You have never, ever seen it all.
It seems Norfolk State and Virginia State both wanted to lose their Week 1 matchup against the other Saturday afternoon. In a sequence that is almost too ridiculous to sum up with words, Norfolk State coughed up a truly golden opportunity to steal a win from VSU.
Here’s the gist: Virginia State, facing 4th and 7 from within their own 10-yard line, decides to run out of bounds with 1 second remaining, giving Norfolk State the ball within VSU’s 10 and 1 second remaining, trailing by just 3.
Then, more unthinkable happens. Norfolk State has trouble with the snap, leading to a 90-yard scoop and score for Virginia State, which wins 33-24.
College football, folks. Sit back and enjoy the show:
