2010 VMI Football Post-Spring Prospectus

2010 Season Preview OFFENSE The Keydets will move away from the triple option offense they have employed the last three years for a Pro-Set offense installed in the spring.The new offense will emphasize spreading the field and ball-control while minimizing turnovers. VMI returns 17 offensive letterman and six players with starting experience from a year ago.The Keydets must replace playmakers and all-conference performers Tim Maypray (QB), Howard Abegesah (RB), and George Handler (OL). Quarterbacks - The quarterback job will be determined in fall camp with leading candidates Cam Jones (R-Jr.-Austin,Tex.) and redshirt freshman Adam Morgan (Sutherland,Va.). Jones is the only returning quarterback who has taken a snap in a college game and performed well in limited action last year. Jones was credited with outstanding effort by coaches for his play in both the Army and ODU games when rushed three times for 100 yards including a 68-yarder that set up a score against Army, when he threw a 13-yard touchdown pass. He followed up with a 69-yard run the following week against Old Dominion and produced the second and third-longest runs of the year by a Keydet. Morgan also took a healthy dose of snaps in spring ball and showed potential as a playmaker.The former Virginia State Player of the Year has good mobility and a lively arm. Redshirt freshman A.J. Augustine (St. Petersburg, Fla.) also worked out at QB in the spring and will be battling for a spot in the two-deep. Tailbacks/Fullbacks - Four experienced runners from last season return to the mix and will now shift their skills to the new tailback position. Redshirt junior Julian Bowers (Richmond,Va.) emerged as the frontrunner for playing time at tailback. Bowers was a key positional switch in the recent spring drills as he moved from linebacker to running back in the new offense and adapted well to the change, as he returned to the side of the ball where he began his college career. Two other lettermen returning to the backfield and competing for playing time are senior Gabe Itoka (Reston,Va.) and redshirt junior Chaz Jones (Cleveland, Ohio). Itoka has the most experience of any returning

running back and carried 21 times for 90 yards and a touchdown last season. Jones played in the first five games of the season before sustaining injury in the Coastal Carolina game and having his season shut down. The fullback slot should fall into the hands of redshirt sophomore Hardy Temoney (Wilmington, N.C.) who sat out last season but is ready to go after an outstanding year of strength and conditioning in the weight room.

Presbyterian games and played a seasonhigh 73 snaps against Coastal Carolina. Depth at tight end could come from a pair of players who have yet to see action - redshirt freshman Mario Thompson (Newport News,Va.) and redshirt-sophomore Robbie White (Midlothian,Va.).

Offensive Line - The offensive line took significant steps in the spring to building and developing the depth necessary to compete at a high level. Of the 10 offensive linemen listed in the two-deep, seven have starting experience, including all of the starters listed as at the top of the depth chart. The tackle positions will definitely have the "Peach State" look and will be manned by junior Rob Bailey (Bonaire, Ga.) and Aaron Blue (Lawrenceville, Ga.) with depth coming from sophomore Phillip Pickens (Norcross, Ga.) and redshirt junior Steven Hite (Smyrna, Ga.). Junior center D'Angelo Smith (Ellenwood, Ga.) will become the starter at center and try to fill the void left by Handler, while redshirt freshman James Snyder (Alpharetta, Ga.) will provide backup at the center slot. The guard position features three-year senior starter Bo Wren (Gainesville, Ga.) and converted center and redshirt junior James Boatright (Grayson, Ga.) who is looking to bounce back from shoulder surgery that limited his season last year. Depth on the O-Line will come from a trio of redshirt freshmen - Robert Collins (Roanoke,Va.), James Snyder (Alpharetta, Ga.), and Andrew Patrick (Norcross, Ga.). Tight End - The tight end position will have a significant and expanded role in the new Pro-Set offense, placing even more demands on blocking and pass catching skills. Three-year letterman Josh Favaro (Suwanee, Ga.) eagerly awaits the challenge after serving as spot starter and special teams contributor in each of the previous three years he lettered. Favaro stepped into the starting role at tight end making starts in the Richmond, Gardner-Webb, and

WR Mario Scott is VMIâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top returning receiver.

Wide Receivers - The wide receivers group should be the most re-energized positional group as their pass catching roles will be showcased as much as their blocking ability in the new offense. Seniors and three-year lettermen Mario Scott (Staunton,Va.) and Bryan Barnson (Chesapeake,Va.) bring the most experience to the receivers and each have starting experience. Scott is the leading returning receiver from a year ago, and hauled in 14 catches for 237 yards and three touchdowns a year ago. Barnson finished third on the team with 11 catches for 183 yards. He also made eight starts mostly at wideout, after entering the season as a slotback in the option offense. Depth at receiver corps will come from two defensive player transfers - sophomore Stefawn Ross (Bealton,Va.) who played outside linebacker last year, and converted cornerback and redshirt junior Tracy Hairston (Martinsville,Va.). Redshirt sophomore Aaron Lewis has big-play capability and is also looking to make a contribution, while former running back T.J.Talley has impressed in recent workouts at the wideout position, and could play a role this year as well.

2010 VMI Football Post-Spring Prospectus

DEFENSE The defense boasts 10 starters returning to a unit that should showed steady improvement with another year under the 3-4 defensive alignment under the belt.The Keydets particularly showed improvement in stopping the run, ranking second in the Big South Conference in run defense, averaging 146.8 yards allowed per game.VMI will now look to improve and bring similar numbers in pass defense, where a veteran secondary returns among the 16 letterwinners coming back to the defensive unit.

yards) and 2.0 sacks (15 yards) and had a season-high nine tackles against Coastal Carolina with a sack for eight yards. Depth on the defensive line should come from sophomores Charlie Jones (Hampton, Va.) and Shawn Chapman (Cocoa, Fla.). Jones saw plenty of action as a true freshman at nose tackle while Chapman served on special teams in his first season of action. Outside Linebackers - Generating a significant pass rush and turning plays inside continues to be the focus of the outside linebackers group. Returning to the fold are all-conference pick Emilio Calvin (R-Jr., Woodbridge,Va.) and redshirt junior Kris Ware (Chesapeake,Va.). In 2009, Calvin ranked third on the team in tackles with 66 and led in tackles-for-loss with 9.0 for 37 yards and also ranked 13th in the Big South Conference in tackles per game (6.0), while tying for fifth in tackles-for-loss per game (0.2).Ware had impressive numbers as well, moving to outside linebacker from strong safety before last fall camp and played in all 11 games seeing 584 snaps.Ware had 34 tackles and was third on the team in tackles-for-loss with 6.0 for 22 yards and led the team in sacks with 4.0 for 15 yards. Redshirt junior Alex Ray (Roanoke,Va.) and redshirt freshman Chris Harper (Richmond, Va.) also look to be in the two-deep picture at outside linebacker.

Senior DL Josh Wine was a preseason AllBig South Selection.

Defensive Line - The D-line is likely in the best shape it has been in years with the entire starting front returning for the second straight year.The trio consists of senior nose tackle Josh Wine (Fredericksburg,Va.) and ends Ben Brandt (Forest,Va.) and Damiso Alexander (Richmond,Va.).Wine was a second team All-Big South Conference pick in 2009, and led the Big South down linemen in tackles with 63 (5.7 per game) and had four tackles-for-loss for 11 yards and 1.5 sacks for 4 yards. Brandt, who tested as the best conditioned Keydet football player in spring drills, had 6.5 tackles-for-loss for 36 yards that was second on the team and led the defensive unit with five quarterback hurries. Alexander, who has turned in some key big plays during his career, was second among defensive linemen in tackles with 36 total tackles including 4.5 tackles-for-loss (25

Inside Linebackers - The inside linebackers return all personnel from 2009 and should be deeper in depth as redshirt freshmen work themselves into the mix. Starters Eric Church (R-Jr.- Louisa,Va.), and A.J. Gross (R-Jr.-Waldorf, Md.) return to play as a duo for the second consecutive year. Church finished with 55 tackles including 4.5 tackles-for-loss for 16 yards and led the team with three fumble recoveries. He started the season with a year-high 13 tackles and two tackles-for-loss for 11 yards including a sack against Robert Morris and was Big South Defensive Player of the Week. Gross is starting for the third consecutive year and is a former All-Big South honoree who could contend again for postseason recognition.

Secondary - The defensive backfield will see many familiar faces again with three starters returning among the four positions. Redshirt senior Byron Allen (Massaponax, Va.) will start at free safety and junior Trae Watkins (Lynchburg,Va.) will patrol strong safety. Junior Greg Walker (Waldorf, Md.) is projected as a starter at one cornerback. Allen was named 2010 second team All-Big South Conference and ranked second in the Big South Conference in tackles per game (9.3). Allen also led Big South Conference defensive backs in tackles per game in both overall and conference games.Watkins has his season shortened because of injury last year, but is looking forward to a big year while Walker will give the secondary experience and leadership. Other lettermen in the defensive backfield include junior cornerback Juan Thrasher, (Carrolton,Texas) who should see time at strong safety. Sophomore cornerback Michael Johnson (Richmond,Va.) should see game action at strong safety. One new face in the secondary that could be a difference is transplanted receiver Michael Rainey-Wiles (Pittsburgh, Pa.) who was moved in the spring to cornerback after three years at wideout. Rainey-Wiles will give the secondary ample speed and agility to make plays at the demanding cornerback position where he is projected as a starter. Special Teams - The Keydet kicking teams play should be improved with all lettermen returning including all-conference punter and senior Marc Ray (Greenville,Va.). Ray led the Big South Conference in punting with a 38.9 yards per punt average and nailed a season-long punt of 56 yards in the opener against Robert Morris, where he averaged 50.0 yards in three punts with two punts of 50+ yards and two punts inside the 20. Placekicker Jeff Sexton (So.-Memphis,Tenn.) and kickoff specialist Cameron Murray return to handle their respective chores on special teams along with sophomore long snapper Logan Sorenson (Suffolk,Va.). All should be improved after a year of seasoning.

Depth at inside linebacker will come from junior Josh Sneed (Lawrenceville, Ga.) and sophomore Weston Reber (Huntersville, N.C.).

Key Games Versus 2010 Opponents Nov. 5, 1977 vs.Virginia - The Keydets scored their second straight win over Virginia with a 30-6 triumph in Charlottesville.VMI got going with a long pass by quarterback Robbie Clark (who accounted for three TD’s), a 78-yard touchdown strike to Johnny Garnett midway through the first quarter, as the Keydets led 23-0 at the half and never looked back. Oct. 26, 1985 vs.William & Mary - The Keydets earned their most dramatic win over the Tribe, prevailing in a 39-38 thriller in Lexington. Quarterback Al Comer had three touchdown runs, including a three-yarder as time expired, and wide receiver James Wright ran in the winning two-point conversion with no time remaining. Oct. 11, 2003 vs. Charleston Southern - VMI scores a 50-7 win over the Bucs at Alumni Memorial Field, sparked by a 37-point outburst in the second half. Leading 13-0 at the intermission, the Keydets added a touchdown on a 70-yard interception return for a touchdown six minutes into the third quarter, and went on to the easy victory. Since this game,VMI has dropped five of six to CSU. Oct. 1, 2005 vs. Liberty - In a game that featured just over 300 yards of total combined offense, Liberty kicker Zac Kolegue hit the upright on a 28-yard field goal attempt with 47 seconds remaining, sending VMI to the 10-7 win, its only win over Liberty in Lynchburg.This game would mark the start of a winless Big South season for the Flames, and a 1-10 overall record that would prompt a coaching change. Since this game, Liberty has scored seven points or fewer only once. Oct. 22, 2005 vs. Gardner-Webb - In the longest game in Alumni Memorial Field history, Gardner-Webb hung on for a 55-52, triple overtime win over the Keydets. It was VMI’s first overtime loss in the program’s history, but was not decided until quarterback Jonathan Wilson’s pass was batted down and intercepted to end the final extra period. Nov. 14, 2009 vs. Army - After losing the previous three meetings by a combined 101 points, the Keydets went into Michie Stadium and took a 17-16 lead on the opening play of the fourth quarter, before falling late, 23-17. Just before the game-winning touchdown, a crucial third-down call was overturned via video replay, allowing the Black Knights to keep possession with nine minutes to go. One play later, they notched a 17-yard touchdown run that VMI could not overcome.

2010 VMI Football Post-Spring Prospectus

2009 Game Recaps Keydets Triumph in Season Opener, 14-13 LEXINGTON,Va. - A late touchdown run by Tim Maypray and ensuing extra point by newcomer Jeff Sexton gave VMI an exciting 14-13 win over Robert Morris in the season opener for both teams at Foster Stadium on Sept. 5. The Keydets fell behind for the first and only time in the fourth quarter when the Colonials engineered a 12-play, 85-yard drive that was capped by a one-yard TD pass from Desmond Brentley to fullback Jeff Link that put RMU on top, 13-7, with 6:22 left in the game. But the ensuing extra-point try was unsuccessful when kicker Garrett Clawson's boot was partially blocked by VMI defensive end Damiso Alexander, forcing the redirected kick to ricochet back off the cross bar.The failed PAT try spoiled the Colonials best drive of the day that produced three consecutive third down conversion tries and a 39-yard strike to wideout Sherrod Evers to the VMI 1 which set up the go-ahead score one play later. The Keydets then took the ball at their own 24-yard line and drew a false start penalty on their first snap of the decisive drive.VMI then went to its base attack, pounding out a 13-play, 79-yard possesion that was executed entirely by Maypray and senior fullback Howard Abegesah rushes. Abegesah churned out 63 yards on seven carries on the drive including a 31-yard jaunt to the RMU 37.The Beltsville, Md. resident later slammed ahead eight yards to the RMU 5 that set up Maypray's option keeper to the end zone that tied the game at 13-13 with 1:27 remaining in the fourth quarter. Maypray's lower left calf immediately cramped up after the score, forcing a nearly three-minute pause that gave true freshman kicker Jeff Sexton plenty of time to ponder the ensuing tie-breaking PAT.The extended wait didn't faze Sexton, who split the uprights to put the Keydets up for good and give them their fifth straight season-opening win - all at Alumni Memorial Field at Foster Stadium. Robert Morris took possession with all three time outs remaining but saw their final possession stall at its 37-yard line when Brentley's fourth-and-three dump pass to halfback Myles Russ fell incomplete in the left flat. The game was scoreless after one half thanks to good defense and squandered offensive opportunities by both sides.VMI committed three turnovers in the opening half on two fumbles and an interception, but the Colonials failed to convert any of the miscues into points. VMI took a 7-0 lead with 13:25 in the third quarter when red-shirt sophomore defensive end Emilio Calvin smothered an errant shotgun snap in the RMU endzone marking the second straight season opener where the Keydet defense produced points. Alexander scooped up a fumble and raced 46 yards in VMI's 49-0 win over Saint Francis (Pa.) to start the 2008 season. Robert Morris got on the board when Brentley connected with Evers for a 14-yard TD with 9:43 left in the third quarter - capping a six-play, 73-yard drive that was highlighted by a Russ 34-yard scamper to the VMI 35. VMI attained a 322-267 advantage in total offense for the game, but the Colonial defense was able to hold the Keydets to 297 yards on the ground and 25 yards passing.The Keydet defense held RMU to 5 of 15 in third-down conversion opportunities and 0 of 3 in fourth down tries. Defensively,VMI was paced by redshirt-sophomore linebacker Eric Church who had 13 total tackles including 10 in the opening half. Allen added 11 stops including seven solos.

