James Madison v Delaware

[Cocky]

Discussion?

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

JMU will win this one.

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

Who will host? These are two cash cows squaring off in round 1....

[BisonBacker]

I can't see Delaware winning this one.

[CHIP72]

If James Madison wants to guarantee a win, they ask Villanova if they can borrow the Wildcats' uniforms for a game.

[katss07]

This is going to be a good thread/game...

[knit35]

JMU Hosts. All teams listed on the top line during bracket reveal are hosts

[BisonBacker]

If James Madison wants to guarantee a win, they ask Villanova if they can borrow the Wildcats' uniforms for a game.

xlolx Isn't that the truth.

In case anyone missed some of the details of the latest clucker by Delaware yesterday

Starting QB Kehoe went out in first Quarter for concussion protocol and now apparenly has a partially torn ACL, now by the way he has played the 2 previous games that knee was not healthy vs Albany and Stony either, he injured it vs New Hampshire but did play well enough vs Towson..... must of aggrivated it

So Rocco brings in a Freshman Nolan Henderson ...... who looks pretty talented actually with some zip on his throws and ability to tuck and run and find first downs if nothing is open

Delaware starting rb Kani Kane was played very sparingly, banged up knee

Henderson who is a skinny kid, he was hit hard early and he had to go out but came back in, he is talented but kind of shrimp....

also on D, #99 DE Cam Kitchen who was just getting back into a good form, re-injured that knee

Ray Jones, not sure how he came back in after taking a body blow .... who knows if he will be ready to go

not making any excuse for the loss yesterday to the prepsters because I think Henderson was kind of a spark on an otherwise really bad day for Delaware

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

Henderson showed enough yesterday for me to be comfortable with him getting the start at JMU. What do we have to lose?

Kehoe? The guy who had 95 yds and three picks in week 4?

[GoBlueHens83]

Kehoe? The guy who had 95 yds and three picks in week 4?

Yes.

He has had a few nice games since the NDSU disaster, so losing him surely didn't help our chances against Nova.

It helped your chances if you get by JMU and Colgate

[Derby City Duke]

JMU rout?

Depends on whether Good DiNucci or Bad DiNucci shows up for JMU.

Houston was as pissed off as I've ever seen him during the ESPN interview -- slapped the committee at the beginning but made it clear in no uncertain terms that JMU didn't take care of business vs. UNH. As long as the team doesn't come out TOO jacked up to prove a point, I think we can survive and get to Colgate.

he was a Deer in the headlights that game but he played better in CAA

Villanova also had their starting QB back (the won who led them to a respectable start to the season) and had him knock the rust off against W&M the previous week.

We still played poorly in many ways, and should've been able to win, but we were succumbing to injuries at the same time Villanova's best players were coming back.

Still, the JMU game could really go either way, both JMU and UD have played very well and very poorly at various points in this season, it really depend on which version of each team shows up.

[ColgateTD]

Good luck to both teams. We'll see one of you in the snow Dec. 1st :-))

[KPSUL]

JMU rout?

Yep ! I'll be there to enjoy it.

I'm considering making the 5 hour drive down 81 for this, just because I forget what a playoff game is (because of schedules and travel costs, my last one was the QF v UNH in 2010). The $12 GA tickets don't hurt the idea

ASSUMING we get by UD, look forward to the trip! Houston always says we are built to win games in December. If Hamilton, NY is not December, I don't know what is...

[Observer2]

This guy has it right on gohens.net:

I don't know how we could possibly win this game. JMU is headed to the ACC, AAC, possibly the Sunbelt or Conference USA, to join ODU. The have Houston, streamers, the largest aluminum structure east of the Mississippi. Not to mention, a major interstate highway and railroad right through the middle of campus. I am talking major logistics here.

OTOH, we are using cheerleaders at QB, and have the oldest fan base in the league. It is a major insult to JMU to even have to play a first round game. Their "major reward" will not be a leg lamp, but a trip to beautiful Hamilton, NY in December. LOL!

Go 'gate!

How do you even remember your login?

[jmu007]

JMU made a few subtle changes to the offense the past 2 weeks that have resulted in back to back 30+ point outputs. Offense won't be as big a liability as people want to wish it to be. If anything, they're just now finding their stride.

I seem to recall another team that got pissed off after being sent on the road to a title in 2004. Time for the road warrior sequel. Send the damn chickens back to their coup and let the ass kicking convention begin.

