If you follow the Spartans, Saturday stung. Norfolk State led Delaware State 33-16 in the third quarter and still lost 36-33 on a field goal as time expired at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia.

Now comes North Carolina Central, which has not lost a conference game. Norfolk State is 4-5 overall and still looking for its first league win since Michael Vick was hired last year, with only three conference games left.

  • Kickoff: noon Saturday, Nov. 7
  • Where:
  • Opponent: North Carolina Central, unbeaten in conference play
  • Last MEAC win for the Spartans: November 2024

“It's gonna be a game we have to play four quarters of football.”