Rockeed McCarter (168 yards receiving) and Mike Caussin (145) each caught a pair of touchdowns for the Dukes (1-1), who were led by Drew Dudzik's 214 yards passing.

The Keydets (1-1), meanwhile, totaled just 178 yards of rushing offense, the team's lowest output under second-year head coach Sparky Woods. Senior quarterback Kyle Hughes surpassed the 2,000-yard career passing mark on a 67-yard pass to Bryan Barnson in the second quarter, while Tim Maypray became just the fifth Big South player with 30 career touchdowns early in the fourth. After VMI's opening drive stalled at the JMU45, the Dukes marched 78 yards in nine plays, capping the drive with a one-yard scoring plunge by Sullivan on fourth down. The Keydets answered early in the second quarter, as Jeff Sexton booted a 32-yard field goal to bring the margin to 7-3. JMU's Scotty McGee returned the ensuing kickoff 64 yards, setting up a 37-yard field goal by Dixon Wright. The Keydets followed with a first down before an illegal procedure violation on a 4th-and-1 forced a punt. JMU needed only one play on the next drive to double the margin, as Drew Dudzik's 65-yard pass to Caussin brought the score to 17-3 in favor of the hosts. Not to be outdone, the Keydets fired up their own passing attack, as Kyle Hughes found Bryan Barnson for a 67-yard connection on the next play from scrimmage, setting up VMI at the JMU 3. Two plays later, Michael Rainey-Wiles punched in his first touchdown of the season from four yards out, bringing the visitors to within a score at 17-10 with just over six minutes remaining in the half. A 48-yard return by McGee put the Dukes back in business in VMI territory on the following kickoff. The second connection from Justin Thorpe to McCarter of the drive gave the Dukes a 14-point advantage, while a McCarter catch of Drew Dudzik's pass with six seconds remaining provided the halftime score of 31-10. After the Keydets opened the half with a stop on fourth down, the offense marched down the field with a nine-play, 44-yard drive before the team's first turnover of the day, a fumble by Howard Abegesah. A 26-yard scoring pass from Dudzik-to-Caussin, advanced the margin to 37-10, however the extra point try was unsuccessful for JMU. VMI scored its final touchdown of the contest early in the fourth quarter, as Maypray snagged a swing pass from Hughes with one hand and scampered 13 yards to paydirt. The Keydets, however, muffed the snap on the extra point, leaving the score at 37-16. A 19-yard scoring scramble by Thorpe with 6:36 remaining in the contest provided the final margin. VMI was led on the ground by Abegesah's 79 yards, while Corwin Acker's 60-yard effort paced the Duke ground-gainers. Defensively,VMI got a team-high nine tackles from Byron Allen, while Josh Wine matched a career-best effort with eight stops. Kris Ware, meanwhile, netted the team's only two sacks of the contest, the first pair given up by JMU this year.

Keydets Fall at #1 Richmond, 38-28 RICHMOND,Va. - VMI forced three turnovers and posted a season-high 325 yards of total offense, but #1 Richmond walked away with a hard-fought, 38-28 victory in non-conference action at UR Stadium on Sept. 26. Quarterback Kyle Hughes led the Keydet offense, passing for 141 yards and two touchdowns while rushing for 133 yards and two more scores. It marked the first time a VMI player had rushed and passed for over 100 yards in nearly two years, since Hughes did so against Robert Morris back on Sept. 29, 2007. The Spiders (4-0), meanwhile, won their 13th-straight contest, advancing their own school record and extending the longest current win streak in the Football Championship Subdivision. Richmond signal caller Eric Ward passed for a career-best 394 yards and three touchdowns, while Donte Boston (125 yards) and Tre Gray (112 yards) each cleared 100 yards receiving. Justin Forte rushed for a game-high 152 yards for the Spiders in the last meeting at UR Stadium between the long-time rivals. The visiting Keydets (1-2) drew first blood in the teams' 86th meeting, as Hughes connected with Tim Maypray for a 44-yard hook-up. The score came one play after Keydet linebacker Josh Sneed collected a Ward fumble. The completion allowed Maypray to break the Big South record for career all-purpose yards, as he passed former Keydet Sean Mizzer for the league record. The Spiders answered on the ensuing drive, pounding out a nine-play, 63-yard drive that included a 29-yard completion from Ward to Boston on 3rd-and-24. Forte tied the contest on the next play, as his nine-yard scamper put the defending National Champs on the scoreboard. After a Keydet drive stalled just inside of Richmond territory, the Spiders, keyed by a 38-yard run by Forte, needed just seven plays to cover 86 yards to move ahead, 14-7. The score came on a 17-yard strike from Ward to Gray, while the Spiders doubled that margin less than two minutes later, when Ward found Boston for a 53-yard score to push the margin to 21-7. VMI countered before halftime, using a 51-yard Hughes-Barnson pass play to reach the red zone, before Hughes found Mario Scott for a nine-yard scoring strike that brought the visitors within a touchdown at 21-14. That was how the score remained at the intermission, as the Spiders failed on a 33-yard field goal attempt by Andrew Howard just before halftime. At the break, Richmond held a 297-195 advantage in total yards, having passed for all but 50 of those yards, but were limited by two Ward turnovers, including a late interception late by Keydet freshman Michael Johnson. The Spiders wasted no time moving ahead in the third quarter, using four snaps to go 66 yards for an insurance score. Following a 44-yard completion from Ward to Gray,Tyler Kirchoff found paydirt from five yards out to make it a 14-point contest. A 34-yard field goal by Howard five minutes later gave the Spiders their largest lead of the day at 31-14. The Keydet offense once again answered. Following a fumbled punt return by Richmond's Derek Hatcher,VMI embarked on its longest drive of the day, an 11-play march that took over five minutes off the clock. Rushing on 10 of the drive's 11 plays,VMI cashed on when Hughes plunged in from a yard out. The extra point, however, was blocked, leaving the score at 31-20 with 1:37 remaining in the third quarter. After the Keydets stopped the Spiders on the ensuing drive, a roughing-the-punter penalty gave Richmond new life. With Ward passing for 65 of the drive's 83 yards, the Spiders pushed their lead to 3820 on a 13-yard completion to Kevin Grayson with 9:38 remaining on the clock. Again,VMI would not go quietly. On the second play of the next drive, Hughes scampered 66 yards for VMI's longest run of the season. The Williamsburg native then took matters into his own hands once again on the two-point conversion, rushing in to bring the Keydets within 10 points at 38-28 with 8:46 remaining. The Spiders, however, controlled the ball for over six minutes the rest of the way, as VMI's only remaining drive stalled out deep in its own territory. For the second straight week, safety Byron Allen led the Keydet defense in tackles. The redshirt sophomore totaled 11 tackles (four solo, seven assists) in the game, while Greg Walker added 10 stops from his cornerback position.

