Welcome to JMU Football
A Message From Coach Mickey Matthews
Welcome to JMU Football . Representing James Madison University is a tremendous opportunity and something I’ve thoroughly enjoyed during my 10 seasons in Harrisonburg as head football coach . Being a part of an outstanding university and athletic department and a great community is exciting and fulfilling . JMU year in and year out appears in the listings of the nation’s top universities, and the opportunities for JMU students are nearly limitless . The atmosphere here provides one of the more-unique places in the nation to be a student-athlete, and the combination of the beauty of our campus and the outstanding academic programs makes this is a great place to grow and develop to your potential . More significant in JMU being the institution it has become is its people . Everyone takes great pride in the commitment to put our students first . The faculty, staff, administration, alumni and boosters are truly special, and our coaching staff recognizes their contributions and role in our program . Our football program also receives outstanding support . The student-athlete academic service staff is second to none, and we have one of the top strength and conditioning coaches in college football, someone whose primary responsibilities are with our team . Equally impressive is our sports medicine staff that combines in-house professionals with a skilled team of associated physicians . Nowhere will you find a harder working group working toward a common goal . Bridgeforth Stadium/Zane Showker Field, our on-campus facility, provides a fabulous gameday environment, and the variety of activities surrounding our contests nicely complements the competition on the field . Planned expansion of the stadium to nearly 25,000 seats beginning after the 2009 season will keep our facilities on the cutting edge in college athletics . The Plecker Athletic Performance Center adjacent to the stadium houses all of our football-related functions as well as providing state-of-the-art academic support, and few institutions have facilities to rival it . We’ve enjoyed great success -- both on the field and off -- and the excitement surrounding our program continues to grow with four postseason appearances during the last five years . We are looking forward to building on our excellent tradition and hope you will join us for the fun! Sincerely, Mickey Matthews, Head Football Coach 2

The Dukes since the beginning of the 2004 season have compiled a 49-15 overall record and have made four NCAA playoff appearances . appearances JMU during that period has won a national championship, is 33-7 in conference play, and has won one conference crown outright and another . tied for another Having maintained a position among the elite programs in the NCAA Football Championship Subdivision, the Dukes for the 2009 season expect to return 42 let lettermen, including 11 starters, from a year ago . ago JMU last season was 12-2 overall, and the Dukes won the Colonial Athletic Association championship with an 8-0 record . JMU will be playing for the 11th season under Mickey Matthews, who during the 2008 campaign became the program’s all-time winningest coach coach . Matthews has a 76-46 JMU record and has directed the Dukes to five straight winning seasons and to six straight campaigns with at least a .500 record .
Outstanding Tradition JMU was 13-2 during its NCAA championship season in 2004, 7-4 in 2005, 9-3 in 2006, 8-4 in 2007 and 12-2 in 2008 . The Dukes have been included in the top 25 in 65 of the last 68 FCS polls conducted by The Sports Network, including each of the last 44 . They’ve been ranked in the top 10 in 31 of the last 36 polls, including in each of the last season’s 15 . JMU a year ago held the No . 1 position in the national polls from late September through the end of the regular season and was the top seed for the NCAA playoffs . The Dukes were rewarded with three consecutive home playoff games and finished the year ranked No . 3 nationally . JMU during the 2008 season had a 7-1 record against nationally ranked opponents . Of JMU’s 15 losses during the last five seasons, three have been to Football Bowl Subdivision opponents and three in the NCAA playoffs . The Dukes are 21-8 against nationally ranked FCS foes since the start of the 2004 season .
