The Ivy League has announced its football programs will compete in the FCS playoffs beginning next season.

Worst day ever.

VMI opens Rocco era with Davidson on Saturday

Vatican Museum restorers are working to remove centuries of grime from the largest known bronze statue of the ancient world: the gilded Hercules Mastai Righetti.

Wachenheim spent 8 years leading the Keydets to new heights in his tenure.

Jameson Wang threw two touchdowns — both to William Enneking — and Cornell held off VMI’s late rally for a 28-22 win on Saturday in the Big Red’s season opener.

Scott Wachenheim made some coaching changes in the spring, promoting former wide receivers coach Patrick Ashford to offensive coordinator, and hiring Nick Reveiz as defensive coordinator. After a spring of learning, the Keydets have put their knowledge to the test. Utilizing full pads on the sixth day of camp, and showing what they know during live periods Saturday morning.

The springtime sure has been good to the VMI Keydets. This time last year, they were working towards a Southern Conference title.

Montana State freshman quarterback Tommy Mellott accounted for four touchdowns to send the Bobcats to their first title game in 38 years with a 31-17 win over South Dakota State in a Football Championship Series semifinal game.

The 11-1 Dukes are no stranger to the FCS playoffs, and with an offense averaging 41 points a game, they’ve been hard to stop. The Grizzlies are also operating behind a high-powered offense, and I don’t think anyone will forget their first game upset over the Washington Huskies.

Seth Morgan passed for 248 yards in the Keydets loss.

Greg Seitz has been at Jacksonville State for nearly three decades, through a Division II national championship, conference titles and FCS playoff runs.

The Keydets are coming off of a historic spring after winning the Southern Conference Championship and earning their first FCS playoff berth in school history.

The expectations are certainly high for the 2020 Southern Conference Champions and the VMI Keydets are taking that very seriously. Former Patrick Henry Patriot Leroy Thomas says that heading into the season, this year VMI is no longer the hunters, but rather the hunted.

The Keydets are coming off that spring season SoCon title, and auto bid into the FCS playoffs.
VMI put four players onto the first team All-SoCon preseason team this fall.
First team honorees include senior receiver Jacob Herres, offensive lineman Marshall Gill, defensive back Ethan Caselberry, and Linebacker Stone Snyder. The Keydets are the defending champs but they are not the favorites to repeat, as the media has chosen them second and the coaches poll has them third.

The Dukes tallied 468 yards of total offense in the 34-21 victory.

VMI lost to No. 1 JMU in the first round of the 2021 FCS playoffs Saturday afternoon, 31-24.

The Keydets claimed the Southern Conference title this season for the first time since 1977.

This will be VMI's first appearance in the FCS Playoffs.

A late turnover cost the Keydets an opportunity for a comeback win.

Then came the expanded protocols and increased costly testing necessary to play upper-division schools during a pandemic. It is for the Huskies, who return senior standouts at all offensive skill positions after a school-record five wins last season. Houston Baptist made the 300-mile bus ride to Denton, Texas, for the season opener Saturday night at North Texas. The Southland Conference would require only once-a-week testing, but the Huskies have to follow the rules of their opponents' conferences. So it's a lot of different emotions, and certainly more running the gamut than in a normal year," North Texas athletic director Wren Baker said.

BLACKSBURG, Va. - The Virginia Tech Hokies got in the win column on Saturday after their 31-17 win over Old Dominion. The Paladins are consistently ranked in the FCS classification and they're running an offense Virginia Tech is familiar with. With a new coach at Georgia Tech this season, so long to stopping the Yellow Jackets triple option... and hello to Furmans'. We've had some experience with [it] at Georgia Tech." But Tech's defense has looked pretty stout and with years of facing Georgia Tech, they should have no problem stopping the run.
