Looking ahead to Norfolk State
The Tigers hit the road again for a matchup with Norfolk State. The Spartans barely beat the Tigers at Unitas Stadium last year 21-14. The Spartans have had a rough go with a 2-5 record. They own wins over VMI and Virginia State.
Jalen Daniels is their man under center, a transfer from Garden City Community College in Kansas. Kevon King is their main running back with almost 500 yards rushing and 4 touchdowns. Jalen Daniels can also use his legs and has 2 touchdowns on the year. They have a couple of talented wide receivers in Jacquez Jones, Kam’Ryn Thomas and Tavian Morris. All of them have at least 1 touchdown on the year.
Defensively, AJ Richardson leads their team with total tackles with 52. Dylan Long and Terron Mallory both have 2 INT’s on the year. Marcus Maubey had 2 sacks on the year. There’s a lot of talent back there but they need to be more consistent to take pressure off the offense. The Tigers will look to keep the ball rolling with another win. GO TIGERS.
