LEXINGTON, Va. (AP) --- Mason Mims threw two touchdown passes, TJ Payton had
121 yards rushing and a TD on 15 carries, and East Tennessee State beat VMI
38-0 on Saturday, the Keydets' 18th consecutive loss.
VMI (0-8. 0-4) is winless since a 42-7 win over Division-III Ferrum on Sept. 6,
2025. The Keydets haven't beaten a D-I opponent since a 21-17 home victory over
Furman on Nov. 2, 2024, a string of 22 straight games.
Mims was 22-of-25 passing for 173 yards with no interceptions for ETSU (6-2,
4-0 Southern Conference). Tyler Griffin had seven receptions for 56 yards and
two TDs and Jason Albritton added a 7-yard rushing touchdown.
Mims hit Khristian Means for a 19-yard touchdown that opened the scoring with
1:19 left in the first quarter and the Buccaneers led the rest of the way.
The Keydets had just six first downs and finished with 143 total yards.
