00:01I'm going to make some decisions that's going to be in the best interest of this team.
00:04Coach Steve Adams is going to take over as defensive coordinator.
00:07I got to spend him for two weeks.
00:09I feel like with Kayvon, there's always something.
00:11This can't be happening with you right now.
00:13I was 18 years old when my dad went to prison.
00:16It's a possibility that he may get out.
00:19Our run at the MEAC Championship starts with the game this week, homecoming.
00:24This could be the greatest story I've ever told.
00:27It could be the biggest embarrassment.
00:59Go! Let's go!
01:00Woo! Turn around for the boys!
01:02Let's go!
01:03Let's go!
01:05Let's go!
01:05Let's go, baby!
01:06Time to eat!
01:07Oh, we locked in.
01:09Facing the former MEAC champ, South Carolina State.
01:11We got to go out there and fight.
01:13It's not how you start, it's how you finish.
01:15We got off to a rough start and sometimes change is good and we all got to accept it.
01:21Thanks for stepping up for me.
01:22Certainly.
01:23Proud of you.
01:24We going forward, not back.
01:26South Carolina State.
01:27South Carolina State has been dominating the MEAC for years.
01:29We had a week and a half to learn an entire new defense.
01:32Get what we learned for the last six months.
01:34It's uncomfortable, but sometimes uncomfortable is what we need.
01:37Let's go!
01:38Hey, listen.
01:39I want to see a physical game today.
01:41Excited that y'all get an opportunity to go to show the world how good we really are.
01:46Let's play together.
01:47Love y'all, man.
01:47Let's go get it, baby.
01:50Let's go.
01:50Conference play.
01:51Let's go.
01:58It's time for MEAC conference play.
02:00It's homecoming here in Norfolk and what do you do?
02:03You schedule the reigning MEAC champion in the South Carolina State Bulldogs.
02:08Let's go, baby.
02:09Stay locked in.
02:11Good to see Kevon King back on the sidelines.
02:14Going to the South Carolina game, I was really focused on making plays.
02:18Because it's homecoming.
02:19That's the biggest game of the season.
02:22I'm ready to run hard and get back on track.
02:25Let's go, D.
02:27Set the tone, baby.
02:28Set the tone.
02:29Run up the middle.
02:30Nice.
02:31Nice.
02:31David Long's on the tackle.
02:33Nice.
02:34The Spartans' defensive captain is fired up and already making plays.
02:38Good job, dude.
02:39Third down.
02:40Bulldogs back to pass.
02:41Kyrie Moiston getting some pressure on the quarterback.
02:43Nice.
02:44Nice.
02:45Nice.
02:45Good to see Kyrie Moiston back on the field after missing a game at Wofford.
02:50It had been a little minute.
02:51I was dealing with some injuries.
02:52Go through all that and perform when it's time to perform.
02:54It definitely feels good.
02:56Let's go, baby.
02:58Let's go, baby.
03:01And a swarm of Spartan tacklers are there for the stop.
03:04Turnover on down Spartans' ball and this place is rocky.
03:08First quarter, they gave us everything that we knew that was going to give us on film and we just
03:12executed.
03:13We all believed that we could still be champions.
03:16Relax.
03:17Have some fun.
03:18Play physical.
03:18Otto Koons from the shotgun.
03:20Lupiti.
03:20He has a man.
03:21Back shoulder to J.J. Evans.
03:23And that's complete for a touchdown.
03:25The Spartans strike first.
03:27Keep doing that.
03:29After that touchdown to J.J., it was kind of like everything was coming together.
03:32Get in the rhythm.
03:33Have fun out there.
03:33Bulldogs knocking on the door from the shotgun.
03:36It's a handoff.
03:37And he goes plowing into the end zone.
03:39Bulldogs answer right back.
03:41Let's go.
03:41We good, baby.
03:42We good.
03:42It's going to take four quarters.
03:44Let's stay in it.
03:44Stay in it.
03:45The Bulldogs driving again.
03:46And they'll take it down the sidelines for another touchdown.
03:49What in the hell?
03:50That was a little too easy and we're seeing the Spartans' defense struggle once again.
03:55South Carolina State was like a lot of mental mistakes.
03:58Bulldogs going deep.
03:59Oh, no.
04:00That's a touchdown.
04:01Damn.
04:0224 unanswered Bulldog points.
04:04What in the world was that?
04:05When somebody was doing their job, somebody else wasn't.
04:08But that's always the case with us.
04:09Hey, everybody stay together.
04:10Keep fighting.
04:12Another completion.
04:14What the hell?
04:15And this one is starting to get out of hand and it's not yet halftime.
04:20It really was frustrating because it was my last homecoming game.
04:23I know my talents.
04:25I could have definitely helped the team out a few touchdowns and yards.
04:28I was kind of mad.
04:29I think after Kayvon's suspension, me and Kayvon, you know, taking some time to get on the same page.
04:37I felt like it wasn't the right time to put him back in.
04:39He has a lot to prove.
04:41Keep playing.
04:42So all we can do is keep playing.
04:44Keep playing hard.
04:45And another Bulldog touchdown.
04:47You need to be disciplined throughout the whole game.
04:49All four quarters and you just couldn't do it.
04:52That shit is crazy, though.
04:53It was definitely tough losing the homecoming game, especially in that type of fashion.
04:57You know, you want to put it on for your family and friends and all that.
04:59There's everybody in town to see y'all play.
05:03Shit gotta change.
05:04The players and coaches, we can't move forward with the same shit.
05:06Credit the coach pick for drawing the largest homecoming attendance in Spartans history.
