The cover features five of the important ingredients to the success of the 1987 Valdosta State football team. Blazer head coach Mike Cavan, who was instrumental in turning around the Valdosta State football fortunes last season, is the center piece of the 1987 puzzle, but he is counting on the performance of senior quarterback Mark Dace, senior defensive end Eric Faulkner, junior split end Darrien Teals and sophomore flanker Randy Fisher to make the Blazers contenders for the Gulf South Conference championship.
