College Sports Journal SoCon Football Preview Week of 3/14/21

Last week was an excellent week of Southern Conference football with two games going to overtime and VMI continuing its hot start.

Furman fell behind 24-7 and 34-20 before saving their season with a touchdown and fumble recovery in overtime. With the games on tap this week, don’t be surprised to see more games come down to the final play.

VMI couldn’t continue the momentum from their victory over ETSU, losing to lowly Robert Morris.