05:11But it will also go down as their biggest homecoming loss.
05:15Final score, Bulldogs 51, Spartans 20.
05:19To lose like that during homecoming was more than doing because it was flat out embarrassing.
05:26Hey, definitely a good old fashioned ass whooping.
05:29We ain't all the way bought in.
05:30And it shows.
05:32I know everything that go on.
05:34Everything.
05:35About every single one of y'all.
05:38That's what you get, though.
05:40That's what you get.
05:41Because you ain't do shit the right way.
05:43I'm the head coach for a reason.
05:45To set a standard.
05:46To create a culture.
05:48I told you I love football too much to just let anything ride, man.
05:53The homecoming loss is embarrassing.
05:55It takes a strong mindset.
05:58It takes will.
05:59And you gotta stay locked in for four quarters.
06:01If you don't, you're never gonna get the outcome that you want in this game.
06:04Amen.
06:08The fall short on homecoming is not a good feeling.
06:11I honestly had high hopes that it would have been a close game at least.
06:16As a student, it's so hard to keep your energy high, rooting for a losing team.
06:21We have another game next week.
06:23You gotta figure out how to just kinda take that all in and go forward.
06:26At the end of the day, I think that's what they're missing.
06:28The whole family dynamic.
06:29If they come together, you know, really love on each other and trust one another, I think they can do
06:33big things.
06:37What's taking grandma and them so long?
06:39Let's see where they are.
06:40Tell them the food getting cold.
06:41Dad, you giving me Roblox?
06:43Michael, you out of Roblox.
06:44Tell the truth.
06:45Yeah.
06:46Man, I told you not to spin on Roblox that fast, babe.
06:49Dad, please.
06:49Babe, so tell me about the state of the team right now.
06:51Like, how everybody feeling?
06:53I told them today, man, next four games, the most important games of their life.
06:59I know my husband to be a competitor, and I know he likes to win.
07:02So after this homecoming game, it's been hard for him, but I think that every loss for him is a
07:07lesson.
07:08So how everybody feeling about this game Thursday?
07:11Against Deshaun?
07:11Yeah, against Deshaun.
07:12Oh, we got to come to play.
07:13We got a short turnaround this week.
07:15It's a Thursday game.
07:17Got to go up to Philadelphia to take on a good friend of mine and a former teammate.
07:21Deshaun Jackson, who's coaching at Delaware State.
07:24We've been struggling.
07:24They've been winning.
07:26Everybody's going to be watching.
07:27It'll be on ESPN.
07:28And it's going to be at Lincoln Financial Field, where we both play with the Philadelphia Eagles.
07:32So this game is important to us.
07:34We got to go get this one.
07:35We all should leave at the same time.
07:37I need to be in Philly early so I can go to the mall.
07:40Because you got an event that I don't have no clothes for.
07:43And I'll be right behind y'all.
07:45Hello.
07:45Hello.
07:47Hey, y'all.
07:48After a tough loss, you want to be around loved ones.
07:50Hey, everybody.
07:51Hey.
07:52Welcome to the party.
07:53So we come together as a family and we fellowship.
07:57And we eat.
07:58And we eat.
07:58And we eat.
07:59On the count of three.
08:00Everybody say Grace.
08:01One, two, three.
08:03Grace!
08:04This is not a football huddle.
08:07Being around my family, that's what keeps me in character.
08:10They make me smile.
08:11They make me feel better about everything.
08:13I'm always cutting up my shirts.
08:15Because I don't like stuff around my neck.
08:17Like you used to put that turtleneck around my neck when I was little.
08:20I used to cry.
08:21Your daddy used to cry so bad.
08:22I feel like it was choking.
08:24And then when I take it off, he say.
08:27When I'm with them, all my worries just go out the window.
08:30Y'all excited to go back to a place where I won Comeback Player of the Year?
08:33Yes.
08:33You know it.
08:34We are very excited.
08:36Yes.
08:37Philadelphia is always going to be special to me.
08:40Great times.
08:40Great memories.
08:41Great football fan base.
08:43So I'm ready to go to Philly and get to it.
08:46That was y'all town.
08:47Y'all hometown for a while.
08:48Mm-hmm.
08:49Jayden and Linda grew up there.
08:51Yeah, my Philly girl.
08:52Born and raised North Philadelphia, right near Temple University, AA.
08:56Philly loves Mike.
08:57Philly loves Deshaun.
08:59And starting in August, people were calling me asking me for tickets to this game.
09:02I'm going to be on the opposite side.
09:03I ain't going to be on the home side.
09:05I'm going to be on the visitor side.
09:06Deshaun got the home side.
09:07It's still going to be fun.
09:08I'm going to be hate.
09:09You going to wear it?
09:10That's messed up Jack.
09:12It's going to be fun, man.
09:13It's going to be fun.
09:14It's going to be fun.
09:21For you, what does it mean to be back in Philly, you and Jackson as head coaches?
09:27Feels great to be playing against Deshaun.
09:29Us being head coaches and not having the chance to go head to head, man.
09:32It's going to be really, really cool.
09:35Me and Deshaun, we both came from humble beginnings.
09:37And we both dreamt of playing in the NFL.
09:40I still remember the day it came true for me.
09:43It's so vivid in my mind.
09:45I just teared up because he's the first black quarterback to be picked number one overall.
09:50That's black history.
09:51He quickly became the most electrifying player that the league has ever seen.
09:58This little flick of the wrist.
09:59The ball was going 60 yards.
10:02What a throw from Michael Bick.
10:03He, of course, was an elite runner.
