VMI May Spoil It Again In Southern Conference
West Virginia is seen as the team to beat in the nine member Southern Conference with a 7-2-1 1957 mark and a 24 game league winning streak. VMI enters 1958 at 9-0-1 and could spoil the title again as several conference rivals show rebuilding or uncertain form. Key returning stars from Georgia Tech to Furman highlight a tight race for the crown.
