NORFOLK, VA (WTKR)- Norfolk State did not get the desired result during its season opener last week. Saturday wasn't easy, but the Spartans entered the locker room a little happier.

The green and gold engineered a fourth quarter comeback and booted the game-winning field goal in overtime, topping Virginia State, 34-31, at Dick Price Stadium. The victory gave Michael Vick his first as a collegiate head coach.

Down 3-0 in the first, special teams came up big. Ricardo Underwood blocked the Trojan punt and Jason Wonodi recovered the ball in the endzone for the touchdown, giving Vick's Spartans the first lead of his coaching career at 7-3. Virginia State would respond with 13 second quarter points, however and take a 16-7 lead into halftime.
