NORFOLK, Virginia -- Finally three-fourths of the way through what's likely as tough a stretch of scheduling as any FCS team has endured this season, Norfolk State could finally get some welcome relief.Or at least a fair fight.
After losses to FBS teams Rutgers, Old Dominion and Marshall, the Spartans (0-3) play their home opener Saturday against MEAC rival Hampton. And though the improved Pirates (2-1, 1-0) are no pushovers, they're not flush with the advantages of playing in the Big Ten or Conference USA.
"I'm not excited to be playing Hampton, but I'm excited to be playing FCS football," first-year NSU coach Latrell Scott said. "The first three weeks of the season have been a challenge. It's been tough."
How tough? Despite holding short-lived leads in their first three games, the Spartans have been outscored 132-30. An offense with a goal of 30 points per game has managed three TDs and hasn't scored a second-half point.
