Norfolk State has won two straight — the first time that's happened since 2021 — and the second one was Michael Vick's first road win as a head coach. If you've been waiting for a reason to pay attention to the Spartans, the wait is over.
The headline inside the headline: quarterback Jalyn Daniels broke a school record with a 95-yard touchdown run. Ninety-five yards. That's not a scramble, that's a track meet that broke out during a football game.
Back-to-back wins doesn't sound like much until you remember the drought. This program has been starving for momentum, and now it has some — plus a head coach whose name alone fills seats and a quarterback who just put himself in the record book.
What's next
The Spartans travel to Robert Morris on Saturday. Win that one and we're not talking about a streak anymore — we're talking about a season.
