Quick facts about next week's opponent, Norfolk State. These guys play in the Division 1-AA MEAC (Think Florida A&M and Howard) and were 8-3 least year. Their only FBS (I hate that term) foe in 2007 was Rutgers, who beat them 59-0. They appear to schedule one high division one team a year.
Last week the Spartans played Virginia State in front of a home crowd of about 17,000 and won easily, 47-7. VSU, it should be noted, is D2.
Norfolk is breaking in a new starting quarterback and also lost a 1000 yard rusher off last year's team. DeAngelo Branch, a sophomore from Norfolk, VA ran for 92 yards and three scores last week.
Cool fact: Head coach Pete Adrian once served as defensive coordinator for the Chicago Enforcers of the XFL
