It only counts as one win, but that was about as impressive of a performance as I've seen out of a JMU team.
2 defensive touchdowns just added insult to injury.
Whether Withers wants to admit it or not, he played a 4-2-5 the majority of the time and it shut down Towson ' s strong run game. Sage Harold is a stud at the DE down position and I hope there is enough evidence to avoid putting him back as an OLB.

in the post game EW talked about using the dink and dunk passing as an extension of the running game. Towson kept lining up with most defenders in the middle and little support on the perimeter.

Towson has gone from the National title game to a crappy team in one year. I'm sure Ambrose dropped about 167 F bombs during the game.

2 weeks of recovery time should help several Dukes get ready for the stretch run. There really haven't been any devastating injuries this year and the nagging ones will heal. I'd say it has been a pretty fortunate health situation this year.

Agreed. Really overall the best performance I've seen by the Dukes in a long time. I thought Vad looked better than I've ever seen him today. The only negatives I saw were some questionable playcalling at times, The bullcrap targeting call against Marlowe and the lackluster kicking.

Indeed - to entirely dominate a fellow CAA team is very impressive.

Tiger's will want to settle the score in basketball and for sure in their place next year.

A kind of late arriving crowd, but most stayed through 3 qtrs - even with the game well in hand.

Withers has been playing a 4-2-5 the majority of the year. It seems he's the only one who doesn' realize it.

It looked like the JMU staff did something different to help students get in quicker. In addition, they stayed well beyond normal, but I figured that was due to it being family weekend.

Now, the paying folk had a really long line at what I refer to as the main entrance to the left of the Plecker APC. I'm not going to get on the staff for that as we need to be closing up our tailgates sooner and get in the stadium. But it was taking about 20 minutes to get through that entrance, oddly, no one seemed to care.

Impressive win but I'm going to be the Debbie downer. If we don't clean up our kicking game, we are going to lose an important game because of it. Another kickoff out of bounds, another missed xp, two more missed field goals. If we intend to catch fire and make the playoffs, we will need to fix this part of our game to do it.

This was people lining up for what they thought was a line for the entire entrance, when in reality it was a line for the right-most entrance. we walked right by and right up to the shorter lines that no one was bothering to get in.

Meanwhile, it was nice to get an impressive win for once in what seems like ages. My wife asked, are we playing that well, or is towson just that bad? I said it's probably 75% JMU playing well, 25% towson playing bad.

Yes the kicking game is god awful, but it's clear that withers was left with nothing to work with in that regard. they will have to recruit better players in the coming year(s). I believe our starting kicker is a walk-on.

A win is a win and what a beautiful, revenge win it was.

Can somebody explain to me why we keep playing Latney? He started the game. He's completely unproductive. He can't run, he can't block ... I am just lost on this one. The guy doesn't do anything well yet we keep wasting plays with him. I watch the games and think somebody is f'ing with me.

I did the same. I think people weren't in any hurry. By looking at our past performances, there would have been no reason to get to your seat before the 2nd quarter.

There's always a reason to be there at the start of the game. If you have a ticket, show up at the beginning of the game. WTF is wrong with people. If I was in charge I'd make all men enter the game with their pants down to show how small their dicks are.