2009 Outlook Of JMU’s 11 returning starters, six are on offense and five on defense . Of the 42 expected returning lettermen, 22 played offense a year ago, 17 were on defense, and three were specialists . The team lost 27 lettermen, including 13 on offense, 12 on defense, and two who were specialists . The Dukes return six players who received All-CAA honors last season and another who won one of the league’s top rookie awards . They lost seven players who were all-league, including four first-team honorees . “I think we’ll be a better team in October and November than we will be in September,” said Matthews, who was last season’s CAA coach of the year and the FCS national coach of the year by The Sports Network and Liberty Mutual . “We’ll have to make some improvement at quarterback, linebacker and safety to be a top team . It remains to be seen how we develop .” The leading returnees include senior cornerback Scotty McGee, who was All-CAA and All-America as a kick returner; senior offensive guard Dorian Brooks, who was second-team All-CAA and honorable mention All-America; senior defensive tackle Sam Daniels and senior defensive end Arthur Moats, both of whom were third-team All-CAA; junior Griff Yancey, who was third-team All CAA as a halfback/fullback; and junior offensive tackle Theo Sherman, who was third-team all-league . Sophomore Pat Williams was last season’s CAA defensive rookie of the year as a safety . The key losses include first-team All-CAA honorees in safety Marcus

Haywood, quarterback Rodney Landers, center Scott Lemn, and cornerback Evan McCollough and other all-league honorees in offensive tackle Terrence Apted, tailback Eugene Holloman, and defensive end Hassan Abdul-Wahid . McGee in 2008 was an electrifying performer who returned four kicks for touchdowns . He ignited JMU’s rally from a 21-0 halftime deficit to a 35-32 win over Appalachian State with a 99-yard return of the second-half kickoff for a touchdown, and his 69-yard punt return for a score with one second to play gave the Dukes their 38-31 victory at Richmond . Brooks and Sherman were key players on an offensive line that helped JMU average 38 .1 points and 401 .4 yards per game, including 282 .8 yards rushing, last season . Daniels and Moats helped the JMU defense limit opponents to 133 .8 yards per game rushing a year ago . Yancey ran for 518 yards and 10 touchdowns and had 19 receptions -- second on the team -- including three for scores . Williams tied for third on last season’s team in tackles with 65 . Yancey moved to free safety at the close of the spring practice period and could become a leading defender for the Dukes, according to the JMU staff . He was among several offensive players moved to defense during the spring practice period . Former wide receiver Mike Allen was listed as a probable cornerback starter and former tailback Jon Rose as a contender for playing time at safety following spring drills . Landers in 2008 had what may be the best season in JMU history, running for a team-record 1,770 yards and 16 touchdowns, throwing for 1,534 yards and a team-record 21 scores, and compiling a team-record 3,304 yards of total offense . Before suffering an ankle injury during the first half of JMU’s NCAA semifinal game, he had run for 100 yards in 10 games, thrown 18 touchdown passes in the Dukes’ previous eight contests, and directed an offense that for the season had a 51 percent thirddown conversion efficiency efficiency . Landers was Virginia Division I player of the year (Bill Dudley Award) and runner-up for FCS player of the year honors . Lemn won the Rimington Award as the nation’s top FCS center and with Apted gave the Dukes two standout senior offensive linemen . Haywood (101 tackles, team-high five intercep-tions) and McCollough (83 tackles, two interceptions) were the team’s top tacklers . Holloman was the team’s No . 2 rusher (1,046 yards, nine touchdowns), and Abdul-Wahid took part in 60 tackles . Rockeed McCarter
Offense Employing a spread attack JMU during the last five seasons has averaged 28 .1 points per game in 2004, 35 .5 in 2005, 32 .4 in 2006, 33 .3 in 2007 and 38 .1 in 2008 . The Dukes during the same period have had per-game total offense averages of 367 .7 yards in 2004, 404 .4 in 2005, 391 .2 in 2006, 410 .0 in 2007, and 401 .4 in 2008 . JMU in 2009 will rely on the same offensive scheme and will have returning starters in Brooks at guard, Sherman at tackle, senior Mike Caussin at tight end, senior Charlie Newman as a tight end/H-back, and senior Rockeed McCarter and junior Marcus Turner at wide receiver . Senior wide receiver Bosco Williams also has been used extensively as a starter, and sophomore wide receiver Kerby Long was in the wide receiver rotation throughout last season . “We have a chance to be better on offense; I think we have more speed,” Matthews said . “A lot will depend on how we play at quarterback . I think we’ll be able to throw the ball better; we have more ability at the skill positions .”
2009 Season Preview Junior Drew Dudzik and redshirt freshman Justin Thorpe shared playing time at quarterback during the spring and will enter preseason camp in a similar situation, Matthews said . Dudzik has worked behind Landers the last two seasons and got his most-extensive playing time when Landers left last season’s NCAA semifinal game late during the opening half half . Dudzik ran for 88 yards and two touchdowns and threw for 70 yards during that game . The Dukes expect to use several tailbacks with junior Jamal Sullivan, redshirt sophomore Scott Noble, and sophomore Corwin Acker the top contenders at the position following spring drills . Noble sat out last season after playing in 2007 as a true freshman, and Acker saw action a year as a true freshman, working mostly on special teams .

