Maine will be playing its weakest opponent so far this year as they have started with Toledo and Uconn. The game will be in Orono, Maine. You know, the nice cozy geographical CAA conference that asks JMU to play 800 miles away. At least this trip is only every other year.

Temps will be in the low 60's. Perfect for early Fall football.

JMU 32 - Maine 14, we are just that good.

Dukes get back on track.

JMU 34
Maine 21

Defense takes Viagra. Stiffens. JMU 31-7.

JMU 38 - Canada 31

Sippin the cool-aide, and I think we are really good. No way they keep us below 40.

Mighty Dukes of JMU 45
Goldilocks Friends 14

JMU - 42
Cubs - 14

And I disagree that Maine will be playing their weakest competition so far.

Maine starts 0-3 and dukes crush

35-21 Dukes.

JMU - 31
Maine - 17

JMU 63 Newfoundland 0.

I can't really disagree with the Massey prediction until I see more from our Defense.

Dukes with an uncomfortably close win, 35-28.

On paper, we are. Massey and Sagarin say so.

I'm actually nervous about this one. This is the first game we've faced competition close to us. I think it's going to be much, much closer than we want it to be. I think we are going to be very, very good, but this game won't show what we are capable of doing.

35-21 Dukes....the Purple Wave is building, More Fans will begin to "Catch the wave" (believe) after this week for a Great Season Ride.

Need to get to the QB for a few sacks and some hurries which will help the secondary out. I think we may see some blitzes by our D in this game.

Maine only averaging 105 yds rushing so hoping the Dukes can keep them close to that.

If we got 400+ yds of offense against the UNC defense, we should be able to do the same on Saturday.

JMU - 45

Maine - 17

Additionaly Maine has NO rushing TD's and averages 3.4 yds a carry and only 2 passing TD's and under 50% completion percentage.

Dukes crush 51-21

Maine 24

We will learn a lot about our defense and the coaching staff in this one.

Dont think Maine has the firepower to keep up with us, so I would expect a ball control offense from them and an uncomfortably close 27-20 come-from-behind win.
