Norfolk State's West Coast offense went south at ODU

NORFOLK, Virginia -- Before Saturday, first-year Norfolk State Football Coach Latrell Scott would've had to think long and hard to remember the last time his West Coast offense went an entire game without scoring a touchdown.

But now the memory is fresh, not to mention frustrating.

The Spartans (0-2) scored their lone touchdown during a 24-10 loss at Old Dominion on a blocked punt. The offensive scheme, which Scott brought with him after a wildly successful two-year run at Virginia State, generated 266 total yards but never managed to find the end zone - even when it reached ODU's 2-yard line late in the game.



Scott couldn't recall the last time his offense Cfailed to put points on the board, and he hopes the unit cleans things up before NSU visits Marshall this weekend.

"It's been a long time," Scott said. "ItCONTINU's something that we take pretty personally, and it's something that we've challenged the offense to make sure that it doesn't happen. You can't have the ball on the 2-yard line and not score."