Matthews Says: Entering the fall the quarterback position is a dead heat with Drew Dudzik and Justin Thorpe . The only thing that is certain is that they’re both going to play . Both can run; both can throw . Drew is more experienced; Justin probably is faster and has a little stronger arm . We’ll just have to see how things work out . Dudzik last season appeared in each JMU game (he was the team’s holder for placements) and completed 17 of 32 passes for 110 yards and a touchdown and ran 31 times for 199 yards and four scores . Landers’ outstanding play of the last two seasons didn’t allow him the opportunity for much playing time, but in last season NCAA semifinals he directed a pair of scoring drives and had the Dukes in scoring position on another series . The JMU staff has considered Thorpe a good fit in its spread attack, but the second-year quarterback is yet to appear in a game at the college level .

Matthews Says: We think we’re going to be improved on the offensive line from last year; we have guys who have played a lot . I think all five of our projected starters are quality players; we just don’t have a lot of depth . We have to develop depth during our August practices . Brooks will be expected to lead the unit, and he and Sherman provide the Dukes with a pair of third-year starters . The JMU staff anticipates Brooks being among the CAA’s top offensive linemen and a contender for national recognition, and Sherman should be among the conference’s leading under underclassmen at an offensive line position . Sophomore Roane Babington was a top of offensive line reserve a year ago and is expected to assume the guard position opposite Brooks, replacing Arthur Walker, a 2008 sophomore starter who is no longer in the JMU program . . Junior Brandon Monroe is projected to start at the tackle position opposite Sherman after playing sparingly previously but impressing the JMU staff with his development during the spring . Senior Donnie Smith is the expected starter at center after working as a reserve a year ago in his first JMU season after transferring from West Virginia . Junior Jerald Brown and redshirt freshman Lue Akuak at tackle, redshirt freshman guard Richard Williams and junior center Brett Ainsley at center were listed as probable top line reserves after spring practice .

2007 Letterman Without 2008 Letter: TB Scott Noble
Running Back Matthews Says: We were very deep at the be-ginning of spring practice, but we kept moving guys to defense . It’s the deepest position on the team . I think we’ll be improved from a year ago . Jamal Sullivan is the most experienced of the group, and the only thing that has kept him from being an outstanding player has been his health . Sullivan, Noble and Acker give the Dukes a trio of tailbacks with Sam Daniels playing experience . Add in redred shirt freshman Lee Reynolds and several incoming freshman running backs, and the JMU staff was confident enough in the position to shift Yancey and Rose to defense during spring drills . Sullivan and Noble both demonstrated potential during the 2007 season when returning allleague performer Eugene Holloman was sidelined by injury, and Acker saw extensive special teams play a year in his first college season . Reynolds provides good speed and ability as a receiver out of the backfield . Sullivan ran for 177 yards and two scores in 2008 despite being sidelined for much of the season’s first half and for 212 yards and four touchdowns in 2007 . Noble ran for 97 yards and four touchdowns in 2007 before being held out of play a year ago, and Acker last season ran for 135 yards and a touchdown while seeing action in some capacity in all 14 JMU games . Yancey was a solid all-around running back, carrying for 1,183 yards and 18 touchdowns and catching 28 passes for 305 yards and four scores during the last two seasons . He was second on the team in rushing in 2007 and third last season . Rose saw limited playing time last season, carrying six times from scrimmage as a redshirt freshman . Junior Donnell Brown is expected to be used with the Dukes employ a fullback . He ran six times from scrimmage last season .
Receiver Matthews Says: We’re very experienced at both wide receiver and at tight end . At wide receiver we have two guys are on NFL lists in Bosco Williams and Rockeed McCarter . Mike Caussin at tight end is improved as a blocker and is on NFL lists, and Charlie Newman is an excellent tight end/H-back . Wide receivers Williams and McCarter have been in the team’s playing rotation during each of the last three seasons; Turner was a starter late during the 2008 campaign; and sophomore Kerby Long saw extensive playing time a year ago . Senior Marcus Charity is a veteran performer, and sophomore Julius Graves could move into a key wide receiver role . Caussin and Newman both have played key roles at tight end during each of the last three seasons . McCarter led last season’s team in receptions (21) and touchdown catches (6) and has nine career receiving touchdowns among 47 career catches . Williams caught 16 passes, including three for scores, a year ago, and has four touchdown catches among his 39 career receptions . Long and Turner each had 14 receptions, including two for scores, last season . Long also averaged 10 .0 yards per attempt on 10 running plays . Caussin was third on last season’s team in receptions with 18, including five for touchdowns . He has 41 career catches, fourth all-time among JMU tight ends . His 10 career touchdown catches rank in a tie for 10th all-time among JMU players and are second to Neal Wilkinson’s (1984-87) 12 scoring receptions among tight ends . Newman has a touchdown catch during each of his three JMU seasons and fills a variety of roles for the Dukes .