Keydets Edged by GWU in Thrilling Conference Opener

GWU (3-1, 1-0) VMI (1-3, 0-1)

LEXINGTON,Va. - Gardner-Webb forced four turnovers and survived a late VMI drive to earn a thrilling 27-23 win over the Keydets in the Big South Conference opener for both schools, played Oct. 3 at Foster Stadium. Leading by four with 1:03 left, Gardner-Webb lined up to punt.VMI's Greg Walker was able to elude a blocker and lay out to block Graham Purvis' punt.The ball bounced off Walker's hands and away, allowing VMI to take over at the Bulldogs' 29 with under a minute to go.The Keydets drove the ball to the visitors' nine, but threw three consecutive incompletions to close out the game and allow GWU to escape with the thrilling victory. The Bulldogs, who came into the game with a plus-nine turnover margin, forced three VMI fumbles and grabbed an interception on one of the game's crucial plays, a pick at the goal line with four minutes left. GWU converted two of the VMI miscues into scoring drives, and also survived 250 all-purpose yards from Tim Maypray, including the second-longest punt return in school history, an 86-yarder late in the third quarter. GWU won the toss and chose to receive, but the opening drive did not go the Bulldogs' way. After three unsuccessful plays, the snap on the ensuing punt went through the legs of GWU punter Purvis.The ball rolled into the endzone, where Purvis picked the ball up and was tackled by Trae Watkins and Bryan Barnson. The safety,VMI's first of the year, made the score 2-0 Keydets just 82 seconds into the game. The Keydets advanced that margin just before the first quarter expired, thanks to a 10-play, 80-yard drive that included a pass on a fake punt that went for 31 yards from Marc Ray to Eric Church. Two plays later,Tim Maypray found the endzone on an off-tackle rush.The score was Maypray's 32nd career touchdown, giving him sole possession of second place on the all-time VMI list.The run and resultant extra point made the score 9-0,VMI, as the first quarter drew to a close. Doolittle was picked off on the next possession, as Juan Thrasher stepped in front of a pass to give VMI the ball at the GWU 44.The Keydets were forced into a three-and-out situation, and the visitors took advantage with an impressive drive.The Bulldogs went 82 yards in 15 plays, chewing up 5:17 on the game clock, and ended the drive with a Doolittle touchdown pass to James Perry III from two yards out.The touchdown and extra-point cut the Keydets' lead to two, 9-7. After a Kyle Hughes fumble on the next possession, GWU marched down field and took a 10-9 lead just before halftime on a 36-yard field goal by Ryan Gates. After a Keydet punt opened the second half, GWU went 45 yards in nine plays, driving all the way to the VMI 3. However, Gates hooked a field goal attempt wide right, keeping the score 10-9. VMI took over at its own 20, and needed less than three minutes to retake the lead. Zach Collins ran for 16 yards on first down, and after five more rushing plays, Kyle Hughes found Mario Scott down the left sideline for a 41-yard touchdown reception. Jeff Sexton's extra point was good, and the seven-play, 82-yard drive had given the Keydets a 16-10 lead at the 8:02 mark. The Bulldogs nearly fumbled the ensuing kickoff, but were able to recover.That was to their benefit, as they went 57 yards in just over two minutes, cutting the lead to three on a Gates 44-yard field goal, 16-13. After a Keydet punt, the VMI defense forced a three-and-out with under a minute left in the third period. Maypray found a seam down the middle, cut the ball back to the home sideline and outran punter Purvis for his first career punt return touchdown and the first by a Keydet since the 2000 season.The touchdown and point after made it 23-13 Keydets at the end of three periods, but the game was far from over. Doolittle took over on GWU’s next drive, as the senior QB went 6-of-8 for 53 yards and also had a 12yard run, leading the Bulldogs on an 11-play, 75-yard drive that ended with a Patrick Hall one-yard touchdown run.The point after made it 23-20,VMI with 10:58 to play. The Keydets got the ball back, and after a Howard Abegesah rush, Kyle Hughes tried a run.The VMI senior was stripped of the football stepping back from center and the Bulldogs' Matt Goods fell on the ball at the VMI 24. After Doolittle went 1-for-2, bringing up third down, the Keydets were whistled for a pass interference penalty on an incompletion at the 22 yard-line.The flag gave GWU a first down, and after two running plays, Hall scored on a rush and Gates tacked on the point after to give the visitors a 27-23 edge with 11:09 left. VMI went down the field slowly, using a ball-control drive. From the 43, Hughes dropped back to pass and was looking deep for Bryan Barnson.The ball was slightly underthrown and GWU’s Darren Rogers made a diving interception with 4:01 remaining, thwarting the VMI scoring opportunity.The visitors then ran nearly three full minutes off the clock, setting the stage for the blocked punt and late-game drama. GWU’s seventh-consecutive win over VMI was sparked by Doolittle, who was 32-of-51 for 301 yards and a touchdown. Receiver Perry III had 11 catches for 139 yards, and Hall ran for two scores for the Bulldogs.VMI was paced by Maypray's 250 all-purpose yards in the losing effort.

Football Comes Up Short at Coastal Carolina, 20-6 CONWAY, S.C. - VMI's bid for a second straight gridiron win over Coastal Carolina fell short Saturday as the Keydets were outlasted by the Chanticleers, 20-6, on a warm, humid Oct. 10 night at Brooks Stadium. The Keydets dropped to 0-2 in Big South Conference play and 1-4 overall while Coastal Carolina opened its conference schedule with a victory and claimed its third straight home game to go 3-2 overall on the season. The Chants also avenged their worst Big South loss delivered by the Keydets in Lexington last year, 47-20. Coastal Carolina outgained VMI, 418-213, and held most of the total offense advantage through the air with 245 yards to the Keydets' 75 passing yards.The teams were nearly even on the ground with CCU posting a slim 173 to 168 margin. Coastal quarterback Zach MacDowall completed 14 of 20 passes for 207 yards and a touchdown to and running back Eric O'Neil added 78 rushing yards on 13 carries to spark the home team attack.

VMI converted just 5 of 18 third down conversions while Coastal Carolina made good on 8 of its 13 third down tries.The Keydets did, however, convert four of six fourth-down opportunities. VMI opened the game with its most impressive drive of the year -moving 81 yards in 17 plays with 16 snaps consuming steady yardage on the ground and 7:10 off the clock.The Keydets converted three of four third down conversions and one fourth down try on the march. Hughes capped the possession with a oneyard TD endzone dive over a pile, but Jeff Sexton's extra point attempt was blocked and VMI led 6-0 with 7:50 left in the opening quarter. . Coastal answered with a six-play, 74-yard scoring drive that produced a 41-yard touchdown pass from a scrambling Zach MacDowall to Adrian Sullivan with 5:44 left in the period.The extra point boot by pushed the Chants ahead, 7-6. Each team squandered scoring chances by coughing up the football on its next possession.VMI moved to the Coastal Carolina 29 before a fumbling halted the threat.The Chants returned the favor by losing a scoring opportunity at the VMI 10 when redshirt sophomore Byron Allen smothered a Chant fumble. The remainder of the first half played out with each defense holding the upper hand.VMI was forced to punt three times after a trio of three-and-out possessions.The Keydet defense forced the Chants to punt twice before the clock sent the teams sent to the halftime break with CCU holding its one-point advantage.

But a fumbled snap for a one-yard setback followed by a Michael Rainey-Wiles sweep run that netted just one yard halted the drive on downs and snuffed out the Keydets' best chance of the night to pull even. VMI forced Coastal to punt on a three-and-out and took over at its own 37 with 3:07 left, but had an 11-yard pass to senior back Tim Maypray to the VMI 49 called back by a procedure call.The Keydets were flagged for an illegal shift one play later, and Hughes was picked off by linebacker Adrian Jacobs who returned the interception 22 yards to the VMI 13 with 1:36 left.

