Late interception carries VSU Blazers past Albany State, 30-27

ALBANY, GA — ALBANY — The Valdosta State Blazers defeated sixth-ranked Albany State 30-27 on Saturday night to stay undefeated on the season. Just like the first two games, the Blazers (3-0) won the game inside the minute, as senior safety Harrison Dreiling intercepted a Stan Jennings pass to give VSU the win over the Golden Rams.

“Beating anyone in your state that you have an opportunity to play is going to be huge,” Valdosta State head coach David Dean said.

The teams haven’t played since 2007, when the Blazers won, 41-3, in Valdosta.

“We’re thrilled to have Albany State back on our schedule,” said VSU head coach David Dean. “With the proximity of the two schools, it has always been a great rivalry and a big event for South Georgia. Both schools always bring large crowds to the games, and they have seen...
