Norfolk State University athletic director Marty MillerPISCATAWAY, N.J.- Norfolk State trailed just 6-0 to Rutgers at halftime - an effort that had to be considered a moral victory. That made it two wins for the Spartans on Thursday. Athletic director Marty Miller said he considers games against FBS teams a victory for the athletic program as well."They get a chance to see how much work they need to do to reach that level," Miller said. "It motivates them."
The game was NSU's third against a top-level opponent in the past four years. The Spartans have scheduled West Virginia for next season and Miller said he hopes to make a similar opponent an annual ritual. "We're trying to play at least one of these a year," Miller said. "I'm trying to get through 2015."
Norfolk State's bottom line benefits as well. The Spartans were paid $325,000.