After VMI had driven 69 yards in eight plays to take a 20-19 lead, Stony Brook responded with a 31-yard kickoff return by Matt Brevi, bringing the ball to the VMI 49. Seven plays later, the Seawolves were in the endzone after a Conte Cuttino 13-yard run. The resultant two-point conversion gave SBU a 27-20 lead with just 52 seconds remaining. The Keydets got the ball back and drove into Stony Brook territory, but Kyle Hughes was sacked with seven seconds to go, and a desperation heave was intercepted to erase any hopes of a VMI rally.With the win, Stony Brook moves to 3-4 on the year and 2-0 in the Big South, while VMI drops to 1-5 overall and 0-3 in conference action.

The spurt was capped by a four-yard touchdown toss from Coulter to Brevi, who hauled in the pass despite being blanketed by a pair of Keydet defenders.The reception and point after gave the Seawolves a 13-7 lead, and they regained possession deep in VMI territory less than three minutes later following a second Keydet fumble. Appearing to take control of the game, Stony Brook drove to the Keydet 4, where the Seawolves faced a 4th down and inches with 4:38 left in the half. A handoff to Conte Cuttino was stopped deep in the backfield, creating a turnover on downs and giving the ball to the Keydets.The home team was forced to punt, however, and the visitors took advantage. A half-concluding, seven-play 44-yard drive ended with a Wes Skiffington line drive field goal, giving the Seawolves a 16-7 halftime lead. The teams were scoreless during the third quarter, and the fourth period began with VMI driving, trailing 16-7. On the first play of the final quarter, Maypray broke free for a 30-yard touchdown run, the 35th score of his career.The extra point cut the Keydet deficit to two, 16-14, with 14:53 left. After an exchange of punts, Stony Brook took over at their own 43 with 10:43 to play. After completions of 24 and 21 yards, the Seawolves had first-and-goal at the VMI 5. The Keydet defense held once again, stopping Cuttino for no gain on first down before forcing two incompletions. Skiffington then converted a 21-yard field goal to put the visitors up 19-14 with 6:47 remaining. It also marked his 12th field goal of the season, giving the redshirt-freshman sole possession of the school's single-season record. After the ensuing kickoff, the Keydets took over at their own 31, and on the first play of the drive, Howard Abegesah scampered 22 yards to the SBU 47. Hughes followed with a 10-yard run of his own, and one play later, the VMI senior completed a 28-yard pass to Michael Rainey-Wiles, who made a spectacular sliding catch at the Seawolves' 6. After a first-and-goal rush by Hughes got the ball to the SBU 1, the senior quarterback was stopped for no gain on a pair of sneaks, bringing up fourth down. This time, Hughes went over the right side and in for the touchdown, though a failed two-point conversion attempt left the score 20-19 with just 2:56 remaining. After Brevi's long kickoff return, Stony Brook took over at the VMI 49.Two rushes by Cuttino moved the ball to the 37, and set the stage for three consecutive passes to Towns that pushed the drive to the VMI 13. On the next play, Cuttino ran around the left end and into the endzone.The two-point pass made it 27-20 SBU, and set the stage for one last try for VMI. The Keydets moved the ball to the SBU 35, and took their first timeout of the half with 17 seconds to play. An incompletion and a sack forced VMI to use another timeout, and set up a third-and-16 at the SBU 41 with seven seconds left. Hughes fired a deep pass down the home sideline, but Chris Richards made a leaping interception to end the game and seal the Seawolves' win.

Ground Game Rolls As Football Tops PC, 31-20 CLINTON, S.C. - Senior running back Howard Abegesah (Beltsville, Md.) rushed for 165 yards on 25 carries and scored three touchdowns and VMI's spread option attack rolled up 504 yards total offense as the Keydets spoiled Presbyterian College's homecoming with a 31-20 win over the Blue Hose Saturday afternoon, Oct. 24, in Clinton, S.C. The win snapped a five-game skid for the Keydets and gave them their first road victory since the 2007 season and their first Big South Conference road win since a 10-7 win over Liberty on October 1, 2005.VMI moved to 2-5 overall and 1-3 in the Big South while PC fell to 0-7, 0-2 BSC and saw its losing streak extended to 10 games. The Keydets piled up a season-high 424 yards rushing and averaged 6.1 yards per rush on the afternoon. Abegesah posted his 11th career 100-yard rushing game and was joined over the century mark threshold by senior quarterback Kyle Hughes who gained 108 yards on 13 carries. It marked the first time this season that VMI had produced twin 100-yard rushers in a game and the first time since senior back Tim Maypray and Abegesah performed the feat in a 41-27 win over PC in the season finale at Foster Stadium last season. VMI overcame four turnovers with two takeaways (both interceptions) and limited Presbyterian College to 36 yards rushing.The Blue Hose generated 302 yards passing, but the Keydets held a commanding 36:37 to 23:30 advantage in time of possession and limited PC to 4 of 13 in third down conversion attempts. VMI never trailed in the contest and jumped to a 7-0 lead on its second possession of the first quarter when Tim Maypray sliced in virtually untouched from the PC 1 capping a 10-play, 73-yard drive that was keyed by a 17-yard rush by junior slotback Michael Rainey-Wiles and Abegesah's 41 rushing yards. A 16-yard interception returned to the Presbyterian College 16 by redshirt junior safety Kyle Nikmard set up the first of Abegesah's three scores - a one-yard burst that pushed VMI's lead to 14-0 with 2:05 remaining in the first quarter.The Keydets fumbled the ball away on their next two possessions, the later setting up a fake 46-yard field goal try that was converted to a 27-yard touchdown pass from Myron Gray to Parker Fleming that halved the PC deficit to 14-7 with 4:26 left I the second quarter. VMI responded quickly with a lightning burst two-play, 82-yard drive that opened when Hughes rambled 45 yard option keeper to the PC 37 followed by a 37-yard straight ahead burst to the endzone by Abegesah to push the VMI lead to 21-7 at halftime. The Keydets had piled up 251 yards rushing by intermission averaging just over eight yards a crack on running attempts in the first half and far surpassing the 214.2 rushing yards per game average heading into the game. VMI extended the lead to 28-7 late in the third quarter following a bizarre turn of events that saw a 15play, 54-yard drive end on a block field goal attempt only to see the Keydets get the ball back on the same play when PC's Darryl Ash coughed up possession of the ball at the Blue Hose 21-yard line after scooping and returning 10 yards after the block. An alert Terrell Lynch smothered the ball giving VMI new life.Two plays later, Abegesah raced in from 12 yards out for his third rushing touchdown of the day. Presbyterian pulled within 28-14 with 12:20 left in the fourth quarter when quarterback Tim Webb, who had relieved PC starting QB Brandon Miney, completed five-of-six passes for 59 yards and helped engineer a nine-play, 90-yard drive that ended with a Trandon Dendy two-yard TD rush. But the Keydets chewed off more precious fourth quarter time with a nine-play, 66-yard drive that was sparked by Hughes 35-yard pass to Mario Scott to the PC 46 on the first play of the possession. A 15-yard facemask penalty at the end of the play further aided the drive.VMI had to settle for a 32-yard field goal by Jeff Sexton to push the lead to 31-14 with 6:52 remaining. Presbyterian again turned to a gadget play to produce its final score when receiver Sam Wilson executed a hook-and-ladder flip to teammate Sean Adegola who raced 68 yards to the VMI 1. Lance Byrd slammed in for the touchdown one-play later but the extra point was missed. Down 31-20, PC attempted an onsides kick, but the Keydets recovered at the Blue Hose 45-yard line and ran three plays before fumbling the ball away near mid-field. PC quickly converted a 23-yard pass to Adegbola to the VMI 30 and moved to the VMI 10, but a seven-yard sack of Webb by senior defensive end Pat McKinney forced a 34-yard field goal attempt by Aaron Mayes that sailed wide right and squelched any hopes for a homecoming comeback. Defensively, the Keydets generated six tackles-for-loss and was led by redshirt sophomore Emilio Calvin who posted nine total tackles including four for loss totaling 18 yards.

