Sat Dec 21 19:10:00 UTC 2024: ## DII Football Championship: Ferris State and Valdosta State Set for Epic Rematch

**McKinney, TX** – The Division II football world is buzzing as Ferris State Bulldogs and Valdosta State Blazers prepare for a highly anticipated rematch in the 2024 national championship game. The two powerhouse programs will clash at McKinney ISD Stadium on December 21st at 2 p.m. ET, a game that will be streamed live on ESPN+.

This marks the third meeting between the two teams in the championship game since 2018, each victory previously securing a national title for one of the rivals. Valdosta State, known as “Title Town, USA,” boasts a 13-0 record and seeks their fifth national championship. Their potent offense, led by Harlon Hill Trophy finalist quarterback Sammy Edwards, boasts 3,101 passing yards, 222 rushing yards and 30 touchdowns. Their stellar defense, anchored by All-Region safety Larry Elder, has allowed minimal scoring opportunities all season.

Ferris State, after a shaky season opener, roared back to an impressive 13-0 record. Their success is largely due to the stellar play of Harlon Hill finalist quarterback Trinidad Chambliss, who has accumulated 2,772 passing yards, 941 rushing yards, and 49 total touchdowns. The Bulldogs’ formidable offensive line, featuring several All-Region players, paves the way for a powerful rushing attack. Their equally impressive defense, led by linebacker Sefa Saipaia, ranks among the top in DII.

The game promises a clash of titans. Both teams possess top-ten scoring offenses and defenses, making for a highly competitive matchup. The outcome, experts predict, will depend on which team can best control the line of scrimmage and avoid crucial turnovers. While Valdosta State’s consistency is noteworthy, Ferris State’s recent dominance suggests a closely fought battle. The winner will claim the 2024 DII National Championship title.
