RE: JMU @ RU thread
Advantages RU:
-At home.
-Coming off bye week.

Advantages JMU
-JMU healthier (RU missing at least 3 starters to injury, including their most touted defensive player).
-JMU's DC was the RU DC last season. Even though RU has a new OC, Trott has a very good insight into Rocco's style of offense (as does Rocco into Trout's style of defense). But Trout has an intimate knowledge of RU's offensive personell. This could be a huge X factor in JMU's favor.

Wow that UNH, final 10 minute 27 point meltdown dropped us from #2 to #12 pass defense? ONE GAME?!

RE: JMU @ RU thread
Richmond is going to throw the ball at will against us. I could easily see a scenario where neither punter is used in this game. The only decent QB's we've faced have had career days against us.

The difference in the game will be whether or not our defense can create turnovers. I think if we force two turnovers, we have a really good chance at winning. Three turnovers and I would say we are a lock.

JMU 45
UR 42

If the Duke win the turnover battle, we'll win the game. If we lose the turnover battle, it will be tough to win. Hoping for something exactly like the last time we played, man was that a glorious afternoon in Richmond, just glorious.

That was a fun day! Hoping for more of the same on Saturday.

RE: JMU @ RU thread
Brown is going to be tough to cover but hopefully we can hold him below his avg. of 100 yds/game and no more than 1 TD catch. I think the Spiders are going to be challenged to establish their run game. Like others have said, the turnover battle will be key. The D line/blitz needs to get to the QB a few times early.

Dukes 42

Spiders 24

Richmond favorites after losing to pebble creek??? 3OT with Albany? Nope, not buying it. If Albany can slow down Mr. Brown, I think we should be able to as well. You guys got to give this team a little credit! Dukes Crush 42-14.

This is essentially a neutral site game since RU fans will be drowned out by the JMU faithful. Dukes should wear all white with purple helmets and repeat the performance from two years ago.

I think it would be cool if JMU came out in the stormtrooper white out uniforms from earlier this season. But then again... RU has white helmets now... ugh.

JMU lost on Gameday
‏@FireChrisMooney
To all JMU fans who will bring up the size of our stadium, if we let basically everyone into our school like y'all we'd have more fans too.

Someone created a twitter account just to point out that we lost on game day. LOL

You can change the "display name" - the handle itself can't be changed though.

Red Sweater vests think very highly of their school. Their fascination with enrolling fewer students than us is also apparent on their Rivals board. Of course they never mention that they are 10% the size of JMU and receive less than half the number of applicants we do. That Robbins money has really gone to their head.

For what it's worth, US News has JMU with an overall rating of 81 and RU with an overall rating of 80. That's only one of many different places that try to rank or quantify schools, but still.

RE: JMU @ RU thread
Even though we lost, I'll take the coverage that we got EVERY SINGLE TIME. I will never forget how awesome that truly was and the game didn't take any of that away. Sure, the loss was bad, but I seriously doubt anyone that watched Game Day knew anything about who our opponent was. Even more so, those that watched Game Day probably had no idea if we won the game or not.
We were important enough to get the biggest college football TV show in the nation to come to US. Meanwhile, little 'ole Richmond thinks they're relevant enough to even be considered for Game Day. There could be no other football games going on and Game Day still wouldn't go to Richmond.
Plus, why would Game Day go to a place where even their own fans say that they are awful fans?

Dukes 45
RU 27

We continue improving and our newly-confident secondary picks up 3 INT's with 1 returned for a TD. Unfortunately, the ball hawk attitude also gives up a long-break TD in the middle of the game. Schor, our crazy WR depth, and Kloo pick them apart in the first half as they focus on stopping the run. As soon as they change strategy after halftime to drop another man back in coverage or blitz more, JMU punches them in the neck and puts up 200 yards rushing in the second half. Dukes continue to crush. Tick fans cry because of their close proximity across their "stadium" to Dukes fans that actually make noise.
