NSU report | Spartans stick with just one QB this time

BALTIMORE, Maryland  -- If Tyler Clark did enough Saturday to be handed the starting quarterback job at Norfolk State, that's not the way he wants it.

He said he'd rather keep earning it.

Clark completed 18 of 28 passes for 125 yards and a pair of touchdowns during NSU's 27-21 MEAC win at Morgan State, becoming the first Spartans quarterback to play a game from start to finish this season.

A former star at Grassfield High in Chesapeake, Clark has split time at the position with fellow sophomores Omari Timmons and Malik Stokes.

Coach Pete Adrian, with the exception of last week, hasn't even publicly named a starter before kickoff, hoping that the mystery would fuel competition.

And competition, apparently, is what Clark wants. Asked whether he thought he'd made a case for keeping the job Saturday, his answer came quickly.