Defense JMU has played well on defense throughout Matthews’ tenure with the Dukes -- five JMU players received league defensive player of the year honors during his 10 seasons -- but the long-time defensive position coach acknowledges some concerns with play on that side of the ball entering the 2009 season .

2009 Season Preview “The keys to the defense are going to be how well we play at the safety and linebacker positions,” Matthews said . “We have a lot of questions there, and we still could make some personnel moves .” The shifts of Allen, Yancey and Rose from offense during the spring were in response to defensive needs, and the JMU staff also expects to use Pat Williams at linebacker following his impressive freshman season a year ago at strong safety . Starters are back in their same positions on defense only in Daniels and Moats on the front and in sophomore Jamie Veney at linebacker . With Williams going to linebacker, Vidal Nelson is the likely starter at strong safety . Nelson moved from the secondary to linebacker last season when starter D .J . Brandon was lost for the year from an injury at Richmond Oct . 11 . Allen completed spring drills as a probable cornerback starter, and McGee has seen extensive starting time at cornerback, although his development as one of the nation’s leading kick returners a year ago somewhat reduced his availability on defense . The Dukes lost defensive starters in Abdul-Wahid and tackle J .D . Skolnitsky (61 tackles, 10 .5 stops for loss, 4 .5 sacks) on the front, Haywood and Gerren Griffin at safety, and McCollough and Darrieus Ramsey at cornerback . Griffin took part in 61 tackles in nine games last season, and Ramsey had 29 stops a year ago and two interceptions during each of the last two seasons . JMU hasn’t allowed as much as 325 yards per game in total offense during any of the last six seasons and a year gave up an average of but 307 .1 per game .
Line Matthews Says: It’s the most athletic group we’ve had up front . Arthur Moats and Sam Daniels are All-America candidates, and Ronnell Brown had a better spring than either of them . Moats tied for third on last season’s team in tackles with 65 and had team highs of 15 .5 stops for loss and 11 .5 sacks, just off Chris Morant’s (1998-2000) team season record of 12 sacks . Daniels took part in 42 tackles, including 12 for loss and six sacks . Brown was involved in 22 tackles a year ago, and sophomore defensive end Greg Woodson, who saw limited time last season, came out of spring drills as the fourth line starter . Senior Dominique White (5 stops last season) has been a situational tackle who will be counted on for an increased role; sophomore end D .J . Bryant and sophomore tackle Max Alexandre saw limited time a year ago; and redshirt freshman tackle Earl Watford and redshirt freshman end Aaron Harper should be in the playing rotation .
Linebacker Matthews Says: We have guys who can run . We feel we have good players, but they’re inexperienced . We’re to need to have guys step up . Chase Williams had an excellent spring; Jamie Veney had a good year last season as a true freshman; and Pat Williams going to linebacker is a good move for us . Veney tied for sixth on last season’s team in tackles with 61 and was a starter throughout his first college season, and Pat Williams has added size, making linebacker a better position for him, according to the JMU staff . Chase Williams sat out last season as a freshman redshirt but is player the JMU staff expects to assume a prominent role, and sophomore Markus Hunter was used at linebacker during the spring after seeing playing time last season in the secondary and on special teams .
Secondary Matthews Says: We feel good about our cornerbacks . Mike Allen going from wide receiver to cornerback was the move of the spring for us . He’s talented and played very well, and Scotty McGee when healthy is very good . At safety there are a lot of questions that we’ll have to answer during preseason camp . Strong safety is in good hands with Vidal Nelson and Jon Rose . Griff Yancey played well at free safety during the spring game, and we’ll continue to see how he plays there . Allen saw limited time at wide receiver last season but impressed the JMU staff on defense during the spring, and McGee took part in 30 tackles last
Arthur Moats season after being involved in 45 as a redshirt freshman in 2006 and 18 in 2007 2007 . Sophomore Taveion Cuffee had 17 tackles in 11 games as a true freshman in 2008 and redshirt freshman Ryan Smith should ensee playing time at cornerback after en rolling at JMU for the spring semester Nelson is at his more-natural position at strong safety, and the JMU staff likes Rose there . Sophomore Bill Roman also could see strong safety time after playing mostly on special teams as a true freshman last season . Sophomore Jon Williams, who had 17 tackles, and senior Jamaris Sanders, who had 23 stops last season and who has spot . secondary starting experience, are contenders for the weak safety spot Yancey impressed the JMU staff during his brief time at free safety late during the spring, and senior Brandon Randolph has lettered twice and provides experience .
