NORFOLK, Virginia – There seems to be a bit of a new feel to a good ole’ fashion rivalry. Saturday’s clash between Norfolk State and Hampton will feature a new head coach on one side, a head coach in his second year on the other, and opposing quarterbacks playing in the game for the first time.
For the Spartans (0-3), it will be Grank Hankerson, the transfer from Florida Atlantic, commanding the offense, while Hampton High School graduate David Watford will lead the Pirates (2-1).
“I’ve experienced the whole atmosphere, and how the crowds are and how exciting the game is. I’ve experienced it, and just to be able to play in it for the first time is very big for me. I’m very excited about that,” said Watford, who was named the Mid Eastern Athletic Conference Offensive Player of the Week.
Watford transferred from the University of Virginia, and has since helped turn the Pirates into the top scoring offense in the MEAC (33 points per game).
