NORFOLK, Virginia -- Coaching transition | Pete Adrian retired after a 10-year run that included the 2011 MEAC championship and an automatic playoff bid. But the Spartans were 11-24 from 2012-14, creating considerable challenges for new head coach Latrell Scott, a former Hampton University tight end who's now worked at six in-state schools.Balance needed | Norfolk State ranked among the nation's top 10 in every major defensive statistical category last season, among the bottom 15 in every key offensive category. In short, averaging 11.7 points in the era of spread offenses is unacceptable.
Non-conference gantlet | The Spartans didn't win a game outside the MEAC last year, and that's unlikely to change in 2015. Each of Norfolk State's three non-league contests are against Bowl Subdivision opponents: the Big Ten's Rutgers and Conference USA's Old Dominion and Marshall.
