James Madison University is ready to take center stage in the College Football Universe on Saturday !
ESPN will be back on the JMU Campus for a 3rd time tomorrow for its Showcase broadcast Game Day beginning at 9:00 am and the Dukes (10-0) will be hosting the Appalachin State University Mountaineers (6-4) at 2:00 pm. JMU was once again denied its appeal on the Bowl Ban that will keep the Dukes out of a possible New Years Day contest so the football game will become the only way for the Dukes to register a victory this week.
App State has dropped four contests this year but its worth noting that each of the four defeats share a common thread - one score contests (6,3,3 & 7 points) that included one double OT loss at UNC as well as a last second loss to Coastal Carolina. The loss at Wyoming ended with a blocked field goal being returned for a Touchdown o give the Cowboys the victory with 2 minutes remaining while the loss at Old Dominion came with 0:48 seconds remauning.
James Madison has five one score victories and five one sided affairs on its way to a perfect 10-0. The Media Circus is in town for the day and folks are geared up for a Fun Day from start to finish !
