RICHMOND, KY. — You couldn't blame place kicker Cameron Starke and his James Madison teammates for thinking they were experiencing a Deja Vu moment at the end of Saturday's NCAA Division I Football first-round playoff game at Eastern Kentucky.

Starke had drilled a 40-yard field goal — just his second career three-pointer — on the final play of the game to lift the Dukes to a 27-24 victory at Liberty in the third week of the season. And on Saturday, he found himself in a similar setting with higher stakes.

After a pair of EKU time outs to try to ice the redshirt sophomore, Starke boomed a 35-yard field goal from the left hash as time expired to lift JMU to a 20-17 victory in a game that featured two former NCAA champions at Roy Kidd Stadium.

You get all the luck, Mr. C, covering the two best games of the first round ;)

Everyone was calling Starke's first FG try good, even though the refs called it no good. What was up with that?

SoCon refs (not that CAA refs are any better).
