Norfolk State offense is abysmal at S.C. State

ORANGEBURG, S.C. - Bad offenses struggle to reach the end zone. Norfolk State's barely got past midfield.

The Spartans' offense was so bad that head coach Pete Adrian met with offensive coaches on the field, a back-up quarterback pondered its identity and the unit was outscored by South Carolina State's defense.

With the season just five games old, any significant chance at repeating last year's MEAC championship disappeared with the no-show offense in a 14-0 loss at South Carolina State (2-3, 1-1).

"We'll go back and evaluate film, evaluate very position," Adrian said. "We're not going to sit still. It's not going to be business as usual around here this week. That's what I was talking to them about right there."

The probable end of NSU's reign came early during a fourth consecutive slow start. The Spartans (2-3, 0-2), who have now been outscored 85-17 in the first half, trailed by a touchdown before the game was 2 minutes old. They were down 14-0 after one quarter.