Charleston Southern Bests VMI, 31-21 LEXINGTON,Va. - Charleston Southern earned its first Big South win of 2009 as they defeated VMI 31-21 in a Big South Conference football contest played Saturday afternoon, Oct. 31, at VMI's Foster Stadium in Lexington,Va. After a contest that featured three ties and multiple lead changes, CSU took command in the fourth quarter. An early field goal gave them the lead for good, and a VMI turnover led to a 12-yard touchdown run by B.J. Hackworth that accounted for the final margin. With the win, Charleston Southern moves to 3-5 overall and 1-2 in the Big South, while VMI falls to 2-6 and 1-4 in conference action.The Bucs' victory is their fourth-consecutive win over the Keydets, and the visitors won despite allowing 335 rushing yards to VMI, including 160 to Howard Abegesah. CSU quarterback A.J. Toscano was 19-of-24 for 193 yards, and completed passes to eight different receivers as the Bucs earned their first Big South win of the season. The Bucs mounted a 10-play drive to start the game, but could only move the ball 33 yards and turned the ball over on downs after failing to convert on fourth-and-one from the Keydet 33.VMI then took over, and after one play, Kyle Hughes scampered 66 yards around the left end for a touchdown. Jeff Sexton's extra point put the Keydets up 7-0 with 5:30 gone by in the opening quarter. The visiting team made a statement on the next drive, as after starting at their own 10, the Bucs mounted a 13-play, 90-yard drive that ended with a six-yard touchdown run by Toscano. After the extra point, the score was tied, 7-7 with 3:31 remaining in the first period. VMI had possession as the second quarter began, and quickly went three-and-out. Marc Ray nailed a punt to midfield, and the Bucs' Antwan Ivey brought it back 50 yards for a touchdown.The point after gave Charleston Southern its first lead of the day, 14-7.The Keydets answered with a six-play, 80-yard drive that took place entirely on the ground, and ended with three consecutive Abegesah runs. A 46-yard dash down the home sideline ended the push, as the senior running back found the endzone with 10:57 left in the half. Sexton added the extra point to square the contest, 14-14. On the ensuing kickoff, the Bucs' special teams once again mounted a large return. Antwain Harvey ran Tyler Tucker's kick back 50 yards, and the visiting team took over at the VMI 36. It went for naught, as Toscano fumbled when hit by Josh Wine. Juan Thrasher recovered for the Keydets, and VMI took over at its own 17 and began a 10-play, 74-yard drive. The Keydets' push chewed up more than five minutes on the clock, with a 29-yard Abegesah run being the key play as VMI drove to the CSU nine. From that yard marker, Michael Rainey-Wiles took the ball around the right side. He was hit at the Bucs' nine-yard line and fumbled, with the ball popping up in the air. CSU's Matt Bach grabbed it out of the air and returned it to the VMI 48, and the Bucs took advantage with a nineplay, 52-yard drive that ended in a touchdown run by Ivey with just 28 seconds left on the clock.The extra point was good, and CSU took a 21-14 lead into the locker room. The second half was scoreless until the 4:14 mark of the third quarter, when a Howard Abegesah sixyard touchdown run, his second of the day, ended a nine-play, 73-yard drive.The key play of the drive was a 35-yard pass from Hughes to Rainey-Wiles. Sexton's point after knotted the score at 21. On the opening play of the fourth quarter, Bucs' kicker John Paglia was wide right on a 33-yard field goal attempt and the game remained tied at 21.The Keydets went three-and out, and CSU marched down the field once again to give Paglia another chance.This time, the junior converted an 18-yard field goal to give the visitors a 24-21 lead with 6:10 to play. The Keydets ran two plays on the next drive before turning the ball over, as Hughes was picked off under heavy pressure from the CSU defense. Andrew McKain picked off the VMI quarterback, and two plays later, Hackworth found the endzone from 12 yards out, putting CSU up 31-21 with just under five minutes to go.VMI got the ball at the back well inside its own territory, but four consecutive running plays failed to lead to a first down and the Keydets never threatened again. Defensively,VMI was led by Byron Allen with 11 tackles, while A.J. Gross and Josh Wine each added 10. Fred Godfrey and Chris Patrick each had nine stops for CSU, while McKain had eight tackles and the day's lone pick.

#16 Liberty Knocks Off VMI, 54-14 LYNCHBURG,Va. - The #16 Liberty Flames took advantage of eight VMI turnovers and defeated the Keydets 54-14 in VMI's Big South season finale, played Saturday evening, Nov. 7, before a crowd of 15,208 at Williams Stadium in Lynchburg. The eight turnovers were a season-high for the Keydets, as the six fumbles and two interceptions led to 30 Liberty points.VMI's Byron Allen and Trae Watkins had careerhigh tackle numbers for VMI in the loss, as Allen had 17 stops while Watkins had 11.The 17 stops were the most in a single game by a player in the Big South this season.The Keydets also outgained Liberty in total yards, 335-334. The Keydet offense got off to an excellent start, as Kyle Hughes galloped 26 yards on the first play from scrimmage.Two plays later, Hughes found Mario Scott down the visitor sideline for a 48-yard touchdown pass.The reception was the longest of Scott's career, and just 1:17 into the game,VMI held a 7-0 lead. However, that advantage was short-lived. On the kickoff following the score, Liberty's Aaron Hewlett brought the ball all the way back for a touchdown.The score was the first kickoff return touchdown given up by VMI since last season's game with Ohio, and was the first such score for Liberty this season. The first quarter continued to go back and forth, as the Keydets went 48 yards in just four plays and appeared to be poised to retake the lead. On a first down from the Liberty 13, Hughes tried a handoff to Howard Abegesah, but the ball popped up in the air. Liberty's Chris Rocco recovered, and the Flames took over at their own 17 just two minutes into the opening quarter. Liberty then went 58 yards in 12 plays to get the ball inside the 10 yard line, but the home team committed three consecutive penalties to force a third-and-25. Quarterback Tommy Beecher found Chris Summers for 12 yards, setting up a 42-yard field goal by Matt Bevins that put the home team up 10-7 with 5:44 left in the opening period. After a VMI punt, Liberty also had to kick it away. On that play, Stefawn Ross broke through the Liberty line for a punt block, which was VMI's first punt block on the road since Oct. 14, 2000, meaning that each of the last 12 VMI blocked punts had come at home. On the next VMI drive, Maypray fumbled on the LU 19 and the Flames recovered with 13:13 left in the first half. After a Liberty punt, the Keydets took over at their own 32.Two plays later, Hughes' swing pass was high and bounced off the hands of Bryan Barnson. Liberty's Ian Childress snared the deflection and returned it 32 yards for a touchdown, putting the home team up 17-7. The Keydets tried to battle back, but an eight play, 55-yard drive went for naught when T.J.Talley was stopped on 4th and 1 at the Liberty 4. A Flames' punt gave the ball back to VMI, but another fumble put the ball back in the hands of the home team with 2:54 left in the half. Liberty tacked on another touchdown, as Mike Brown scrambled in from three yards out to make the halftime score 24-7, LU. The first half stats belied the 17-point Liberty lead, as the Keydets outgained the Flames 245-158 in the opening two quarters, while the margin on the ground was even larger, 182-66 for VMI.The four VMI turnovers were the difference, as the Keydets fumbled three times and were intercepted once. Liberty quickly marched down and added to its lead to open the second half, tacking on a 38-yard field goal by Bevins at 8:52 to make it 27-7.The Keydets kept themselves in it, responding with a nine-play, 60-yard drive that took just 3:23. Maypray ran it in from one yard out, cutting the VMI deficit to 27-14.The run moved Maypray into second place on the all-time VMI career points scored list, with 222. The score remained 27-14 after three quarters, but Liberty added a touchdown early in the final quarter to push its lead to 34-14.The Keydets had four turnovers the rest of the way, leading to 13 Liberty points. All told, the home team outscored the visitors 27-0 in the final quarter, accounting for the final margin. Maypray and Scott accounted for VMI's touchdowns in the senior class' final Big South game, as Maypray gained 87 yards on the ground while Scott had 69 yards receiving.

