Mississippi Valley State Eager to Redeem Itself at Chicago Football Classic

ITTA BENA, MS - The Mississippi Valley State Delta Devils are heading to the Windy City with a renewed sense of purpose and determination. After a disappointing loss in the 2023 Chicago Football Classic, the HBCU powerhouse is eager to make a strong statement on the national stage this September.

In a recent interview, Head Coach Terrell Buckley made it clear that his team has its sights set on victory. "We don't care who our opponent is," Buckley declared. "Whoever they work out, they just need to be ready for the heat. We're going to bring that heat at Soldier Field."

The Delta Devils' 2023 appearance in the classic was marred by logistical challenges and accommodation issues, which then-head coach Kendrick Wade described as "probably the worst experience of my life." However, with Buckley now at the helm, the team is eager to redeem itself and make the HBCU community proud.

Buckley's confidence is rooted in the team's recent performances.

As the Delta Devils prepare for their season opener against Nicholls State and a subsequent matchup against FBS-bound Sacramento State, Buckley's message to their future Chicago Football Classic opponent is clear: "Just be ready."

"Whoever it is, just be ready."
