NORFOLK, Virginia – Ask him to describe Norfolk State’s 2013 football season and head coach Pete Adrian compares it to a classic American toy.
“We’re like a yo-yo sometimes,” said Adrian during Tuesday’s weekly Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference teleconference. “We seem to play up to the competition and down to the competition at times and just trying to figure it out. Kids are going every game. They’re prepared to play and they want to play hard and they do.
“Sometimes we drop a ball, sometimes we miss a block, sometimes we miss tackles and it’s been kind of frustrating to be honest about it, because we know we’re not a bad football team. But our record doesn’t show it.”
A stunning 27-24 road victory over Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference co-leader Bethune-Cookman followed this past weekend by a disappointing 24-13 loss at North Carolina Central was typical of the Spartans’ play this season. The effective, opportunistic effort displayed against the Wildcats was replaced by mistakes on special teams.