Army Slips Past VMI Football, 22-17 WEST POINT, N.Y. - Army junior slotback Patrick Mealy’s 17-yard touchdown run with 8:58 remaining in the fourth quarter helped Army rally past VMI, 22-17, on Nov. 14 at Michie Stadium in West Point, N.Y. The Black Knights held off VMI’s upset bid and snapped a three-game losing skid while moving to 4-6. The Keydets, who had knocked off Army just once in the 14-game series history, fell to 2-8 on the year. VMI had taken the lead on the first play of the fourth quarter when senior running back Howard Abegesah rumbled 44 yards for a touchdown and Jeff Sexton’s extra point lifted the Keydets to a 17-16 lead.The score culminated a second half that saw the VMI offense come to life while the special teams produced a crucial takeaway that led to another score. Abegesah led VMI in rushing with 111 yards on 24 carries and a touchdown and produced his 13th career 100-yard game. Redshirt sophomore quarterback Cam Jones entered the game in the third quarter and rushed for 100 yards on three carries and tossed a touchdown pass. Mealy led all ground gainers with 136 yards on 16 attempts with a touchdown. Army freshman quarterback Trent Steelman completed 11 of 14 passes for 174 yards and a touchdown and 6-10 senior wide receiver Ali Villanueva hauled his seven receptions for 119 yards and a score. In a battle that pitted two of the top rushing attacks in the country,VMI outgained Army 328-186 on the ground, but the Black Knights held the advantage through the air, 174-19.The Black Knights also held the advantage in time-of-possession, 31:24 to 28:36. Both teams were perfect on red-zone scoring chances with Army converting four-of-four inside the redzone while the Keydets capitalizing on its two red-zone chances. The VMI defense racked up nine tackles for loss for 55 yards on the day and redshirt sophomore A.J. Gross led the defensive charts with nine stops. Redshirt junior defensive tackle Ben Brandt had two tackles-for-loss for seven yards. After an exchange of fumbles on each team’s opening possession, Army got on the board first when Steelman lofted a timing pass in the left corner of the endzone that Villanueva snatched to put the Black Knights up, 7-0, with 5:33 left in the first quarter. Army built the lead to 10-0 late in the first half when sophomore placekicker Alex Carlton booted the first of three field goals on the afternoon at the 4:20 mark of the second quarter, a 28-yard effort that capped a drive aided by a pass interference and offsides infraction flagged against the VMI defense. A 14yard third down conversion pass from Steelman to Villanueva to the VMI 17 helped set up the score. VMI’s offense had trouble getting on track in the first half seeing its first four possessions of the game end on a fumble, downs (Army 33-yard line), and two punts. The Keydets trailed 10-0 at the break, but a rejuvenated offense under Jones gave VMI the spark it needed to climb back into the game.VMI took its opening drive of the second half 92 yards on six plays and was keyed by a 68-yard Jones dash down the right sideline to the Army 18. Three plays later, Jones flipped a 13-yard scoring strike to senior slotback Tim Maypray that put the Keydets on the board at the 12:21 mark of the third quarter. Sexton’s extra point was good and the Keydets trailed 10-7. Army return man Damion Hunter was drilled by VMI’s T.J. Talley on the ensuing kickoff and coughed up the football which was recovered by VMI’s Julian Bowers at the Army 27.VMI ran the next seven plays that covered 16 yards, and had to settle for Sexton’s 28-yard field goal that knotted the score, 10-10, with 9:07 left in the third quarter. The Black Knights added Carlton third quarter field goals of 41 and 37 yards to take a 16-10 with 55 seconds remaining in the period. After VMI took its only lead of the game following Abegesah’s fourth quarter TD run, both teams exchanged punts before the Black Knights assembled what would be the game’s decisive scoring drive that was marked by a crucial video replay overturn that worked in Army’s favor. On a third-and-nine from the VMI 39, a 22-yard boundary pass from Steelman to Villenueva was ruled incomplete for being out-of-bounds.The video replay official called for a review as Army’s punt unit was lined up on the field ready to kick the ball away back to the Keydets, and after several minutes of review, the call on the field was overturned, extending the Black Knights' possession. One play later, Mealy scored on a 17-yard cutback rush to put the Black Knights up for good. An ensuing two-point conversion run was unsuccessful. The Keydets saw its final two possessions end on downs, the final penetration halted at the Black Knight 34 as Jones pass to wideout Mario Scott fell incomplete inside the Army 10 with 20 seconds remaining.

