Game Recap: The Howard University football team battled Norfolk State for four quarters, but it came down to a case of too many key injuries on offense for the Bison as the Spartans, prevailed 10-9 in a Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference game before an overflow homecoming crowd of 7,086 at Greene Stadium.
Howard (1-7 overall, 0-5 in the MEAC) came into the game with injuries to six starters, including all-MEAC performer, junior wide receiver Wille Carter. Carter, who injured an ankle in the loss to North Carolina A&T last week, is the team's top playmaker and his absence definitely had an impact on the game.
And if that was not enough to affect the play of the offensive unit, the Bison were further hampered when leading rusher Charles Brice went down with a leg injury early and did not return. Brice is the team's leading rusher with 400 yards and three TDs).
"It is extremely difficult when you have this many injuries," said Howard Coach Carey Bailey. " It's tough to get anything going when your starters are not out there. There are some young players out there who are not used to being in these situations. Norfolk State has a great defense and it was frustrating that we could not get them out of their comfort zone."