10:05How did he do that?
10:06There had never been that type of player.
10:09The speed, the quickness, the soulfulness.
10:13Michael Bick for sure changed the game.
10:15It's just about dominating at every turn and having a close bond with my teammates like Deshaun.
10:232010 to 2013 with the Eagles.
10:25Coach Bick and Deshaun Jackson, what a connection.
10:28You think of D-Jack, one of the best at the wide receiver position.
10:32And you think of Michael Bick, one of the best at the quarterback position.
10:35Near days in Philadelphia, my brother always came home talking about Deshaun.
10:40Close teammates and friends over the years.
10:43The relationship we have is a real brotherhood.
10:46For both of them to end up in head coaching positions at respective HBCUs in the same conference
10:52and have the opportunity to play each other in their first year.
10:54It's just the universe saying this was meant to be.
10:56Being head coaches now, being able to play against each other and being able to mentor the next generation.
11:01That's a full circle moment for us.
11:03One, two, three.
11:05Everybody come out, man.
11:06It's going to be a life changer.
11:07It'll work, bro.
11:08Yes, sir.
11:09Bro, life.
11:10We got to clean it up.
11:11We got three days to turn it around and get on to Delaware State.
11:14Everything is on the line in this one.
11:16I play here.
11:17It's on national television.
11:18And it's a big game in the MEAC.
11:20So it's important that we win.
11:21I got to get my guys to buy in.
11:23You know, they're going to run right through us.
11:25Unfortunately, somebody got to walk away and lose it.
11:27We're going to do everything we can this week.
11:29Just try to make sure that it's not us.
11:35Watch the ball.
11:36We don't want to be embarrassed on the national stage.
11:40One more time, I'm going to cancel this whole practice.
11:42You up?
11:43They just let him out two days ago.
11:45Is he really?
11:45Yeah.
11:45Knowing that my pops getting out, it's a blessing.
11:48What's up, B?
11:49How you doing?
11:51Let's go out of the way for this.
11:53Yeah!
11:54Clones finds JJ Evans for the touchdown.
11:57And Coach Vic Spartans are fired up in Philadelphia.
12:07How are you calling Jack?
12:09Yeah.
12:09They just let him out two days ago.
12:11Is he really?
12:11Yeah.
12:12So he's good?
12:12Yeah, he good.
12:15He can't go.
12:16Oh, he can't go?
12:16He can't go?
12:17He only can go like 100 miles.
12:18My sister had called me that my pops getting out.
12:20You know, I became ecstatic.
12:22I have still yet to see him, but knowing that he's out, it's a blessing.
12:25What's up, B?
12:26How you doing?
12:27How you doing?
12:28You going to go running today?
12:29You got your 12 miles in yesterday?
12:33I say, you ain't do that.
12:34You ain't do 12.
12:38Yeah, I know that.
12:43Don't let me get in my zone.
12:44Being in there and not being able to be out here and watch everybody grow, you know,
12:48it's hard.
12:52Yeah, B.
12:53That's because of you.
12:54You ain't miss a game.
12:57Yeah, sir.
12:58My dad motivates us a lot just to be better each and every day.
13:02I can't wait, you know, to see my pop.
13:08Can't wait to see you.
13:09If you're going to get to it, I love you, B.
13:13Yes, sir.
13:21Hey, boo.
13:21How are you?
13:23Hey.
13:24How are you?
13:24How's everything?
13:25You know.
13:26Coach wife life.
13:27I know.
13:27It's different.
13:28How is it?
13:30It's a lot different.
13:30I barely get to see you now.
13:31I know.
13:32I don't see nobody.
13:33All I do is see the airplanes and back and forth every week.
13:35My girl, Geneva the diva.
13:38We actually met in Philadelphia.
13:40Our husbands played for the Eagles together, Asante Samuels.
13:43Now he's the coach.
13:44It's not like I just come in for these little bit of hours.
13:47I know, right?
13:47Before it was like just worrying about our husbands, like one player.
13:51Now you have to like worry about the whole team.
13:53Mike now, he's a father.
13:55I feel like he got 118 kids.
13:57It never stops.
13:57From early in the morning to late at night.
14:00Really?
14:00Yeah.
14:00If something happens, they call in Coach Vic.
14:03Oh my goodness.
14:04It's no off time.
14:05Me and Geneva, we experience a lot of the same things.
14:07And I feel like when you are in this football world, it's things that's not normal to other people.
14:14But she understands.
14:15And that's why we mix.
14:16It's a lot.
14:17It's just, you know.
14:18Well, the season isn't going that great.
14:20No, it's not going well at all.
14:22How is that?
14:22It has to be rough.
14:23You know, he's a competitor.
14:25He's like.
14:26He just want to win, win, win, win.
14:28But Deshawn is having such a good season.
14:31I know.
14:31That's crazy.
14:33Deshawn was like the wild one in Philly.
14:35You know, Mike was the calm one.
14:36But D-Jack was wild.
14:38Mike is really happy for Deshawn.
14:40They got to kick they butt this week, though, in Philly.
14:42I know.
14:42I have to come to Philly.
14:44I cannot miss it.
14:44Yes, you gotta come to the game.
14:45Geneva, please.
14:46It's our old stomping ground.
14:47I have to.
14:48Oh, we used to run them streets in Philly.
14:49Oh my God.
14:50In the stadium.
14:51In the box.
14:51So he's not, like, intimidated.
14:55If anything, he is, like, ready to take him down.
14:58Hopefully, NSU is going to get a bunch of touchdowns.
15:01Right?
