JMU @ Towson -- November 17, 2018

[Derby City Duke]

The Dukes look to grab a share of the CAA crown at Johnny U. Stadium. On the brink of playoff Armageddon a week ago, JMU needed a minimum of one win in their last two games to have a shot at the post-season. Having disposed of Rhody and maybe the best crop of receivers in the CAA, they travel north to take on the Tigers -- a team they have not played since October 2015 (a 51-30 JMU win).

The Tigers boast maybe the best QB in the CAA in Flacco Jr. He's been outstanding with both his arm and his feet. The Dukes' defense will have its hands full on Saturday.

Ben DiNucci, for one game at least, shook off the shoddy play that had plagued him for the better part of a month, accounting for 5 TDs in the win over the Rams. The defense made enough plays in the URI backfield to keep the Rams behind the chains. Special teams were good again for JMU and somebody on the URI side made one of the most bone-headed ST plays I've ever seen, trying to pick up a rolling punt with about 5 Dukes surrounding the ball. The receiver bobbled it, the Dukes recovered and turned it into another TD.

Which JMU offense will show up? How will Bob Trott set up his defense to contain Mr. Flacco?

Oh, and will Elon somehow manage to trip up Maine and send the CAA race into Dante's Inferno?

I'm just anticipating an excellent game between two very strong teams that may have playoff seed implications. IMO JMU brings a stronger all around team; however, Towson has a bigger offensive potential. The key for your guys will be to not get into a shootout against the best gunslinger in the conference, and maybe FCS football!

I agree that the URI ST turnover when they were still within striking distance in the 4th was one of the worst mistakes I've seen watching college football. You literally fumbled the game away when you had no business even touching the football.
