Congrats Marshall!
I know, you guys have a lot of tradition but is this the biggest win in program history?

Notre Dame certainly feels different because of their tradition. We handed a higher ranked Kansas State team their only loss in their 11-1 Big 12 championship season. Per ESPN's predictor, this was the only game this year we weren't favored. I think what we do in the next 10 weeks will ultimately determine if this becomes #1. But at first blush, this probably initially feels like the most significantly meaningful.
I think that this is our first big game in our new league is also meaningful.

That's a good question. We have beaten higher ranked teams (#6 Kansas State), won 2 I-AA national championships, and other games, but the only game I think that comes close to this is the Xavier game in 1971 with the young Thundering Herd, our first win after the crash against a much bigger, faster and better team. I know Xavier doesn't even play football now and wasn't good in 1971, but from a program standpoint that win was huge. But setting all that aside and just looking at the national NBC stage, the historical program of ND and the fact they were ranked in the top 10, I'd say this is the biggest win. Now we just need to be sure to capitalize on it by having a great rest of the season.

Great win!
JMU hosted Campbell last year for homecoming. It's hard to imagine a much bigger step up. Can't wait for the game in Harrisonburg.
