NORFOLK, Virginia -- Norfolk State’s sideline was bunched together, hopping in unison as its offense drove and the tension mounted.
The Spartans, down by a touchdown in the waning seconds, were 12 yards away from tying the game.
And then, in a bumbling instant, they weren’t. Because this was Norfolk State. In 2016.
Larry Brihm Jr. passed for 138 yards and a touchdown, and Bethune-Cookman fended off a comeback Saturday in a 21-14 MEAC win over the scuffling Spartans at Dick Price Stadium.
The loss was the sixth straight for NSU (1-6, 0-4 MEAC), its longest losing streak since dropping seven in a row in 2012.
With four games left, the loss destroyed the team’s goal of finishing with a winning season for the first time in five years.
