Lexington, Va. – VMI returns home this Saturday after a tough road experience at nationally-ranked Wake Forest.
The Keydets dropped a 44-10 decision to the ACC contender, but there are plenty of positives to be taken from the experience as they return to action against F-C-S competition.
“Offensively I thought our backs went hard and offensive line did a decent job of past protecting, and so when you put that all together I thought we had a great day. And we held serve on special teams which is always a concern when you go play an FBS opponent, so a lot to be positive for. But first and foremost I thought our kids played with tremendous effort and we took the positives from the game that we showed to the players and said “hey --if we played like this all game long we’re gonna win a lot of ball games this year”. And then we corrected the things that needed to be corrected and then we got right on to Bucknell,” Head VMI coach Scott Wachenheim says.
