College Football Preview 2018: Mississippi Valley Delta Devils



Mississippi Valley State University Delta Devils
Head coach: Vincent Dancy (First year)
2017 record: 2-9 overall, 1-6 SWAC East
Outlook and Prediction
After last season, Mississippi Valley State University cut ties with head coach Rick Comegy in November 2017. It was not an unexpected move, as he had a 6-38 record in his four seasons at the helm of the program.
MVSU named Vincent Dancy as interim coach before giving him the full-time position in December 2017. He inherits what might be the toughest job in college football. The team has not had a winning season since its back-to-back successes in 2005 and 2006.
However, the Delta Devils do have something that rival JSU does not: Preseason All-SWAC players, such as star receiver Quinn McElfresh. MVSU will be better if the offense can become more consistent. The team used three quarterbacks last year and couldn't run, finishing with negative-103 rushing yards.
The schedule is tough, with out-of-conference games against the University of North Dakota, Bethune-Cookman University, Jacksonville State University and Hampton University.
