Arguably one of the best football seasons all-time in the history of Valdosta State football came in 2018. The Blazers had an unprecedented and school-best 14-0 record winning the program's fourth national championship with a thrilling 49-47 victory over Ferris State University in McKinney, Texas. VSU claimed its first Gulf South Conference title since 2010 and the first outright league title since 2004. Under the direction of then-third year head coach Kerwin Bell, the Blazer offense was unstoppable as it led the nation in scoring offense at 52.0 points per game, while the Blazers were fourth nationally in total offense at 523.9 yards per game. Blazer quarterback Rogan Wells finished second in the Harlon Hill Award as he became the fourth different Blazer to be named a finalist for the award. Six different players earned All-America honors that season, including Jeremy King, Rogan Wells, Adonis Sealey, Ravarius Rivers, LaVonne Gauthney and Jamar Thompkins. The Blazers amassed 7,334 yards of offense that season, scored 728 points and registered 97 touchdowns as all were school-records. VSU improved 6.5 games from 2017 to 2018, as the team went 5-4 in 2017 followed by the 14-0 mark in 2018. The improvement is tied for 12th all-time in NCAA Division II.
