Phil Steele thinks JMU is really good, they have a good rush defense

Looks like they cannot stop the Ducks.
I like that they did any and everything they could to move down the field to score 3 themselves.
Several QB keeps and taking chances. They are playing for today.

I find myself pulling for them, and I don't even know where the school is.

They've converted 2 4th down plays in the opening drive.
I worked with a guy at the Veranda while I was a student at State that ended up working for the JMU athletic department for several years. I’ve been halfway keeping up with/pulling for them since then. I’m almost sure that guy posts or at least reads here.

I was foolishly optimistic about today's games and dedicated my day to watching. This would have been a horrible football day if they were just a regular season.

They just said Oregon has 85 4 stars and 8 five stars. It shows big time against this team. You could look at James Madison in the warmups and tell their linemen were undersized and due for a whupin'.

I know Oregon probably wasn’t very interested in the second half after being up 34-3 at the had, but James Madison made a good account of themselves in the second half. Outscored Oregon 28-17 after halftime.

I don’t get all the conspiracy theories. They lose by 25, it’s still “very odd”, but in the other direction. That’s a pretty wide range of outcomes between a 17 point loss and a 25 point loss.

Maybe Vegas is pretty good at what they do when they set the late season spreads?
Oregon shut it down at halftime, they could have won 94-3.

JMU won the 2nd half. Hang a banner. **

Of course. Why wouldn’t they? They have 3 more games they gotta win. Can’t get somebody hurt in the 2nd. That kind of stuff is taken into account when setting the spreads.
