Keydets Smash Charleston Southern
By Chris Richinan
Gmbh New Writer
Last Saturday,
the VMl Kcycict football
team successfully
bounced back from
what seemed like a
catastrophic defeat the
week before against
Liber ty Universi ty,
where a fateful turnover
turned into a 28 point
fourth quarter comeback.
The Keydets
knew that this game
could quite possibly either
make or break the
momentum that they
have r idden for the
early part of the season.
This momentous
victory was VMI’s
first ever Big South victory,
raising their record
to 4-3 overal l vs
Charleston Southern’s
1-5 record. The
Keydets were truly the
stronger team on the
field throughout the
game and man aged
to capitalize
on 5 CSU tu rn overs.
Defense
and special teams
were key for VMI,
led by sophomore
linebacker Justin
Huggard, who
forced three of the
turnovers, including
two intercept
ions, one of
which he ran back
for a 70-yard
touchdown.
The scor ing
opened with
6:63 left in the
first quarter after
freshman back Colby
Hollingsworth blocked
a CSU punt and senior
cornerback Musa Sarki
ran it back 12 yards for
an early VMI 6-0 lead.
This was the first
blocked punt returned
for a score since October
14, 2000 when
Derik Screen scored
against Chattannoga.
With the crowd
in full force behind the
Keydets, VMI stormed
into the third quarter
with a 13-0 lead when
Justin Huggard stepped
in front of a Charleston
Southern pass on the
VMI 30 yard line and
returned it for 70 yards.
Huggard set a new
Alumni Memorial Field
record, with the longest
intercept ion return
prior, being 65 yards,
set by Ty Williams in
1999.
With 8:38 left in
the ballgame, Huggard
made another interception,
this time with a
ten-yard return that
would prompt a Gary
price touchdown, from
a pass by quarterback
Jonathan Wilson. This
