The 2004 Valdosta State football team capped off the Blazers’ rise to glory as the squad won the school’s first NCAA Division II Football National Championship. After dropping its first game of the year, the team rebounded to win 14 straight games, finishing the season with a 36-31 victory over Pittsburg State in the national championship game. A school record six All-America honorees played for the squad while 11 players off the team earned All-Gulf South Conference honors. The team went a perfect 9-0 in Gulf South Conference play and won VSU’s fifth GSC football title. The national championship trophy was Valdosta State’s second overall title, and the first since the baseball team won the 1979 championship.