15:02And we just get.
15:02And we win.
15:17We have about four specials.
15:18I think we'll call them all.
15:19Let's call them all.
15:21We'll have Delaware State on the heels.
15:23Let's do it.
15:23Delaware State has an amazing run game.
15:25It's very explosive.
15:26So we gotta be physical.
15:28And we gotta slow them down.
15:29Because if you give them an inch, it'll take a mile for sure.
15:33Ice.
15:35Ice.
15:35Nice.
15:36Gotta have them on their heels.
15:37Good job.
15:37Good job.
15:38I really want the team to understand what's in front of them.
15:40If they stay focused and keep their eyes on the prize.
15:44So try to win the MIA.
15:46I've been where they at.
15:47I know what's at stake.
15:49It's their last run.
15:50And you gotta put the work in.
15:52We coming with everything.
15:57Yes sir.
15:58That's gonna be nice.
15:58I've expressed my feelings about not playing this much South Carolina game with Coach Dre and Coach Vic.
16:05When I get practice, they were telling me they're gonna get me more involved.
16:08I've been very observant with him.
16:10And I've had good conversations with him.
16:12It's about finishing strong for Kayvon.
16:14Staying out of his own way.
16:16And just being the best version of Kayvon King that he can be.
16:21D-Mac with the jeans on.
16:23He won't be supposed to pull that out to the game.
16:28Hold on.
16:29Depends on time with the defense today.
16:31Whoever like, if he said you, you, you, then the corner fell off.
16:35Yeah.
16:36Going into Delaware State, we just want to prove that as a defense, that homecoming was a fluke.
16:40There was some mistakes that we made putting in a whole new defense.
16:43But we'll be able to come back and have a better outcome.
16:50Come on, Kyrie.
16:51Kyrie's always doing that shit, bro.
16:53You're just so undisciplined, bro.
16:55Come on now.
16:55Lock in, bro.
16:56Let's go.
16:57Focus.
16:58Focus.
16:59Penalties I just don't get sometimes.
17:01I think for us, man, it's discipline.
17:03People don't understand how critical it is to be the best version of yourself 24 hours
17:09out of the day.
17:10Watch the ball.
17:13Oh, you just said it, bro.
17:15Hey, yo.
17:16Hey.
17:16One more time, I'm gonna cancel this whole practice.
17:19I just play hard.
17:20And sometimes I really do get carried away.
17:22But I promise you I will get the penalties figured out.
17:24Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on.
17:26Come on, come on, come on.
17:28Come on, come on, come on.
17:29Come on.
17:29Yeah.
17:30Coach, you gotta take the knee, Kyrie.
17:31Just don't move to the ball.
17:32Look at the ball.
17:33Look at the ball.
17:34Look at the ball.
17:34Look at the ball.
17:34Keep beating ourselves.
17:35That's what we're talking about.
17:37It's frustrating knowing that you're trying your best, and you're trying to uplift,
17:42and you're trying to encourage, and it's not really doing anything.
17:44Watch the ball!
17:47It's getting a little frustrating and seeing that simple mistakes that are being made.
17:50Right now, these guys get an opportunity to showcase what they can do on ESPN.
17:55It's great exposure for our young men.
17:57No.
17:58Oh, daddy.
17:59It's been a young man.
18:00No.
18:00But, man, we don't want to be getting embarrassed on the national stage because of penalties,
18:06mistakes, and turnover.
18:06No!
18:07No!
18:08Stage!
18:08Bro, what are y'all doing?
18:10Gail!
18:11Gail!
18:15Silly stage.
18:16Can't ask nothing better than that.
18:18We definitely gonna talk trash to each other.
18:20As you should do.
18:21Y'all boys ain't never seen no stadium before.
18:23They ain't giving us a chance in hell.
18:25We'll see you laughing when it's all said and done.
18:33Let me give y'all some good cards this time.
18:36Who you putting up?
18:37Your N.I.O, man.
18:39Give me that chance.
18:40Y'all go ahead, yeah.
18:43Uh-oh, whoever won this one is the chance.
18:45I'm going home, y'all cheating.
18:47Me and my pops' relationship is amazing.
18:48You know, we had tough times at some points, but that's where anybody's family.
18:51You know, me being young, hard-headed.
18:53Put your hand off the fence.
18:56Get ready.
18:57Get ready.
18:59As I get older, I understand that we're really the same person.
19:02Listening to him is my biggest thing.
19:04Got a big game coming up.
19:06Philly.
19:07Gotta dominate.
19:09Gotta dominate.
19:10Big stage, man, you know.
19:11Deshaun on the other side, you know.
19:13I'm ready to pop the head.
19:14Oh, my Lord, we gotta, we gotta win.
19:16Always been one of your favorite receivers, so.
19:18Yeah.
19:18Philly stage.
19:20Philadelphia Eagles.
19:21Can't ask for nothing better than that.
19:22Dream is to play in the NFL.
19:24You're one step closer going through that stadium.
19:26Yeah.
19:26So everything else is going good.
19:28You always want to play more.
19:29You always want to play more.
19:29Especially when you feel like you can contribute in certain situations.
19:33Then it's like we lose, and so we gotta go on campus, hear about that.
19:37So it's just trying to get the mental right.
19:39I've never lost as many games in my life, so it's definitely derailed me mentally.
19:43One of my biggest goals is to be All-American, and that's kind of hard to do as we are
19:47losing.
19:48You just gotta have that positive attitude at all times, because you never know.
19:52Who watching?
19:53Exactly.
19:54You can be down on yourself for a second, but you gotta get back up.