Special Teams Matthews Says: Dixon Wright had a solid spring and has become more consistent; our punt punters have to get better . In Scotty McGee we have the premier return man in the nation . McGee averaged 29 .11 yards on kickoff returns and 12 .99 yards on punt returns and returned the kickoff against Appalachian State for a touchdown and two punts for scores in addition to the one against Richmond . He has JMU’s three best season kickoff return averages, and his four overall returns for scores and three punt returns in a season a year ago are both JMU records . Wright was used briefly as a kickoff specialist last season when Jason Pritchard was injured, and he had 48- and 39-yard field goals during JMU’s spring game . In addition to Pritchard, who was the team’s punter for three seasons and who averaged 37 .44 yards per kick last season, the Dukes also lost placekicker Dave Stannard . Stannard hit on 11 of 15 field goal attempts and 66 of 68 conversion kicks last season and had 23 field goals and 115 conversions in two JMU seasons . Scotty McGee Sophomore Andy Smith (9 punts, 32 .00 average) and junior Matt Goff (8 punts, 42 .5) punted while Pritchard was sidelined last season, and they and redshirt freshman Matt Mares worked as punters during the spring .
Schedule JMU opens against an Atlantic Coast Conference team for the third straight year when it travels to Maryland Sept . 12 . The Dukes, who play 11 consecutive weeks after not having a game scheduled Sept . 5, play three non-conference games before meeting eight CAA opponents . They will have five home and six road games . JMU will meet Maryland for the second time (first met in 1998 in the season before Matthews’ arrival) and will renew series with state rivals Liberty and Virginia Military Institute . In the CAA, JMU will meet South opponents Delaware, Richmond, Towson, Villanova, and William & Mary and will play North foes Hofstra, Maine, and Massachusetts for the second straight season . “Not playing the opening week is not the best situation, and you’d like to have a break somewhere in the schedule,” Matthews said . “Having to play road games against Maryland and Liberty during the first three weeks and then moving directly into conference play will be difficult .”

2009 Coaching Staff
Mickey Matthews Head Coach Born: Nov. 8, 1953
Year at JMU: 11th Career Year: 11th Graduate of: West Texas State (1976) Hometown: Andrews, Texas JMU, Career Record: 76-46 Mickey Matthews during 10 seasons has firmly established James Madison University football among the nation’s leading Football Championship Subdivision programs. While becoming the winningest coach in JMU football history, he has led the Dukes to an NCAA championship (2004) and to four other playoff appearances (1999, 2006, 2007, 2008). Matthews has a 76-46 JMU record and during the 2008 season surpassed Challace McMillin’s (1972-84) program record for wins. McMillin, JMU’s first football coach, had a 67-56-1 mark. Matthews’ teams are 49-15 over the last five years and have won the program’s national title and received four post-season bids during that time. JMU tied for the 2004 Atlantic 10 championship and won the 2008 Colonial Athletic Association title with an 8-0 record. The Dukes are 33-7 in league play during the last five seasons. Matthews three times has been national coach of the year (1999 Eddie Robinson Award by The Sports Network; American Football Coaches’ 2004 award; 2008 Robinson Award, award by Liberty Mutual) and was Atlantic 10 coach of the year in 1999 and CAA coach of the year in 2008. JMU in 2004 was 13-2 and the first team to reach the Division I-AA title game with three road wins. JMU won at Lehigh (14-13), Furman (14-13) and William & Mary (48-34) and beat Montana (31-21) for the national crown. The 13 wins set a team season record. JMU’s 2004 losses were to nationally ranked Division I-A West Virginia and to a William & Mary team it later beat during the playoffs. The Dukes beat four nationally ranked teams during the regular season. JMU reached the 2006 playoffs while going 9-3 and 2007 post-season play while going 8-4. The Dukes in 2008 lost their opener at Football Bowl Subdivision Duke but went on to a 10-1 regularseason record and the top seeding in the NCAA playoffs. JMU tied its team record with 12 straight wins, set a team mark for regular-season wins, and was the nation’s top-ranked team from late September through the end of the regular season. The Dukes played three playoff games at home and reached the national semifinals. Matthews led JMU to a share of the Atlantic 10 title and to the league’s automatic playoff bid in 1999 during his first year as a head coach. The Dukes were 8-3 during the regular season after being 3-8 the previous year. In 2004 he was Virginia coach of the year by the state’s sports information directors and the Norfolk and Portsmouth sports clubs, Division I-AA coach of the year by the All-America Football Foundation, and recipient of the Amarillo (Texas) chamber of commerce’s achievement award. In 2006, he was the Richmond Touchdown Club’s Virginia coach of the year.

