Michael Vick Earns First Win as Norfolk State Coach With OT Comeback vs. Virginia State

The comeback spotlights Vick’s early quarterback decision ahead of Rutgers.

Overview

  • Norfolk State beat Division II Virginia State 34-31 in overtime on a 29-yard field goal by freshman Evan Helfrich.
  • The Spartans rallied from a 23-7 deficit and scored 21 fourth-quarter points to force the extra period.
  • Virginia State hit the crossbar on a 46-yard try at the end of regulation and then turned the ball over on downs to start overtime.
  • After Israel Carter opened at quarterback, Otto Kuhns came on to complete 13 of 20 passes for 173 yards and two touchdowns to ignite the offense.
  • Vick has said Carter remains QB1 as discussion about the position grows, and Norfolk State visits Rutgers next week.
