Michael Vick issues stern warning to Norfolk State QB: “This is it, no more excuses”
Michael Vick isn't holding back as Norfolk State prepares to open its MEAC schedule - and his message to quarterback Otto Khuns is crystal clear. The Hall of Fame-bound former NFL star turned head coach believes the next stretch of games could define the young signal-caller's entire football journey."This is a very important five weeks for Otto," Vick said during the MEAC Coaches Call. "It's probably the most important five games of his life. He has a chance to define his story, write his own story, in the next couple of weeks."Khuns' story has already taken several unexpected turns this season.

But when Carter faltered early, Vick turned back to Khuns - and the […]