*****
Matthews’ JMU players have received eight league player of the year awards. Curtis Keaton was league offensive player of the year and Chris Morant defender of the year in 1999; Derrick Lloyd was co-defender of the year and received the Buck Buchanan Award as national defender of the year in 2001; Tony LeZotte was league defender of the year in 2005 and 2007; Akeem Jordan was league defender of the year and national defender of the year by College Sporting News in 2006; and Rodney Landers was league offensive player of the year and Scotty McGee league specialist of the year in 2008.
***** Matthews in 1999 took his JMU job a week before spring practice was to begin, inheriting a team that had won but five of its previous 18 games and was picked to finish next to last in the Atlantic 10. The Dukes lost at Division I-A national runner-up Virginia Tech but then won seven straight games, finished the regular season 8-3 overall and 7-1 in the Atlantic 10, reached post-season play for the first time in four years. The Dukes were named to 12 spots on the league’s three all-star teams, and Keaton and Morant receiving player of the year honors was the first time in the league since 1980 that teammates won the awards. Never before had the same program gotten both player awards and the coaching honor. Matthews was introduced as JMU’s fifth head coach March 22, 1999, succeeding Alex Wood, who left to become quarterbacks’ coach with the NFL’s Minnesota Vikings.
***** Matthews’ 2000 team was nationally ranked for most of the year before finishing 6-5 and had nine players receive all-league honors. His 2001 team, with only 11 seniors and 54 freshmen and
The Matthews Family: Clayton, Kay, Meredith Anne, grandson, Jackson, Mickey, son-in-law Ken Wells Granddaughter, Taylor, not included.
2009 Coaching Staff red-shirt freshmen, was 2-9 with seven games decided by seven or fewer points. JMU in 2002 was 5-7 and won two of its final three games with a squad that included only six seniors and five juniors. The Dukes won two overtime games, and six of their other contests were decided by seven or fewer points. JMU had eight All-Atlantic 10 honorees. JMU in 2003 was 6-6 with a team that had but four seniors. His 2004 team won seven games by 10 or fewer points and two others that were scoreless into the second half. The balanced and deep JMU squad had only three first-team all-league honorees, including first-team AllAmericas in offensive guard Matt Magerko and LeZotte, but had seven members named to the second and third all-league units. JMU’s 7-4 team in 2005 had a first-team All-America in LeZotte, and in 2006 Jordan was runner-up for the Buchanan Award. The 2006 Dukes had seven first-team all-league picks, and JMU was first nationally in kickoff return average (27.1 yards), second in sacks (4.0 per game), and fourth in rushing defense (84.8 yards per game) and passing efficiency (162.5). The 2007 Dukes were 8-4 after falling 28-27 to eventual champion Appalachian State in the first round of NCAA play. LeZotte received his second league defender of the year award and All-America honors for the fourth time, and JMU was the national leader in fewest quarterback sacks allowed (0.5 per game).

His Philosophy For A Successful Program Our first focus is to graduate every player . They’re here to go to school . A lot of coaches give lip service to that, but our players will find out in a hurry how serious I am about us going to school; I want every youngster to graduate . Secondly, I want to make sure everyone has a good time, really work at it . I’m easy to get along with, and our staff is that way . I want to make sure they have a good time because I tell all the players this will be the best time of their lives, being a college football player and attending JMU . The third thing is that while we’re graduating everybody and everybody is having a good time, we’ll try to win football games . Believe me, winning is important; that’s why they have the scoreboard . Winning has to be something you think about every day . Winning has to be something you don’t talk about, you have to train yourself to do it . And our youngsters will do it, believe me .
and our coaches had worked with Mark in camps . We thought we knew what we were getting . He’s fit in well and we’re excited to have him . Mo Linguist has been another excellent addition to our staff . He’s a highly qualified young coach who relates to our players and who will recruit well .
Strength & Conditioning Coach Jim Durning The importance to our team of Jim Durning and his staff of assistants cannot be overestimated . His motivational and organizational skills in strength and conditioning have brought outstanding results to our entire program . He conducts an outstanding year-round program, and we are a much stronger and better-conditioned football team because of Coach Durning’s work with our players . Our players have great respect for him and the leadership he provides .
JMU’s Athletic Performance Center Not only is the Plecker Athletic Performance Center the top FCS facility in the nation, it’s a top-40 end zone facility . The fact that we can combine our locker room, our strength and conditioning area, our academic support areas, our sports medicine area, and our office areas under one roof allows us to accomplish so much more than what we were able to do in the past . More than anything else, the completion of the facility demonstrates the university’s commitment to having a first-class football program . It speaks volumes to the players we would like to recruit to our program and to the outside world . We’ve always had a beautiful campus to recruit to; putting the facility on top of that is extremely advantageous for our recruitment of student-athletes .