ODU Wins Shootout Over VMI, 42-35 LEXINGTON,Va. - Old Dominion's Thomas DeMarco threw for two touchdowns and ran three others, accounting for five of the Monarchs' six touchdowns on the day and leading ODU to a 42-35 win over VMI Saturday afternoon, Nov. 21, at Foster Stadium in Lexington,Va. The two teams combined for nearly 1,000 total offensive yards on the day, as ODU had 496 yards while the Keydets piled up 444. DeMarco threw for 245 yards and two touchdowns for ODU, completing a gamehigh five passes to Reid Evans. The 8,132 fans in attendance saw a contest in which VMI never led, but ODU never had more than a 14-point lead. Zach Collins ran for 103 yards on just five carries for VMI, as the senior had the longest TD run of his career, a 71-yard jaunt. With the loss,VMI closes its season at 2-9, while Old Dominion ends its first season of FCS football with a 9-2 mark.The Monarchs' 9-2 record is the best first-year record for an FCS startup. On VMIâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opening possession,Tim Maypray fumbled on a third-down run to give Old Dominion prime field position, and they took advantage with a 27-yard touchdown pass from DeMarco to Nick Mayers.The extra point was good to give the Monarchs a 7-0 lead less than four minutes into the game. Off the ensuing kickoff,VMI quickly answered. A 31-yard T.J.Talley run gave the Keydets an opening, and two first downs later, Gabe Itoka finished off the eight-play, 60-yard drive with a one-yard plunge. Jeff Sexton's extra point tied the score, 7-7. After an exchange of punts, Old Dominion took advantage of a fair catch interference call and the resultant field position to go 56 yards in nine plays for the go-ahead score. DeMarco finished it off with a one-yard run, and the Monarchs led 14-7 at the 3:35 mark of the opening period. The Keydets fired back again, as Howard Abegesah had a 46-yard rumble down to the ODU 13. One play later, Kyle Hughes found the endzone with a three-yard run to knot the score once again, 14-14. ODU took over late in the quarter and started an 11-play, 75-yard drive to find paydirt once again. DeMarco found Evans three times on the drive, including for a four-yard touchdown to give the Monarchs the lead right back, 21-14.VMI scored again, thanks to Taj Harris' first career touchdown, a run from three yards out, but Old Dominion closed out the first half scoring with a two-yard run by DeMarco at the 7:15 mark and took the 28-21 lead to the locker room. On the opening drive of the second half, ODU turned to a bit of trickery once again. James Edwards took a direct snap on a fake punt executed on 4th-and-10 and ran 45 yards around the left side, finding the endzone to put the Monarchs up two scores for the first time, 35-21.That two-score lead lasted just 21 seconds, as Collins went 71 yards on the first play of VMI's next drive to notch the longest touchdown run of his career. Sexton's point after cut the margin to 35-28, ODU. On the Monarchs' next possession, Julian Bowers stripped DeMarco and Greg Walker fell on the fumble, but VMI could not find the tying score. A 15-play, 80-yard drive then put the Monarchs up by two scores once again, as DeMarco accounted for his fifth touchdown of the day with a 16-yard scamper.The run gave the visitors a 42-28 lead with 3:57 left in the third period. VMI responded early in the fourth, as Cam Jones galloped 69 yards to set up a one-yard run by Hughes, cutting the deficit to 42-35 with 13:10 to play.The teams then combined to punt on three straight possessions, giving VMI the ball with 4:50 to play.The Keydets went down the field and made it to the ODU 32 as the clock came up on a minute, but a pass by Jones on fourth down was incomplete, giving ODU the ball, and the Monarchs ran out the clock for the win. The Keydets were paced by Collins' 103 yards and Abegesah's 87, both of which came in their final career game. A.J. Gross recorded 12 tackles on the defensive side, while the Keydets came up just two yards shy of their season high in rushing, as they ran for 422 yards on the day.

VMI Football History & Traditions

KEYDETS AND KANGAROOS No, the Keydet is not a kangaroo, although the term "Keydets" has been used over the years to refer to VMI's athletic teams and the kangaroo has become the established mascot. The kangaroo was adopted as VMI's mascot in 1947 when two VMI cheerleaders saw a picture of a kangaroo on the front of the magazine and realized how uncommon the animal was as a mascot.The marsupial was originally named "TD Bound", but sometime later his identity changed to "Moe". VMI is one of only four colleges across the nation to have a kangaroo as a mascot, and only one of two schools among NCAA Division I institutions.The University of Akron's "Zippy" joins "Moe" as the only kangaroos in the Division I ranks. The source and/or meaning of the nickname "Keydets" is not as easy to find.The term began to catch on in the mid 1930's - prior to that time, the football team was referred to as "The Flying Squadron". A popular, but unproven, explanation of the word "Keydet" is that due to the Southern drawl of some of the members of the Corps of Cadets, the common term cadet was transformed into Keydets.There are, of course many other possibilities. Regardless of which explanation is correct, the word "Keydet" like kangaroo, will continue to identify VMI's athletic teams.

ance in September 1958, replacing the original Little John, which was retired to the VMI museum after the undefeated football season of 1957. The cannon presently used was designed by the late Col. Cary S. Tucker of the VMI faculty and is a three-fifths scale replica of a 1750 howitzer used in the Revolutionary War. It has a 20-inch barrel, which is adorned at the top by a shield from a cadet shako. The cannon is fired when the Keydets take the field, after a VMI score, and at the end of each quarter of play.

THE 12TH MAN Few football playing institutions can boast 100 percent attendance of its student body at every home game. At VMI, the 1,400 member Corps of Cadets is present to support the Keydets for every contest at Alumni Memorial Field - from the opening kickoff to the final gun. Approximately 45 minutes before kickoff on home game Saturdays, the Corps forms in front of barracks for the traditional pre-game marchdown to Alumni Memorial Field. The Corps is also responsible for the colorful and highly visible "spirit" sheets that are draped from Cocke Hall located across the street from the north stands of the stadium. Each company in the cadet Corps designs its own banner and the project is carried out from start to finish by the respective company's "rats", or freshmen.

ALUMNI MEMORIAL FIELD AT FOSTER STADIUM The home field of the Keydets was dedicated on October 15, 1921 in a game against the University of Virginia. In 1962, stands were constructed on the south side of the stadium, bringing total capacity to 10,000. VMI and The Citadel will resume their long-time battle for the Silver Shako in 2011.

VMI did not officially recognize football as an intercollegiate sport until 1891, but many games had been played by cadet squads before that time. KEYDETS IN THE PROS Eleven former VMI football players have risen to the professional ranks.The first was Bosh Pritchard "the Hopewell Hurricane" who played for the Philadelphia Eagles and New York Giants between the 1942 and 1951 seasons.The two most recent VMI football alumni to play professionally were Mark Stock, who played wide receiver for Pittsburgh, Washington and Indianapolis between 1989 and 1996, and two-time AllAmerican Thomas Haskins,VMI's all-time leading rusher, who played five seasons with the Montreal Alouettes of the Canadian Football League. Bobby Ross, who captained the 1959 VMI football team, distinguished himself as a coach in both the collegiate and professional ranks, served head coach of the San Diego Chargers and Detroit Lions, guiding the former to Super Bowl XXIX at the conclusion of the 1994. At the collegiate level, he coached The Citadel, University of Maryland, Army and Georgia Tech, winning a share of the 1990 national title at the latter. TWO UNDEFEATED TEAMS VMI has fielded two undefeated teams in its 114-year old football history. The 1920 football squad, the "Flying Squadron" under coach Blandy Clarkson, is VMI's only undefeated and untied team. In 1920,VMI posted six shutouts on the year and tore through the likes of Virginia, North Carolina, and a highly rated Pennsylvania squad coached by the legendary John Heisman.The team outscored its opposition 431-20. The 1957 squad under Coach John McKenna went 9-0-1, captured the Southern Conference championship, and attained a ranking as high as 13th in the nation before finishing at 20th in the final Associated Press poll.The team was also extended an invitation to play in the Sun Bowl. Clarkson-McKenna Hall, the football building adjacent to Alumni Memorial Field, honors both coaches by bearing their names at the front

FAMOUS ALUMNI PLAYED FOOTBALL General George C. Marshall,VMI's most distinguished alumnus and class of 1901, played left tackle on the varsity football team. Serving his country as both a soldier and statesman, Marshall rose to the rank of General of the Army and Chief of Staff during World War II, and his postwar achievements included ambassador to China, Secretary of Defense, Secretary of State, and the architect of the Marshall Plan. In 1953, General Marshall received the Nobel Prize for Peace. SCHOOL COLORS VMI's school colors are derived from the three colors that symbolized the three prominent branches of the United States Army. Dr. J.H. Campbell, a resident of Lexington and a distinguished graduate of the Institute, is credited with drawing on the significance of these colors and in 1886, wrote "Let red represent the Artillery,White the Infantry, and Yellow the Cavalry." The colors were gradually adopted for the athletic teams into the next century. VMI FOOTBALL AND THE SOUTHERN CONFERENCE Before joining the Big South,VMI was the oldest member in the Southern Conference and competed for the league crown for 78 years. VMI was admitted to the league in December, 1924 and captured seven league football crowns as a SoCon member. VMI won SoCon crowns in 1951, 1957, 1959, 1960, 1962, 1974 and 1977.
