NORFOLK, Virginia -- Norfolk State kicker Cameron Marouf offered quite a contrast in style Saturday.Surrounded by freshly stained teammates in their mud-caked uniforms, Marouf sat mostly quiet at the postgame news conference, resplendent in a black suit, black shirt and black tie.
He might not have been the coolest guy in the stadium, but for a couple of moments, he was cool enough.
Marouf's two late field goals propelled the Spartans to a dramatic 20-17 MEAC win over Savannah State. He admitted he wasn't as steady as he appeared before his 38-yarder sailed through in overtime for the win.
Marouf said his mother, Nancy, who died in September 2014 while awaiting a liver transplant, used to ask whether he got nervous before a kick.
"I said no," Marouf recalled Saturday. "But this one, I was somewhat nervous."
