The Dragons' first score came when Norfolk State's Tremayne Talbert fumbled a punt and Keenan Smith recovered for the touchdown.

After Carter hit Talbert for a 21-yard TD pass, Lynchburg (0-7) scored its other touchdown, a 20-yard pass from Darrius Sample to Cinsere Clark as Norfolk State led 35-14 at halftime.
