LOCK HAVEN GAME REDUX - The Keydets unveiled their new pro-style offense against Lock Haven, after running the option the past four years. VMI threw for 304 yards, as compared to just 769 yards passing for the entire 2009 season. The 304 yards through the air was the Keydets first 300-yard game since Oct. 22, 2005 when VMI passed for 327 yards against Gardner-Webb. VMI did not commit a turnover in the seasonopening victory. It marked the first time that had happened since the no-turnover effort at then-#1 Richmond on Sept. 26 of last season. Michael Rainey-Wiles 52-yard punt return for a TD was VMI s first since Tim Maypray s schoolrecord 86-yard runback against Gardner-Webb on Oct. 3, The Keydet defense turned in a strong second half, forcing the Bald Eagles into six three-andout possessions in eight series. In that second half, VMI allowed just five first downs, 17 rushing yards, 52 passing yards and 69 total yards. Sophomore Jeff Sexton opened the scoring with a career-long 38-yard field goal, but bettered that effort just minutes later when he put through a 44-yard try. He also booted a careerhigh 12 points against Lock Haven. Senior wideout Bryan Barnson pulled in a careerhigh five catches against Lock Haven, surpassing the four he caught against Gardner-Webb on Oct. 3, RAINEY-WILES TABBED SPECIALIST OF THE WEEK - Senior return specialist Michael Rainey- Wiles was named Big South Conference Special Teams Player of the Week, for games played between Sept. 2-4, as announced by the league office on Monday, Sept. 6. In VMI s Sept win over Lock Haven, Rainey-Wiles returned four punts for 112 yards, including a 52-yarder for a touchdown in the third quarter. It was his first career punt return TD, and VMI first such return for a score since Tim Maypray went 86 yards to the endzone against Gardner-Webb on Oct. 3, Rainey- Wiles also had punt returns of 29 and 20 yards to give VMI solid field position Saturday, and he returned the opening kickoff 31 yards as well, leading to VMI s first points of the game. Rainey-Wiles became the first Keydet football player to win a BSC Special Teams honor since Maypray received the citation for the 2009 Gardner-Webb game. He also made his debut on the defensive side of the ball against Lock Haven, as he made his first career start at cornerback after playing three years as an offensive player. He was credited for three solo tackles against the Bald Eagles.

VMI had not displayed the spider on helmets since Nov. 20, 1988 when the Keydets faced Western Carolina. VMI did wear the spider on white helmets for four years ( ) under head coach Eddie Williamson. KEYDETS TOUGH IN OPENERS - VMI opened its 120th season with a 48-6 win over Lock Haven on Sept. 4, and took its sixth straight home opener in the process. That is the second-longest string in the Big South. VMI now holds a mark since first fielding a team in 1891 and is 8-4 over the past 11 years in openers. KEYDET SCORING STREAK ENDS - The William & Mary game ended VMI's consecutive game scoring streak which had reached 61 straight games. The streak was the longest such run in the 119-year history of the program, besting a 43-game stretch from and was the second-longest such streak in the Big South Conference. Despite the similar numbers, the most recent streak doesn't quite compare to the offensive prowess of the Flying Squadron days. During the recent 61-game streak, VMI had scored 1,426 points for an average of 22.9 per game. Over the previous 43-game streak, the Keydets scored 1,138 points, averaging 26.5 points per contest. Included in that run was the 1920 campaign that still stands as the school's only undefeated and untied mark. While going 9-0, VMI defeated Hampden-Sydney and Catholic That squad still holds the pre-socon realignment school record for points in a season, outscoring their opponents , averaging 47.9 points per game. DRIVE FOR FIVE - In 2010, the Keydets are attempting to lead the Big South in rushing for the fifth straight season. But with a move from the ground-based triple option to a balanced prostyle attack, it remains to be seen if VMI can extend the string. Last season, for the second time in three years, VMI led the FCS in rushing as the Keydets averaged yards per game. That made the Keydets the first Big South team to led the circuit in rushing for four consecutive seasons, as well as the only team in the country to currently pace their league on the ground four straight campaigns. Last season, the Keydets were one of two teams who had led their conference three straight years. VMI s neighbors just up Interstate 81, JMU, were the other, but the Dukes finished second in the CAA in rushing last season. ALLEN TOPS CHARTS - Defensive back Byron Allen is VMI s leading returning tackler, having posted 173 career stops, including 85 of the solo variety. Entering the Virginia game, Allen is 173 tackles out of the #10 spot on the program s career chart. Last season, he ranked in the country s top- 25 in tackles per game for much of the year, fueled by performances like his fifth double-digit tackle game of the season, when he finished with a career-high 17 tackles (eight solo, nine assists) against Liberty. In this season s opener against Lock Haven, Allen led the VMI defensive charts with three solo tackles and six assists. Big South Preseason Poll Liberty has been tabbed as the favorite in the Big South Conference s annual preseason football poll for the 2010 campaign.