Yeah, Delaware is going to need their defense to give them short fields if not score themselves to have a shot in this one. I think they're really going to struggle to score on JMU's D.

[bluehenbillk]

JMU will be an 18-20 point favorite or so. It's a shame this game couldn't be played back in October, UD had a healthy QB, the defense was clicking & things looked pretty good in Newark while JMU went up to UNH (maybe that was first game in Nov) & got their clocks cleaned. Now JMU is coming off a beatdown of TU while UD rolled over & was molested by VU Saturday. Not too confident.

I don’t give Delaware much of a chance here unless the turnover margin is skewed heavily in the Blew Chicks favor.

Blue Hens offense will get a spark from #14 as the kid has a Johnny Manziel (Texas A&M version) light look to him. The downside is he makes his living with his legs & he will take an awful beating from the JMU defense.

I have always thought that the Delaware defense is so overrated & saw that again in The Battle of the Blue game.
Mobile QBs are a problem for the Hens. JMU will move the football most of the game unless they cough it up.

Add in that JMU has an explosive return game & solid kicking game.

Id say 28-10 or 35-10 is the score. Closer if the Blew Chicks are +3 or more in turnover margin. xpeacex

[aust42]

Delaware doesn't deserve to be in the playoffs coming off two straight effortless losses to end the season. To lose to Nova at home, on Sr. Day, playoffs on the line was embarrassing. Nova deserved to win but got dam that was a listless effort on the Hens part. That being said JMU is going to whoop our azzes. Delaware is not a good football team.

I'm sorry but 24 teams in the playoffs is way too many. We don't deserve to be in the playoffs and neither do about 8 other teams. Northern Iowa with a 6-5 record, two others with 6-4 records and a host of other mediocre 7 win teams? Yawn.

[Gangtackle11]

If u can call it that Henny. Even a blind bluehen finds its chicken feed every once in awhile. xlolx

Your QB has a concussion, the backup resembles a faster Karen Carpenter. The older Kardashian apparently in the witness protection program this Saturday?

Over/under is 2nd quarter for the Gohens.net sunshine boys start calling for Rocco’s Head. Best bet of the weekend.

Relax. I’m allowed to make a prediction. I’ll take JMU straight up if u are that confident.

I bought into the Delaware is back commentary, but my eyes don’t lie to me. That Blew Chick doesn’t have more than a puncher’s chance. That hurts your feelings than so be it.

All I did was make a prediction. You didn’t like it. Too bad.

Ah, but when some of those 6-win teams whoop ass on a 9-win team? Is that exciting?

For better or worse, it is a requirement to have at least 20 teams in the FCS playoffs, given that there are ten autobid qualifiers. The NCAA regulations require that any playoff must have at least as many at large teams participating as there are auto-qualifiers. Until that regulation changes (and I doubt it will), then it doesn't do any good to complain about it.

Mr. Chicken & carrib are alright with me. Henny was hit in the head by Tubby Raymond too many times. Is what it is. xpeacex

[Anthony215]

I was shocked Delaware got in after that huge margin loss at home to a underachieving and not so good Villanova squad. I figured Delaware had to win or at least lose a close game to have a shot at a playoff game. What is insane is that if they had played with some intensity and heart and won that game they'd be hosting a game this weekend in Newark instead of having to take the 4 hour bus ride down to Virginia on Friday morning. Should be a good game but I don't think the Hens has the offense to keep up with the Dukes in Harrisonburg especially if they have a good crowd showing of 18-20k loud fans on hand. I have a few guys from my city suiting up for the Hens so I'm proud 2 of them who are seniors including a captain get to go out and have some NCAA playoff fun to end their careers.

Yeah I know I'm a salty Bluehen fan and just beotching. I thought the 16 team playoff was perfect from a competitive factor. When you start cherry picking teams to fill a 17-24 team bracket your picking teams that just cannot compete with top tier FCS programs.

24 teams is way too many. Football is obviously a physical sport so I don't believe more is better. Having elite teams risk injury against a few of these place holders does no one any favors. I loved 16!! I'd live with 18.

There should also be qualifiers for Auto-bids. If you're not in the Top 30-35 in the computers rankings you're out. Likewise if you have a losing record. This isn't March Madness.

The difference is you didn’t beat Nova then either. Nice try. You get an extra week of life as on Saturday then you & the Geritol boys complain about the JMU thumping you take.

The difference is you didn’t beat Nova then either. Nice try. You get an extra week of life as on Saturday then you & the Geritol boys complain about the JMU thumping you take.

