The Citadel will head on the road in Week 8 of the college football season to take on the Virginia Military Institute at Foster Stadium in Lexington, Virginia. The Bulldogs head into this week with a 2-5 record through the first seven weeks of the season yet to have a bye week. After going 2-1 in the first three weeks including a 54-0 shutout win over North Greenville, they have since lost four straight games. They lost 38-21 at Mercer in Week 4 followed by a 34-17 loss at home against East Tennessee in Week 5. Week 6 was no better than losing to Furham at home 17-16, and last week, they lost 30-16 on the road again at Western Carolina. They will look to break that streak here today. Their senior starting quarterback Johnathan Bennett has thrown for 1,211 yards and five touchdowns with six interceptions.