5 RUSH DEFENSE MUCH IMPROVED- The 2009 Keydet rush defense, which finished third in the Big South, ranked among one of the best units in Keydet history of late. The team allowed ypg on the ground, compared to 2008 s ypg mark. VMI s average ranked as the lowest output since the Keydets allowed just yards per contest back in In fact, it hasn t even been close in recent years, as VMI s 1982 rush defense that held opponents to ypg was the previous low during the stretch since KEYDETS FALL JUST SHORT AT ARMY - VMI narrowly missed a bid to obtain its first win over a FBS program since being reclassified FCS in 1982 when it fell, at Army last Nov. 14 at Michie Stadium in West Point, N.Y. Fullback Howard Abegesah's 44-yard TD run put the Keydets up, 17-16, early in the fourth quarter, but Army's Patrick Mealy countered with a 17-yard run at the 8:17 mark to put the Black Knights up for good. VMI had its last two drives of the game end on downs in Army territory. The two teams will meet again this season, as VMI again goes to West Point, this time on Oct. 30. MISSING OFFENSE - VMI will be replacing several offensive pieces this season, as the Keydets move to the new pro-style offense. Two of the top scorers in program history, Kyle Hughes and Tim Maypray, have graduated, and the same applies for former running back Howard Abegesah. Hughes is now a volunteer assistant with the Keydets, while Maypray has become a CFL sensation, already posting two kickoff returns of over 100 yards this season. THREE KEYDETS NAMED PRESEASON ALL-CONFERENCE - VMI football s Josh Wine, Emilio Calvin and Marc Ray earned Big South Preseason All-Conference honors, according to information released by the league at its media day in Charlotte, N.C. in mid-july. Wine, who will anchor the middle of VMI s defensive front in 2010, was an All-Big South Second Team member following last season. He led Big South down linemen in tackles with 63, including a career-high 10 stops versus Charleston Southern. Overall, he helped the Keydets to their best run defense numbers since 1977, as VMI allowed just yards per game on the ground. Calvin, who was tabbed preseason All-Big South at linebacker, ranked third on the 2009 team in tackles with 66. The Second Team All-Big South member also was 13th in the conference in tackles-per-game (6.0), and tied for fifth in tackles-for-loss per game (0.2). His overall total of tackles-for-loss, 9.0, led the Keydets as well. Finally, punter Ray comes off a year where he was named All-Conference First Team, the only returning Keydet to earn those laurels. He was the first VMI punter to be named First Team All-Conference since 2002, and led the Big South in punting average at 38.9 yards per punt. That total included four punts of over 50 yards. In the preseason poll, which was also released at the media day proceedings, VMI was voted sixth. The Keydets finished with 31 points, placing ahead of Presbyterian College (18 pts.). Gardner-Webb was fifth (54), with the lowest preseason ranking they have had since the Big South launched football in The poll s top four were Liberty, who received 13 of the 15 first-place votes and 103 points overall, Stony Brook (81 pts., one first-place vote), Coastal Carolina (68) and Charleston Southern (65 pts., one first-place vote). NEW STAFF ADDITIONS - As the Keydets enter the third year under Sparky Woods leadership, their head man has made a handful of changes to the coaching staff. Three additions, in fact, have joined the Keydets for the 2010 season. Matt Campbell comes to VMI as its new offensive coordinator, and will also work with the linemen in developing