Game Notes

NORFOLK, Va. - Norfolk State (4-1, 2-0 MEAC) looks to remain atop the MEAC standings and extend their win streak to four games when they face the Delaware State Hornets (2-3, 0-2 MEAC) this Saturday in Dover, Del. Kickoff is at 1 p.m. at Alumni Stadium.

NSU is 4-1 overall, 2-0 in the MEAC after a 17-14 win over No. 22 South Carolina State last Saturday in Norfolk, Va. Chris Walley completed 21 of 32 passes for 153 yards and ran for a touchdown, and linebacker Onyemechi Anyaugo returned a second quarter SCSU fumble 84 yards for a touchdown for the Spartans.

Anyaugo had 13 tackles to lead the NSU defense and Corwin Hammond added
10 stops.