19:57Yeah.
19:57You gotta understand that where you're at right now, it's thousands if not millions of kids that would like to
20:05be in your position.
20:06Yeah, I know.
20:06I remember I met Justice one time, and it was after a game, and he was like,
20:12yeah, me and Makai, we're gonna do this, we're gonna do that.
20:15He was so happy.
20:16One of my best friends, Justice Dunham, he died at 17 to gun violence.
20:20He was always an uplifting person, so anytime I'm just going through something,
20:24I think back to how he had tried to uplift me.
20:25And my pops, he always there just to keep me level-headed and keep me in good spirits.
20:30So when you get upset, use that as motivation and say, yo, do it for him.
20:37No, I definitely, definitely do.
20:38That should give you the motivation to keep on going on.
20:48What's up?
20:49Hold up, what up, buddy?
20:53What you got going on?
20:54Just got out of class, had to do a presentation.
20:56What class you at?
20:58Social problems.
20:59I had to do a little presentation on gun violence.
21:01I was stuttering, but a little nervous.
21:03Yeah.
21:03We got a big game coming up this week.
21:05For sure.
21:06In the Eagles stadium.
21:07Vic and Deshaun.
21:09We watched them growing up.
21:11Just to get a dub.
21:13It's hard to come by one of them.
21:14It's hard.
21:15Because, you know, I'd be getting penalties and whatnot.
21:17You want to be better, get out of the scene.
21:19You really trying to get to that ball every trip.
21:21Kyrie, you won't deny him getting to the football.
21:23He's just like me.
21:24Just tenacious.
21:26Sometimes people don't know how to control the chaos.
21:29And I understand it's frustrating.
21:30Because I used to be one of those guys that played with uncontrollable chaos.
21:35But some people need those lessons in order to learn.
21:38I know it ain't going the way you want it to go.
21:40But I'm just tired of the motivation species, bro.
21:43If they don't get it by now, bro, they not going to get it.
21:45You should just be out there doing this for, like, what's important for you, your family,
21:48your mama, whatever.
21:50Keep you going.
21:50Like, that's what you need to do.
21:52Focus on.
21:53My dad has never got to see me play college football.
21:56So, having a big game will just show him that I'm just out here to take care of business.
22:01That I'm doing what I said, you know, I'm going to do as a person, as a captain, as a
22:04leader.
22:05Just keep making me proud.
22:06Every way I can.
22:07I can't win a game by yourself.
22:09I can't win a game by myself.
22:10We need everybody game.
22:15no pain, no gain.
22:17We got it over here.
22:18Stay in your lane.
22:19We got it over here.
22:19Stay in your lane.
22:20Yeah.
22:21We're about to get it hotter than in propane.
22:22Yeah.
22:23Undereximate it, but we not.
22:24See you tomorrow.
22:25See you tomorrow.
22:26Yeah.
22:27First, we came.
22:28Than we saw.
22:28Than we conquered it all.
22:30Come on, Charlotte.
22:31Good to see you, bro.
22:32Freeway.
22:33Freeway.
22:34This Norfolk State, Delaware State game, this is something major for both HBCUs.
22:40The city of Philadelphia put on an event to give an award
22:44to both of these amazing coaches.
22:46I'm so proud of Coach Vic and Deshaun.
22:50We ain't supposed to be talking right now.
22:52Y'all know we ain't supposed to be talking right now.
22:54This event with Delaware State, it's about changing lives.
22:59It's about taking advantage of the opportunity.
23:01I think both institutions did that.
23:03Tomorrow, man, it's a huge opportunity for the world to see us, man.
23:06Like, I love this dude to death right here.
23:07We're enemies right now, but on a bigger scale, honestly, man,
23:11I looked up to Mike growing up.
23:12I just want to say I appreciate everybody that was a part of this, right?
23:15We made it happen.
23:16Everybody, look, I just want to say it's going to be a great game,
23:19and so let's keep this movement going.
23:21Good looking, brother.
23:22Woo!
23:22Yeah!
23:23Hello.
23:24Let me go look at my game plan for tonight.
23:32As a team, these moments are special,
23:35so got a little treat for them.
23:36Man, we're going to go to the Philadelphia Eagles facility,
23:39stop by the stadium first,
23:40and we're going to check out the indoor facility
23:43where we practice at, do our walkthrough,
23:45and kind of calm their nerves a little bit
23:47and let them see things that they don't normally get a chance to see.
23:52Let's go. Let's go. Let's go.
23:54Let's go.
24:01Y'all boys ain't never seen no stadium before.
24:04Just being able to take the whole moment in as family
24:07and knowing that we came out here to prove something.
24:09Opportunities like this don't come too often,
24:11so especially being at HBCUs.
24:13When you see it on TV, once you're really there,
24:15especially when no one's in the stadium,
24:17it makes it seem a lot more achievable.
24:18It felt like we were preparing to go to the next level.
24:21The fact that they get to walk through an NFL stadium
24:23that he was such a dynamic quarterback at
24:25and see his face on the billboard like that,
24:27that energizes these guys like no other.
24:33Let's go.
24:33We need our best players on the field.
24:37Seeing that this is possible.
24:39You can touch this grass.
24:40You can do this.
24:41You capable.
24:43What more could you ask for as an HBCU player?
24:46Be ready.
24:47Nice. Good job.
24:49Go!
24:51You look around and see where we at, man.
24:53This place was a blessing for me.
24:55Like it could be a blessing for you.
24:56And I talk to y'all about discipline, dedication, hard work.
25:00This is what it leads to.
