VMI heads to Samford after overtime loss at Davidson

VMI visits Samford in Birmingham on Saturday, September 26, at 3:30 p.m. Eastern, with coverage on ESPN+. Both teams are looking for their first victory of the season.

The Keydets are 0–4 after a 27–24 overtime loss at Davidson. They scored only three points in each of the two games before that, against Virginia Tech and Bucknell, making their ability to sustain the improvement in scoring a central question Saturday.

Samford is 0–3 and has not played since a 45–19 loss at Tennessee Tech on September 12. Its first two defeats came against North Alabama, 22–10, and Southern Illinois, 22–18.

Saturday offers VMI a fresh start in Southern Conference play. The offensive response after Davidson and the defense’s ability to keep Samford from establishing a lead are the immediate tests, with a home game against Mercer next on October 3.