the Keydets new offensive attack. Campbell brings a wealth of experience to the Institute, including eight years as an NFL player and time as a collegiate player under Coach Woods at South Carolina. After playing tight end for the Gamecocks from , Campbell was invited to participate in the Senior Bowl and attended the NFL combine. Campbell then embarked on his NFL career which began with the New Orleans Saints, and then on to the Carolina Panthers, where he stayed through the 2001 campaign. He then closed out his professional football career with stints with the Washington Redskins and Houston Texans.Campbell recently served as offensive line coach and co-coordinator and Bluffton High School in Bluffton, South Carolina and coached for three seasons. He also helped start the athletics program at Cross Episcopal School and served as its athletic director from 2005 to Mayur Chaudhari begins his first season as a member of the VMI football staff and will assist with the secondary working with the Keydet safeties. He is reunited with VMI defensive coordinator A.J. Christoff after working with him on the football staff at Stanford University. Chaudhari brings 9 seasons of college football coaching experience and has worked on staffs of all four divisions (FBS, FCS, Division II and Division III) including San Jose State University, UC Davis twice, Menlo College and Stanford University. Chaudhari recently coached at San Jose State University where he worked as a defensive and assistant special teams coach for two seasons. He worked with the Spartans safeties in 2009 and was assistant linebackers coach in He began his career in 1998 at UC Davis as an offensive assistant. In three seasons with the Aggies ( ), he worked with the running backs, tight ends, assisted the offensive coordinator with the offensive linemen and was the video coordinator. He returned to UC Davis in 2007 and was the team s linebackers coach. During the 2005 season, Chaudhari was Menlo College s running backs coach, video coordinator and assisted in recruiting. He spent the 2006 season at Stanford as an assistant to the defensive staff. George Handler, who recently graduated from VMI and was an allconference lineman for the Keydets, will coach the Keydet tight ends this fall. Handler was selected first team All-Big South in 2009 after the Keydets led the nation (FCS) in rushing for the second straight year and the Big South for the fourth consecutive year. In 2008, Handler was second among all down linemen in knockdowns with 49. Handler was a four-year starter who played every position on the offensive line and made 41 consecutive career starts. He was also selected 2008 Second Team All-Big South and 2009 Preseason All-Big South selection at offensive line. Handler graduated from VMI in December, 2009 with a degree in Mechanical Engineering. He was named to the Big South Presidential Honor Roll. Also, Greg Shockley has been assigned to coach running backs, shifting titles to account for the new style offense. CAN THE BLOCK PARTY CONTINUE?- After going nearly four years without blocking a punt, the Keydets made it a common occurence. When sophomore cornerback Greg Walker blocked a GWU punt late in VMI s Oct. 3 loss to the Runnin Bulldogs, it marked the first time in 43 games that the Keydets had done so. The team s previous blocked punt came on Sept. 24, 2005 in a contest between VMI and Lehigh, when Jason Major did so in a loss in Lexington. Just two weeks after Walker s blocked punt, the Keydets blocked another punt, stuffing a Stony Brook attempt in the first quarter to set up VMI s first score of the day.