25:02I used to have to watch my grandmother scrub toilets.
25:05That was my motivation.
25:06Man, you a quarterback.
25:07Why are you running down no kickoff?
25:08Because I want this.
25:10I was able to retire my grandmother
25:11coming from a Division II school.
25:13They ain't just talk, but I put in the work.
25:15My mom worked two, three jobs when I was growing up.
25:17Like, my coach, he asked me, what's my why?
25:19I said, my mother.
25:21Whatever your why is, that's what you remember.
25:23Don't do this shit for coach.
25:24Do it for your why.
25:25That's what means more to me than anything.
25:26My mom.
25:27Appreciate that, fellas.
25:28And if you look right there,
25:30that was my why in life.
25:33Wins and losses, man.
25:34It's about bringing the heart.
25:36It's about being dedicated.
25:37It's about loving this shit.
25:39The attitude that you bring to the game,
25:41bro, this shit can change your life, bro.
25:43It's right there in front of you.
25:44Anything is possible.
25:45It just felt so special being in there.
25:48We felt privileged.
25:49We felt honored.
25:50And that'll be the motivation.
25:51I don't like to use the word hope.
25:53I tell our team if we want to go into a game
25:55knowing that we're going to win
25:56and not hoping to win.
25:58Give it everything you got, DeMar, man.
25:59They ain't giving us a chance in hell.
26:01And let's see you laughing when it's all said and done.
26:03Hey, win on the U.
26:04Win on the U.
26:05NSU.
26:05Win!
26:08I believe.
26:08I believe.
26:09Let's go win this game, baby.
26:10Let's go.
26:10I want to give a lot of love and respect to Jack Hand, Vic.
26:12This has become a very physical game.
26:15Oh, hey!
26:16You see that?
26:23DeSean and I might be going against each other,
26:25but we at Good Morning America
26:27with my good friend, Michael Strahan.
26:30Man, having a chance to promote this game
26:32on the national stage.
26:33I hope it don't rain tonight.
26:34That's what we're playing to y'all favor.
26:39We pass.
26:42It's a privilege to be on this stage, man,
26:44and to be able to share this with DeSean.
26:46It's really a monumental moment.
26:48It's for the HBCU community.
26:49Hey, hey.
26:50You see this?
26:52What's going on?
26:52What's going on, man?
26:53I miss you, man.
26:53I miss you, brother.
26:55To have Michael Vick,
26:57people recognize Norfolk State in ways
26:59that they might not have known before.
27:01This is an opportunity to level up the university.
27:06You guys, I'm here now
27:07with Michael Vick and DeSean Jackson.
27:10You're inspiring so many young men out there.
27:12What's it like to be facing off against each other
27:15as friends and also former teammates?
27:18You know, who knows how long it's going to last,
27:20so we're going to make it count
27:21while we've got an opportunity
27:22and think we're going to enjoy every minute of it
27:24and we're definitely going to talk trash to each other.
27:26You know that.
27:26You're going to talk trash as you should do.
27:29These football players, most didn't go to HBCUs,
27:32but to be able to come back and get back to HBCU,
27:35to the culture, I love it because I'm a product of that.
27:39When you have Michael Vick show up, put him on the map.
27:43All right, question.
27:44What's the biggest surprise that you found?
27:46For me, it's just being able to, like, after my first game,
27:50I was like, okay, I can do this.
27:52So you could feel, like, your experience of playing.
27:56Yes.
27:57And being in those situations.
27:58It comes into play, for sure. It helps.
28:00I love being around Michael.
28:01I love being around DeSean,
28:03but it's time to go get my guys ready
28:05and get them prepped up, ready to go for this game
28:07and just mentally prepared for this one.
28:09All right, man. Good seeing you.
28:10Yeah, you can see you soon.
28:11I miss you, brother.
28:12All right, man.
28:15We are currently at the Lincoln Financial Caleo
28:18for the Norfolk State versus Delaware State game,
28:20but it's not a regular conference matchup.
28:22It's a Philly showdown.
28:24Good times.
28:25Mike Vick versus DeSean Jackson.
28:27Back like we never left.
28:29For me to be able to go back and play at Lincoln Financial
28:32with my team, with my guys, and allow them to experience that.
28:37Let's go, Guam. Handle your business.
28:38It means more than anything to me as a coach.
28:41National stage. You can't beat that. Lock in.
28:45Going into the Dev State game, we knew they was looking down on this.
28:48We heard that they was going to put 50 on our head.
28:50We got to just ball.
28:51I got to go 100% every time for my best friend, Justice.
28:55Let's go!
28:57I want to give a lot of love and respect to Jack and Vick
29:00for taking the opportunity to go and pour into these kids
29:03at the HBCU and doing what they're doing
29:05and showing the love and support that there is.
29:08A lot of respect to them, man.
29:10Whoo! Whoo! Whoo!
29:12What's going on?
29:12No fighting, no bad skies today.
29:14I'm going to whoop his ass.
29:17We're dead last in the nation and penalties.
29:19They're right behind us.
29:20This game's going to come down, dude.
29:22Whoever doesn't beat themselves.
29:24Going to Dale State, I'm looking to have a great game.
29:26It's really not even for me.
29:28It's for my pop.
29:29There's no pre-snap and post-snap penalties.
29:32Don't beat ourselves.
29:34The hype around this game is big now.
29:35To play in the NFL stadium,
29:37a lot of people don't get that chance.
29:38I want to go out there and showcase my ability to the NFL.
29:42Let's go!
29:43Put them fours up.
29:44Because that's what it's going to take.
29:46Four quarters of football.
