“We very much look forward to facing a quality non-conference opponent like Towson,” Norfolk State head coach Latrell Scott said. “I’ve known (Towson coach) Rob Ambrose for a long time and have great respect for his program. We know that those will be two competitive games that our fans will be excited about.”
“It is great to be able to play a strong, quality opponent in Norfolk State,” Ambrose said. “They are one of the top competitors in the MEAC and are going to be a challenge in our non-conference schedule these two seasons.”
More information on future NSU football schedules will be announced soon.
