Jsut a Furman guy here wanting to say what a great game. Shame Landers had to be out and either team had to lose.
Also a few (I think) objective points:
- JMU was tough and did not give up! (even with deficit and QB adversity)
- Another game which proves you win with the "BIG UGLIES" on the OL and DL - and that is meant as credit to BOTH teams. Montana had a great OL yet JMU showed how great theirs was too by showing me they could beat 95% of teams (and even a great Montana team on a night with less turnovers) with their 2nd string QB. When you can run for freakin' 7 yards a play on the read option every other play you will win a lot of games. Just flat out great OL play on both sides of the ball.
- Credit to Dudzic(sp?) - Sure JMU has a great OL so he could run or hand off for a lot of yards but his passes (except the last of the first half) were MONEY - heck, even his 4th and 20 should have been caught... He would be starting at A LOT of FCS schools. I was impressed. JMU obviously has a lot of depth.
- Nice play calling by Montana. I love me some shovel pass.
Good game to both. Enjoyed watching FCS in HD!
