FCS packages VMI and William & Mary will kick off their 2024 season by renewing a paused, in-state sequence – the primary of 4 scheduled matchups over an eight-season span.
VMI certainly has additional motivation.
In a sequence that dates to 1905 with 88 all-time conferences, however none since 2011, the Keydets may have a chance to finish their 25-game shedding streak to W&M.
Or they might maintain including to the Tribe’s profitable streak, which started in 1986 and is the longest lively run between two present NCAA FCS-level packages.
Grambling State’s 32 straight wins over Prairie View A&M between 1977-2008 mark the one different longer streak. It started one 12 months earlier than the primary FCS season in 1978.
