk State doesn’t look much like a candidate to bring an end to the MEAC’s longest winning streak.

But when it comes to the woefully inconsistent Spartans this season, appearances have often been deceiving.

NSU will hope to at least play to the level of its competition when it travels to Daytona Beach, Fla., to take on league-leading Bethune-Cookman today at 4 p.m.

The defending champion Wildcats (8-1, 5-0 MEAC), who are ranked 10th nationally among FCS teams, have won 17 straight conference games dating back to 2011. Their average margin of victory in the league this season is 19.4 points.

The Spartans (2-7, 2-3) are mired in a four-game losing streak in which they’ve fallen an average of 7.5 points short against opponents of widely varying talent levels.
