NORFOLK, Va. — D’Vonn Gibbons threw for a touchdown and ran for a score behind a strong defensive effort, and Savannah State beat Norfolk State 27-9 on Saturday to snap a 10-game skid and win its first road game since Sept. 24, 2011. There was a moment of silence before the game for Norfolk State freshman defensive lineman Nicholas Ackies. Jaylen McCloud, 132 yards on 16 carries, scored the go-ahead TD on a 5-yard run in the third for the Tigers. Donald Rutledge picked off a fourth-quarter pass by Carter, leading to Nicholas Bentley’s 5-yard TD to cap the scoring. Savannah State topped Norfolk State for the second time in school history last season.
