After going 9 for 13 against CCU (3 of those incompletetions were dropped passes) and rushing for 129 yards against Nova he throws for 300 and rushes for 70. Landers 25 for 32, despite about 3 drops and no LC Baker (top receiver) from late in the 2nd quarter on due to his hamstring injury. HOLY ACCURACY! xbowx xeekx Literally everything short and mid range was right on the money. I'd never thought I'd say this, but he's AT LEAST as accurate as Rascati and a better runner. JMU coach Mickey Matthews said in the post game that he thought Landers was the best player in the country (I know, that's MM being MM) but Landers should start getting some consideration as a Payton candidate, at least if he keeps playing this way. JMU puts up 507 yds offense against Nova, and hold Nova to 201 (53 of that was on Nova's late 4th quarter drive with their starters against JMU's backups after JMU was up 35-0) JMU just DOMINATED offensively and defensively.
If other opponents want to stack the line like Nova did, then Landers can just kill them with the pass. With Holloman out and JMU's running back by committee, JMU is showing that they'll be more balanced, and just as hard to stop. Little LC with his 4.3 speed and 3 big 6'2''-6'3", 210-215 wideouts that can run
And Nova had won 7 straight against I-AA and only lost to Maryland 31-17. I'm just hoping JMU takes care of business against Northestern & URI, then has their bye week before their big showdown with UR and bigger with Delaware (I hope that game is an 8-0 UD vs a 7-1 JMU for a shot at the CAA title and #1 seed).
