VMI moves to 1-7 on the season after falling to Mercer at home on Saturday. Seth Morgan went 10-21 for 78 yards, the team only had 134 yards of total offense.

Roanoke native and Patrick Henry High School grad Leroy Thomas scored both second half touchdowns for the Keydets.

Sophomore QB Seth Morgan is working at his craft this spring, with a big improvement on his agenda.

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

The Keydets faught back to overcome an initial 21-0 deficit early in the second quarter.

Senior wide receiver Michael Jackson had 13 receptions for 177 receiving yards.

The Keydets trailed 38-20 before rallying back for the 46-45 victory.

VMI is in a good spot versus The Citadel this week with both starting quarterbacks healthy. Season starter Seth Morgan was injured two weeks ago against Cornell. Collin Ironside stepped in and has passed for four touchdowns in two games. Morgan has been cleared for Saturday, making both ready and available if called upon.

The Terriers and Keydets combined for 394 yards rushing.

The Keydets picked up where they left off in that historic spring season, earning a 45-24 victory.

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.

Wachenheim led the Keydets to a 6-2 overall record for the year, the program's first SoCon title in 43 years (1977) and the program's first-ever FCS playoff appearance.

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.