The Keydets (1-0) won their sixth consecutive season opener behind 304 yards passing between three different quarterbacks. Lock Haven (0-1) was held to 69 yards of total offense in the second half, and gained just five first downs over the last two quarters. The Keydets got on the board on their opening drive, driving for a 38-yard field goal by Jeff Sexton.The 10- play drive covered just 39 yards, but ate up 4:56 as only one play gained over six yards, that play being a 16-yard third down pass from starting quarterback Cameron Jones to tight end Josh Favaro. After VMI took the 3-0 lead, Lock Haven was able to gain a first down, but was forced to punt shortly thereafter. The snap went over the punter's head and led to a turnover on downs, giving the Keydets possession at the LHU 30. Four plays later, Sexton booted through his second field goal of the opening quarter, a career-long 44-yard try, putting VMI up 6-0 with 3:29 left in the opening quarter.that remained the score at the conclusion of the period, a quarter marred by some nine penalties between the clubs. Game 1- VMI vs. Lock Haven VMI got off to a strong start in the second quarter, as quarterback Jones found Gabe Itoka for a 25-yard completion, giving the Keydets a first down at the visitors' 30. From there, the Keydets would lose six yards and send Sexton out for a 52-yard try which came up short, giving the Bald Eagles solid field position.after picking up a first down on a personal foul, Lock Haven notched a 26-yard scamper down to the Keydet 10. The VMI defense stiffened and forced Lock Haven into a fourth-and-goal from the 27, which went for naught and the score remained 6-0,VMI. On the resultant drive, the Keydets cashed in for their first touchdown of 2010, a Julian Bowers four-yard run. After Sexton tacked on the extra point,vmi had a 13-0 cushion. After a three-and-out,vmi would add to its lead once again.with freshman Adam Morgan at quarterback,vmi went 51 yards in nine plays over just 1:53 on the game clock, and Morgan ended the drive with a fade pass to T.J.Talley in the back of the endzone.talley went over the Bald Eagle defender and snared the pass, and the Keydets took a 20-0 lead. Lock Haven would respond in the final 1:33, going 61 yards in just 1:17 and getting on the board with a 20-yard touchdown pass.the extra point was blocked, but Lock Haven had cut the halftime deficit to 20-6 despite nine penalties.

Bowers capped the brief effort with his second touchdown of the game, a one-yard run up the middle, pushing VMI to a 27-6 advantage. Moments later, Michael Rainey-Wiles took a Lock Haven punt 52 yards down the near sideline for a touchdown, giving the Keydets a 34-6 edge with 9:44 left in the third quarter.the special teams touchdown was VMI's first since last season's Gardner-Webb game, when Tim Maypray returned a punt a VMI-record 86 yards. Once again, the VMI defense forced another three-and-out series, giving their team the ball at their own 49. On third down, Jones found Gabe Itoka to the quarterback's right and hit him with a 19-yard pass.a 15-yard face mask penalty was tacked on at the end of the play, moving VMI to the Lock Haven 17.Two plays later, Jones found Trent White on a crossing pattern in the left corner of the end zone, and Sexton's point after made it 41-6,VMI, just halfway through the third quarter. After an exchange of punts, Morgan led the Keydets on a six-play, 62-yard drive that ended with a 46-yard touchdown pass to Itoka, capping the scoring with 8:49 to play in the contest. Freshman Eric Kordenbrock saw at quarterback for VMI late in the game, but neither squad could score the rest of the way. VMI was led by several players on the day, as Jones threw for a career-high 156 yards while Morgan added 120. Nine different Keydets had receptions, and on the ground, Bowers had two touchdown runs. Defensively, Byron Allen had nine tackles to pace VMI, while Damiso Alexander had 2.5 tackles-for-loss, just missing his career high (3.0). Alexander's 2.5 stops behind the line were part of a strong Keydet defensive effort, as VMI had 9.0 tackles-for-loss on the day, accounting for a loss of 60 yards for Lock Haven.

I want to commend Lock Haven.They came in and played hard and played real well on the line of scrimmage in the first half. I was proud of our team of staying the course and continuing to execute." "Defensively, we played well early and then we gave up that touchdown right before the half.the character we showed by coming out the second half was great and then the game went the way we hoped it would and we won the game handedly.we protected the ball and a lot of people played and we didn't turn the ball over. Also, we didn't have center-quarterback errors, any delay of game problems, and we stayed on the ball on defense even though we didn't tackle well early." "Jeff Sexton showed what his second year has done for him, and he kept us in the game early with some long kicks on those first few drives. I couldn't have asked for the game to go much better. I am proud of this team. I know they want to play well and they want to win, and they've done everything we have asked them to do in the win today. It was a great day for VMI and I am happy for everybody." Lock Haven (0-1) 6 VMI (1-0) 48 Foster Stadium Lexington, Va.
