Delaware State squeezes past NSU 13-10

NORFOLK, Virginia -- Delaware State has one of the least productive FCS offenses.

On Saturday, the Hornets barely needed it.

Mitchell Ward kicked a 43-yard field goal in overtime to lift Delaware State to a strange 13-10 MEAC win over hapless Norfolk State at Dick Price Stadium.

The Hornets (2-5, 2-1), who entered the game 120th out of 121 FCS schools in total offense, won despite being outgained 240 yards to 114 and not scoring an offensive touchdown.

"We should've won the football game," Spartans coach Pete Adrian said. "There's no question about that. I mean, we found a way to lose it."

Ward's game-winner came after NSU quarterback Tyler Clark threw an interception in the end zone on first possession of overtime.