Hey Dukie, that must be a nervous laugh I hear coming out of you, seeing you had to cancel your cruise or whatever plans you had for bye week, but just know this, while Villanova brings out the worst in the Hens, Jane Madison brings out our best, your a tad nervous of the chickens coming down and ruining your playoff party right, not the patsie you had anticipated in the first round, Delaware will make you earn that trip to North Pole where the early forecast is calling for a blizzard

JMU hasn't had a push over to start the playoffs under Houston yet. Another year, another BS opening round game from the committee. They'll be fine. No nervous laughs this week. Should be a hell of a game though. Keep an eye on the weather forecast though. Currently looks like crap.

2017 - Stony Brook

OVC officiating crew in this one according to the refstripes discussion board (http://www.refstripes.com/forum/index.php?topic=14211.0).

I've never understood why when there's an intra-conference playoff game they can't have that conference's crew work the game. I still recall the worst officiated playoff game (by far) that I've ever seen NDSU play in was a 2nd round game against SDSU in 2014 with a horrible CAA crew. The conference crews are familiar with the players, coaches, and styles of play. Let them officiate it.

All things being said I expect the Hens to give the Dukes all they can handle this weekend. This isn't anywhere near the JMU team of the past few years with Schor, even their own fans seem to be torn when it comes to who they want playing under center. The crowd isn't a factor this week, it's Thanksgiving so the crowds are significantly smaller everywhere, it's going to rain which will keep fans away, & if you've ever been to a JMU game you'll know 50% of the fans don't come back after halftime anyway.

Maybe this game can re-spark a rivalry that hasn't really sizzled since D.J. "cheap shot" Bryant was making it rain penalty flags when he wore purple & gold....

-For JMU fans, EVERYONE this fall right up until the selection show was expecting JMU to have a bye. A lot have other plans/won't make it.

[BDKJMU]

First I'm hearing about anything, unless you're referencing his two punt return performance vs VU in October.
+ the 1 punt return for a TD against NSU. Had a 4th one called back against Elon (1 of 2 TDs JMU had called back due to questionable penalties in that 27-24 loss)..Last 4 games teams have been either trying to punt away from Amos, or not allowing him an opportunity for a return. Often will lead to better field position for JMU, something that doesn’t show up in the stats.

3rd straight season that JMU has had a 1st team All CAA punt returner. 2016 Rashard Davis (All American, 2017 with Eagles, now with Raiders), last year John Miller, and now the rSo Amos.

His 1st year starting at safety where he’s only been so-so..

Have to agree with carrib here. The best of the CAA (pick your team) is not winning in Fargo or Frisco this season. I like JMU big here unless weather and/or turnovers happen. (Sorry Henny). Any realist paying attention knows that Delaware’s offense is pedestrian w/o Kane &/or Kehoe. The defense is overrated to some & shows signs of mediocrity against better CAA offenses.


31-10 JMUor worse. (sorry to Hen fans who want to puff out their chests for making the playoffs and exiting abruptly)

7-5 for the late great eastern football power is as good as it gets. xpeacex

[Henny]

We heard you the first, second and third time Gang Tackle. All Delaware people know were up against it! Just glad to finally get back to the post season and take another step forward.

JMU is still a very talented team and they could very well win it all, but they just don’t seem the same without Schor, he made them very dangerous. I know it’s kind of a “no ****” thought, but this is the first extended JMU watch I have had.

[JSUSoutherner]

UD putting in work on D.

Sucks for the flag. 100% not targeting.

UD's offense might be the worst I've seen this season. Oof.

[kdinva]

Final is 20-6.......no mention yet on the live stats page (maintained now by the ncaa) of the attendance.

[jmuwishyouhadadukedog]

Mike Houston/Donnie Kirkpatrick need to open up the playbook against Colgate. Delaware committed to shutting down the run game and it wasn't until he actually allowed DiNucci to toss the ball around that we could get anything going. Our offense isn't what it was in 2016 or even 2017.

Defense and special teams were solid.

I predict a close, low scoring game against Colgate. I think we can win but admittedly, wouldn't be surprised if we lost (especially if our offense is that vanilla) and would be very pleasantly surprised if we get by NDSU if we win against Colgate.

[CommishBigSmooth]

Holy God, that was awful offense by Delaware for the most part.
JMU did what they had to do, but their running game left much to be desired.

[Bison56]