29:47They're going to know.
29:48The Norfolk State Spartans showed the up.
29:51With all the people, all the history,
29:52everybody in this stands, a pack house, man.
29:54I just want to do right by them.
29:55I just want to go win this game.
29:57I don't get the break.
29:57Let's go get up.
29:58And jump in on the U!
29:59Jump in on the U!
30:00And that's you!
30:01Jump in on the U!
30:01Go win this match!
30:02Four quarters.
30:03Give me four quarters of concentration.
30:06I've been waiting for this shit.
30:11Yeah!
30:13Let's go.
30:14I've been waiting for this.
30:15I prayed for times like this to be able to go out there
30:18and perform on that field, at that stage,
30:20in front of those eyes.
30:22You never know who was in the stands that game.
30:24Get the energy up, baby.
30:25Let's go, man.
30:26One point at a time, baby.
30:27And we're underway.
30:28He's Sean Jackson's highly favored Hornets already driving deep into Spartans territory
30:33Keep the energy up baby, keep the energy up
30:36Third down looking to strike first
30:38They take the snap, he's rolling right and hammered behind the line of scrimmage
30:42By day we're long, the Spartans will hold them to a field goal
30:45Great job, dude
30:46After that third drive, man, I feel like we were outwilling them
30:49The guys are starting to get confident that we can win it
30:52Offense, let's go, offense
30:54Spartans at midfield, Coombs looking into the flat for Gavon King
30:57And King will turn it up field, make one man miss
31:00Make another move and pick up 20
31:04Coombs takes the snap, drops back looking down the middle
31:06Where he finds J.J. Evans for the touchdown
31:08And Coach Vic Spartans are fired up in Philadelphia
31:13We knew they were going to come in thinking they were going to beat us by 30, 40 points
31:17And we can catch them off guard
31:19And a missed extra point
31:21Man, you can't do that
31:23The special teams continue to be a problem for the Spartans
31:26We got to win
31:27We got to win
31:28This is the second
31:29This is the second
31:30Where have you been?
31:33Sean Jackson's Hornets back on offense
31:35Let's go, C
31:36Let's go, C
31:37The quarterback drops back
31:39Pressure coming from the outside
31:41And he's flung into the turf by Kyrene moister
31:44Got him, Kyrene
31:45Yes, sir. That's how we doing, baby.
31:48Man, that sack felt good, man.
31:50Don't let me catch you out there.
31:52To do it on that stage, on a team that we really need to get home on,
31:56the work that I've been putting in paid off.
31:59Spartans with the lead. Back to punt from their end zone.
32:01Oh, no, it's blocked. And it's going to be recovered by the Hornets.
32:05Four touchdowns. Shit, man. That hurt.
32:08The kicking game has been very frustrating for me
32:11being a special teams coordinator.
32:12It's about the guys applying what I teach them throughout the week
32:15and going into the game and not letting the moment be too big.
32:18I think the moment has been too big.
32:20I can't believe we just did that.
32:21It's going to be a second-half game.
32:23I told you it was going to be a full quarter game, didn't it?
32:26We're going to win this. We could. We could, baby.
32:30If we do more of the first three drives, we win the game, all right?
32:34You blow off the hook a few times.
32:35F*** that, man.
32:36Just try to do your job. Dominate your assignment.
32:39Hey, put them fours up.
32:40We need to just finish the game how it's supposed to be finished, man.
32:43We came out first half. We smacked them in the mouth.
32:46They didn't expect that.
32:47I told you I was going to be a full quarter game.
32:49Now all I need is two more strong quarters, I believe.
32:52I believe. I believe. I believe.
32:54I believe. Let's go win this game, baby. Let's go.
32:56It's our game.
32:57Here in the third quarter in the showdown of rookie coaches,
33:01this has become a very physical game.
33:03Everybody worked hard, especially when I was out there.
33:06We were playing hard.
33:07I just wanted to give this one to our coach.
33:09Yes, sir.
33:11Neither team is backing down,
33:12and 50,000 fans in Philadelphia are loving every minute.
33:17I'm real proud of these guys, man.
33:19They're playing extremely hard. They're not giving up.
33:21They're stopping to run. They're maintaining focus.
33:23Let's just see if they can keep it up.
33:25Oh, hey, you see that?
33:27Things are getting even more chippy out there,
33:29and that's Kyrie Moisin right in the thick of things.
33:32That's a face mask.
33:33Look, just keep your composure, man.
33:35Let them disqualify themselves.
33:37I'm getting held all game.
33:39Pulling me by my helmet, pushing me in my back.
33:41They're just basically able to do whatever they want to do.
33:43And then once we do something, it's a flag.
33:46It's crazy.
33:48Let's go, Mikai. Be ready.
33:50Hornets back to pass.
33:52Down to the sideline.
33:52The catch is made wide open.
33:54In the end zone.
33:56Mikai Frisbee just out on the same page as the other defenders.
34:00Who was that? Who was that off?
34:02Giving up that pass made me mad,
34:04but it was never no sense in any of our heads that we were going to lose that game.
34:06Pressure's on. Pressure's on.
34:09Barrett down from the 25.
34:10Time is running short for the Spartans.
34:12They need something big right now.
34:15Cones in shotgun.
34:16He's looking deep down the left side for Evans.
34:19And oh. My. God.
34:34And it's going to be caught.
34:36And he's going to run it in for a touchdown.
34:39An amazing play by J.J. Evans.
34:41That's the game.
34:43It was definitely a relieving feeling.
34:45Knowing we needed a touchdown.
34:47We needed a little break.
