VMI vs. Wofford Prediction

I’m on Wofford here. The Terriers are the better team by a fair margin on both ends of the floor and I’m concerned we’re going to start seeing the VMI of old show up in games ahead. The Terriers are a better team than their record would indicate, and I think that Wofford comes out and puts a hurt on VMI in this one. Give me the Terriers here laying the points at home in this one.
