Run independently by cadets since 1907 F r id a i^ ^ O c tb b f e r $1.00 Number 7 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.
