VMI Football Prepares for Home Opener Against Bucknell
VMI will be led by first-year head coach Scott Wachenheim, who was hired in December after spending the previous five seasons as the head coach at FCS power Montana.
Wachenheim has brought a new energy and excitement to the VMI program, and he is confident that the Keydets can make a run at the FCS playoffs this season.
"We have a lot of talent on this team," Wachenheim said. "We just need to put it all together and play as a unit."
The Keydets will be led by a strong offense that is expected to be one of the most potent in the FCS.
VMI returns all-conference running back Korey Bridy, who rushed for over 1,000 yards last season. The Keydets also have a pair of talented quarterbacks in Seth Morgan and Reece Udinski.
The defense will be led by all-conference linebacker Stone Snyder, who is one of the top defenders in the FCS.
Bucknell is coming off a 5-6 season, but the Bison are expected to be a tough opponent for VMI.
Bucknell is led by head coach Joe Susan, who is in his fifth season with the program. Susan has led the Bison to two Patriot League Championships and three FCS playoff appearances.
Bucknell has a talented offense that is led by quarterback Matt Banks and running back Jared Cooper.
The defense is led by all-conference linebacker Jake Hartman and safety Nick Suriano.
The game is scheduled to kick off at 1:00 p.m. at Foster Stadium in Lexington, Virginia.
