Former Eagles Stars Face Off in Wild College Football Finish

DeSean Jackson and Michael Vick, former Philadelphia Eagles teammates, clashed as head coaches of their schools at Lincoln Financial Field on Saturday. Jackson's Delaware State Hornets staged a dramatic comeback, defeating Vick's Norfolk State Spartans 36-33. The Hornets erased a 17-point deficit in the final quarter, sealing the victory with a game-winning field goal as time expired.

Norfolk State led 17-0 in the second quarter but was held scoreless in the third. Delaware State made a late surge, scoring 20 points to win the game. Quarterback Marqui Adams was instrumental, contributing 243 passing yards and four touchdowns. Despite Norfolk State's chances to retake the lead, a late fumble handed the ball to Delaware State near their end zone, leading to the clinching field goal.

The win gave Delaware State a 5-4 record, while Norfolk State fell to 4-5 in conference play. This matchup marked Jackson's second consecutive triumph over his former teammate, following a 27-20 Delaware State victory last season. Vick, frustrated by the loss, had controlled much of the game. For Jackson, the victory showcased another memorable win over his former colleague in the stadium where both had played in the NFL.