JMU’s Planned Stadium Expansion We already have an excellent playing facility but are looking forward to the next several years and the planned additions and upgrades at Bridgeforth Stadium/Zane Showker Field . We’ve gotten outstanding support during recent seasons, and moving to nearly 25,000 seats will allow our program to continue to develop and for more of our fans to enjoy everything that’s included in JMU football . Not only will there be increased seating, but everything included in the planned expansion should make for a more-enjoyable experience for everyone involved with JMU football .
His Offensive Philosophy We strive to be balanced because offensive football always has been about taking advantage of your available personnel . We want to be known as a multiple offensive football team that presents preparation problems to our opponents . We have a wide-open philosophy that our fans enjoy, but we don’t sacrifice solid, offensive football principles .
His Staff
His Defensive Philosophy
It’s a fact on the FCS level that if you win, you’re going to have turnover on your staff . We’ve been fortunate here that we’ve kept much of our staff together for several years . I like our staff . It’s a close-knit group that works well together . We have the best group of recruiters that we’ve had, and they continue to do a solid job . Our two coordinators are very solid, are excellent leaders, are intelligent and good organizers, and make excellent game decisions . I really like the leadership Jeff Durden (offensive coordinator) provides, and Kyle Gillenwater (defensive coordinator) has been here since my hiring and will do an excellent job in his new role . Our coaches have great rapport with our players, and I think that shows on Saturdays in how we play . We’ve always felt that we have the best strength and conditioning coach (Jim Durning) in college football, and we’re happy that he’s still with us . We’ve had a lot of stability . You’re going to have movement on a staff; you can’t hide good coaches . It’s a huge compliment that so many people have inquired about our assistants . Chris Malone took over as our offensive line coach after splitting the responsibilities the year before, and we didn’t lose a thing there . We lost Joe Danna (secondary coach in 2007) but brought in Mark Hendricks . They’re very similar,
Our base defense is an eight-man front, and we want to be extremely multiple . We want to blitz and use an attacking front . In pass coverage we play as much man-to-man as our talent allows . We place a premium on speed as opposed to size .

His Recruiting Philosophy We concentrate our recruiting in Virginia, the Washington, D .C ., and Baltimore areas, and Eastern Pennsylvania . We hope to attract top student-athletes who are quality football players and who can contribute to JMU’s strong academic environment . We continue to recruit very well in Virginia, and that’s because of the makeup of our staff . I’ve recruited in Virginia for more than 15 years, and (assistant) Kyle Gillenwater is a Virginia native with a lot of contacts . We have a Virginia presence on our staff, and that really helps . Five years ago we also added (assistant) Jeff Durden, who had previous coaching experience in the state . Assistants Ulrick Edmonds, Clayton Matthews and Josh Haymore played for us and have backgrounds in the state, and J .C . Price and Chris Malone have state ties after playing at Virginia Tech and coaching in the state before coming to JMU .
2009 Coaching Staff CAA The Colonial Athletic Association is the toughest FSC league in the country; no other conference has the quality of teams that we have from top to bottom . The 2004 season is a good example; we won the national championship, and four teams from our league made the playoffs and won games . Before the season, the coaches picked Villanova at the top of the league; Northeastern was listed by publications as one of the better teams in the country; and Maine went to Mississippi State and won . All three were excellent teams and because of one bad break or another didn’t make the playoffs . I think that speaks volumes for the strength and balance in our league . During the last two seasons the conference sent a record five teams to the playoffs, and every year we have multiple teams deserving of postseason bids .
JMU’s Recruiting We’re very happy with the quality of players we continue to attract, and the reason that we continue to be successful is that we have the best group of recruiters that we’ve ever had . We have an enthusiastic and hard-working group of recruiters . Mo Linguist has been a huge addition to our staff; he’s a young and energetic coach who is going to fit right in . Our incoming group of recruits will be our fourth since the completion of the Plecker Performance Center, and we’ve been able to attract a better group of players each year .
Perceptions Of The JMU Program We expect to be among the top FCS programs in the nation and feel that our recent success puts us in that grouping . We’re 49-15 over the last five seasons, have been in the playoffs four times during that period, have won a national championship, and consistently have been nationally ranked . One thing that puts a different light on our program is the way we won the national championship in 2004 . A lot of teams have depended on home crowds to get them over the top during the playoffs . The reason we’re looked at differently is that we reached the championship game by winning games in as difficult situations as you would ever want to walk into . We feel that our players are outstanding ambassadors for our program and university . We put our recruits with our returning players, and those players do a great job conveying the many things JMU and our program can offer .
