East Tennessee State Shuts Out VMI 38-0
VMI is 0-7, and this one explains it in about five numbers. The Keydets threw for 13 yards, gained 143 in total, scored zero points and never once got within a touchdown. East Tennessee State won 38-0.
The Buccaneers were ahead for the entire game. Mason Mims hit Khristian Means from 19 yards out late in the first quarter, Ewan Johnson kicked a 37-yard field goal, and Mims found Tyler Griffin from 23 yards at 2:29 of the half for a 17-0 halftime lead. Jason Albritton added a 7-yard run in the third, then came the wrinkle. Wide receiver Suderian Harrison, who was 2 for 2 for 33 yards on the day, threw a 13-yard touchdown to Griffin to make it 31-0. TJ Peyton's 28-yard run at 6:10 of the fourth finished it.
East Tennessee State gained 482 yards, 272 on the ground on 45 carries, and Mims was 22 of 25 for 173 yards and two touchdowns. VMI's defense had three sacks and still gave up all of that.
Four different players scored touchdowns for East Tennessee State. Jaiden Daniels ran 8 times for 66 yards and caught 3 passes for 20 more (11.6 points), and Harrison's 2-for-2 passing line plus three catches was worth 11.0 on its own, which is a strange sentence to write about a wide receiver.
East Tennessee State is 5-1. VMI is 0-7.
Fantasy takeaway: Griffin's 24.6 points were a season high for a receiver who had no touchdowns all year before this, and both of his scores this season came in this game.
