Norfolk State lost its season opener to Towson University 27-7, and Vick addressed the media postgame.
“Tonight certainly we could have done a lot of things better. Um, you know, certainly shot ourselves in the foot and a lot of situations. We gave some big players early. Um, found a way to get back into the game, but, um, you know, gave a big third-and-20 third down conversion. I thought that was the turning point in the game, um, battle we fought. Um, but obviously you can’t rush for 39 yards and, and think that you’re going to win a lot of football games. And so it’s a lot of areas we gotta get better in.”
But he remained optimistic, saying, “It’s the first game and we gotta find a way to make the corrections and so we’ll be back to the drawing board tomorrow. But that’s what it’s all about. We gonna keep that championship mindset and we’re not gonna lose sight. Of what has to happen moving forward. We gonna own it, accept it, and uh, keep pushing. So I’m proud of the guys. I’m proud of the way they battled, um, but certainly a little disappointed knowing that they could have done a little bit more.”…