34:48And we got it right there.
34:50Spartans have to get a stop here.
34:52The Hornets in the shotgun.
34:54Hand the ball off.
34:55And the back is going to break free.
34:57Oh. Can't let him get loose.
34:58And no one is going to stop him.
34:59Touchdown Delaware State.
35:01When things start to go wrong.
35:03It's really easy to give up.
35:05It's really easy to not believe.
35:07And we definitely felt confident that we could still win.
35:10Coons and the Spartans driving down the field.
35:12They refuse to quit on this game.
35:14Good job.
35:15Coons takes the snap.
35:17Goes to his right.
35:18And he finds Drayshon Kendrick for the touchdown.
35:23You can go onside.
35:25Under a minute left.
35:26And it all comes down to an onside kick.
35:29If the Spartans recover, they'll still have life.
35:38And the Hornets recover the kick.
35:40Damn.
35:41Today the Spartans show all kinds of heart.
35:43But they'll lose today's game in a heartbreaker.
35:45Play good.
35:46Play this spot.
35:47We're going to win these last three.
35:49Losing that game, it really sucked just because we were in the game the whole game.
35:53And especially wanting to give one to our coach.
35:58That's a testament to the guys.
35:59Y'all got what it takes.
36:00Y'all just got to find a way to not do stupid things to lose the game.
36:07What?
36:08Y'all got some credit, man.
36:09You got to be disciplined, man.
36:11You got to keep...
36:11We love you more.
36:12We love you, bro.
36:13It's hard losing to a friend.
36:15Deshaun telling me my team had to be more disciplined.
36:17It's like, yo, you tell me something I don't know.
36:20But this is just the beginning.
36:21And we're going to play each other again.
36:24And we're going to keep getting better each and every year.
36:27They got a way.
36:28They got a way.
36:30Who tripping?
36:31Who tripping?
36:32You lost so many games in a row, and then you lose a game in that manner.
36:37You'd be feeling like it's the last straw.
36:38I ain't never.
36:41I ain't never.
36:42I ain't never.
36:43I ain't never.
36:44Come on, Dan.
36:44It's my last one.
36:45Y'all can see me right now.
36:46Because I don't care.
36:47I can do with my man.
36:48Hell no, coach.
36:52What happened after the game was really just a build up of everything, man.
36:57Hey.
36:57No, no.
36:58Tell me.
36:58Show me.
37:00Show me.
37:01Hey, look.
37:02We all done been a part of wins and losses.
37:04Brother, whether you win or you lose, it's going to be emotional, man.
37:09It always hurt when you lose.
37:11We might not win every game.
37:12But what I'm going to do is find the right guys who want to be here, like they alone,
37:17who care, who's going to cry.
37:19Losing hurt, man.
37:20It hurt.
37:21But ain't a loss is a lesson.
37:23It's a lesson every time.
37:25Every time.
37:29Sometimes you show more emotion than you should.
37:31The next three weeks, I'm on a winning attitude.
37:35That team, they thought they was going to run right through us.
37:39Negative.
37:40They barely escaped.
37:41It's all there for you.
37:42Take it all in stride, man.
37:44The good and the bad, all right?
37:45Come on, man.
37:46Let's get a break and get up out of here.
37:47Come on, man.
37:48Come on, Dan.
37:48Come on, Dan.
37:50Our Father.
37:51Child in heaven.
37:52Child in heaven.
38:01Man, Cam, man.
38:03Nobody said it was going to be easy.
38:04I just told them that.
38:06They played a hell of a game.
38:07Yep.
38:07Playing in Lincoln Financial Field.
38:09Whoever thought that we would be able to pull this off?
38:11Almost 50,000 people in Lincoln Financial to get the coverage that we got.
38:15It goes to show the impact that we had.
38:17There's a lot to be proud of.
38:19For us moving forward, it's just about getting better.
38:21I just loved how they kind of bridged the gap between college football, professional
38:25football, fans all over, and brought everyone together in one space.
38:29People that would never tune in otherwise, they're sitting at home.
38:32They're watching the game.
38:33They're like, oh, let me learn about Norfolk State.
38:34Let me learn about Delaware State.
38:35It's a good buzz creator, a good interest creator for both programs.
38:38The media exposure helped build our programs out.
38:41You could see us growing, and that's here.
38:44There's definitely a growth.
38:46Chief's been a magnifier in this particular program.
38:50When you have Michael Vick, bring any type of attention to HBCU culture.
38:55It's the most important thing.
38:57And I hope it opens a lot of eyes that there are a lot of great things out there at
39:01HBCUs
39:02that we should be loving and supporting.
39:04It warms my heart.
39:07Even though we didn't get the win, for us to be able to experience being here
39:11and feeling all the love in Philadelphia, it makes me a proud wife.
39:15The eyes and the recognition that was given to HBCUs that night was uncanny,
39:20and so I'm very thankful that I was a part of that.
39:23I like the way you played today.
39:25I love the way you played.
39:26They played hard.
39:28They played hard.
39:28They played hard.
39:30After the one back, we have an altercation on the field.
39:33We being ourselves.
39:35Yo, yo, stay back, stay back, stay back.
39:37Marco Beery the kick.
39:39And it's blocked.
39:40It's blocked.
39:41Bam.
39:42That shit is embarrassing.
39:43Maybe my time has come to an end.
39:45I can't take this shit no more, man.
39:47Otto, you just gotta step up, put the team on his back.
39:50You gotta get some wins if you want this future to be bright.
39:56Oh, my God.
40:13You have a nice.
40:27Bye.
