NORFOLK, Virginia -- To win its second straight game, Norfolk State must beat a team it never has defeated in Norfolk.The Spartans play Florida A&M (2-3 overall, 1-1 MEAC) at 2 p.m. Saturday at home, where NSU is 0-7 all-time against the Rattlers.
Norfolk State (1-3, 1-0) is coming off a bye week that followed its first win of the season, a 17-7 victory over Delaware State in a MEAC opener.
“I think we got the opportunity to see versus Delaware State what we have the opportunity to be,” coach Latrell Scott said.
Also for the first time, one quarterback played every snap of a game: freshman Juwan “Pootie” Carter. The Richmond native threw for 292 yards on 28-of-46 passing, with two TD strikes to Chuma Awanna.
Carter split time with freshman Tripp Harrington in the first three games.
“We thought coming out of, probably, James Madison (that) Pootie was gonna be the guy we went with,” Scott said. “I understand as a head coach that when you’re playing the quarterback position, when you don’t know what series is your last series it’s kind of tough to be as productive as you can be.”
