If there is anything to hang our hat on, Norfolk only had 6 completions in the game. It's not much but it's something.lol Hell, we only have 6 completions in a game and half of those are for no gain. What worries me is those lightweight linemen we have on defense are going to get steamrolled by Norfolk. You can't leave a defense on the field like that . Yes they are lightweight but those lightweight linemen played with Pride and held their own until they got tired from being on the field so long. It is not so much the defense but it is damn sure the offense that is killing this team and sucking the life out of them with their pathetic play.

Smh. This is crazy. Idk what to expect. I DO expect to have a nice Crowd and the bands blaring.
Give me a Passing TD...just start there.
Oh, and don't forget Norfolk, (to ME), is just on This side of a Rival. Coach Wash had their number though.
To me, the frustrating part is us not being able to use our weapons. I know that we are trying, and it's been only one Conf game. But Man...

I remember when we lost to Norfolk State in 2006. That was the moment we knew we were in deep doo-doo.

Can't remember the last time I've gone into a game against Norfolk wondering if we could/would win. #Smh I don't think we have lost to NSU since 2011

For this game we just need to say fugg passing the ball. I watched D2 VSU run the ball at will on NSU. We should probably try the same because we ain't likely developed a passing game in the week we had off.

We should probably try the same because we ain't likely developed a passing game in the week we had off. They effectively run a Dime Defense with 6 guys sub 200 lbs. We should be able to run the ball on them. Unfortunately, they may be able to run the ball on us. We'll need to finally play keep away, winning the time of possession for once this season. If we can win TOP, we win this game.

Correct. Trivia: Can you tell me the head coach for A&T that year and how many years had he been coaching at A&T? Wasn't that Rod Broadway in his 1st season linkHe was in a rebuild season similar to Coach Brown. I wonder at the time how much flack he received after his 1st 3 games when his only win was against a non-D1 team. Now look at how much Coach Broadway is admired for the job he did at A&T.

I wonder at the time how much flack he received after his 1st 3 games when his only win was against a non-D1 team. Now look at how much Coach Broadway is admired for the job he did at A&T. The difference between Broadways situation and Browns is there were no expectations, the talent deficit was clear and with even that disadvantage they still looked and executed like a football team. Yes he got flack about everything from the pass defense to play calling (OC) . despite the lack of talent they could execute and generate yardage unlike this team. This team on paper should not be performing this way even if the OC is as terrible as some say they should still be able to produce yardage in the passing game. Like I said before it's not the idea of losing that is bothering people, it's the idea of losing the way they are performing it's like they are not even trying.
