YSU marches down the field and get a FG on the opening drive, but EWU responds with a quick TD. The Eagles lead 31-20.

I wouldn't be opposed to it! I have a hard time seeing it happening, but it would be cool if it did.

Saw a rumor online that Coach Jerry Brady is being brought onto Hawkins' staff. I don't have confirmation, but it would make sense as he coached in Hawkins' staff for the US national team and played football at Sioux Falls where new defensive coordinator, Robert Tucker, coached.

Ha! I wish!

I've been out on the road, but I just got home to see the last play of the 2nd half. Eastern Washington is up 24-17 at halftime. Going to be an interesting 2nd half!

Youngstown State @ Eastern Washington will be on ESPNU 3:30 PST. Gotta root for the Big Sky in this one!

good call 6th!

TURNOVER ON DOWNS! JMU IS TAKING KNEES! JAMES MADISON WINS! THE REIGN OF NDSU IS OVER!!!!

But in all seriousness, I don't know if we will ever see a program as dominant as NDSU again at this level. 5 straight championship wins is insane. They will still be a good program though, I'm just glad that somebody else will get named champs this year.

JMU forced to punt. Bison take over with 2 minutes to go!

James Madison takes over on downs!! Still up by 10 less than 4 minutes to go!

TOUCHDOWN JAMES MADISON!!!! THEY TAKE A 2 SCORE LEAD WITH 7 MINUTES LEFT TO PLAY!!!!!

27-17 DUKES!

JMU knocks in a FG! Dukes back up 20-17

End of the 3rd quarter, still all tied up. This one is a nail biter, finally a team that can compete with NDSU at least.

JMU's right tackle takes like his 5th false start of the game, next play they allow a sack. JMU is falling apart.

NDSU misses a FG that would have given them their first lead of the game.

JMU throws an INT... ugh my dream of not seeing NDSU in final is going down the toilet.

Roles have completely reversed 2nd half. NDSU runs in another TD and the JMU defense has looked pretty confused. Now tied at 17.

NDSU knocks in a field goal. 17-10 JMU.

C'mon Dukes got to respond on this next drive, NDSU is starting to pick up steam.

Power running, for a majority of the first half they were trying go the A and B gap, but they started to open up their play calling with more passing towards the end of the 2nd quarter which is when they scored.

No west coast offense is your Bill Walsh offense. Stretch the defense and go downfield or draw plays, ect.

Halftime 17-7 James Madison. The Dukes had 300 yards of offense in the first half against a good NDSU defense.