His Attraction To JMU
JMU As A School The best salesmen for JMU are its former students . You never find JMU alumni who don’t highly recommend the university and say that their experience here was the best four or five years of their lives .
JMU’s Campus It’s impossible to visit JMU’s campus and not to be impressed with its beauty and dynamic growth .
JMU’s Administration Our administration not only has provided our support building, it also has been very supportive in helping us keep our staff intact . Our administrators continue to work to make sure that everything surrounding our program is handled in a first-class manner . They want football to be at the forefront representing JMU; and I believe that with good leadership, the sky is the limit for JMU football . I think it is impossible to walk into our stadium and not realize that our football program gets outstanding support support . President Rose, Mr . King (JMU vice president) and Mr Mr . Bourne (athletics director) want us to be successful, but they want things to be done the right way and provide us with what we need to do so .
JMU’s Support For Student-Athletes
What attracted me to this position was that JMU is the total package as an institution for the studentathlete . The academic reputation of the school is very high, and I always have thought that football at JMU had tremendous potential .
Our associate athletics director for studentathlete services, Casey Carter, is a cornerstone, not only for football but for the entire athletics program at JMU JMU . She puts the students first, and it shows in how she and her staff perform in their jobs on a day-to-day basis . basis

I learned from my dad that hard work and persever perseverance are two keys to being successful successful . He worked seven days a week and always said that good things would come to people who worked hard hard . The second thing is that I’m a product of Texas high school football football . I came up when Darrell Royal was at Texas, and he, Bum Phillips and Spike Dykes had a great deal of influence on itself . I played the coaches in the state and on the game itself for Gene Mayfield at West Texas State, and he started the Odessa-Permian dynasty . dynasty Finally Jim Donnan and Hal Mumme taught me about wide-open offenses and not being afraid to take chances .

Dr. Linwood H. Rose JMU President Dr. Linwood H. Rose became the fifth president of James Madison University in September 1998. Under his leadership, JMU has developed a reputation as one of the top public universities in the nation. JMU offers a studentcentered atmosphere that blends the best attributes of a liberal arts education, including superlative teaching and high levels of service and support, with the best qualities found at larger doctoral universities, including a wide breadth of programs, world-class faculty, state-of-the-art facilities and opportunities for students to be actively involved in research and discovery. National surveys continue to cite the university’s academic excellence and its emphasis on student involvement and civic engagement. JMU has also established itself as a leader in institutional performance measurement, accountability and assessment of student learning. The university has been recognized for offering proven value and an excellent return on investment to its students. Founded in 1908, the university recently completed a year-long celebration in honor of the institution’s 100th anniversary. Under Dr. Rose’s direction, the university community has inaugurated several new transformational initiatives which will chart the course for the university’s second century. These initiatives include enhanced diversity, the creation of a comprehensive campus master plan, and the Institute for Stewardship of the Natural World to promote a culture of sustainability on the JMU campus. Central to Dr. Rose’s administration have been efforts to diversify and expand JMU’s funding portfolio. The university successfully completed its first comprehensive capital campaign, benefiting from $70 million in contributions for scholarships, faculty support, and ongoing support for academic, co-curricular, and capital projects. The university’s budget has doubled since 1998, and JMU’s sponsored program activity also has expanded significantly. The university also has developed a strategic partnership with SRI International, a California-based research institute. Since Dr. Rose became president, more than a million square feet of new facilities have been added to the JMU campus and 20 new academic programs, including six doctoral programs, have been approved. Dr. Rose also led efforts to align the university more closely with the legacy of President James Madison, the fourth U.S. President and primary author of the U.S. Constitution. JMU is the only university in America named for Mr. Madison. In addition to his leadership role at JMU, Dr. Rose has represented JMU and Virginia in a variety of important roles on national, regional and state commissions and advisory boards. Dr. Rose serves as the only higher education representative on the National Infrastructure Advisory Committee that reports to the President of the United States. The committee makes recommendations regarding

Dr. Rose was formerly chair of the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS), the regional accrediting agency for 11 Southern states. He also has served as commissioner, Virginia state chairman, committee chair and executive council member for SACS. In addition, Dr. Rose served as a member of the Division I board of directors of the National Collegiate Athletic Association from 2000-04 and also has served as the Virginia state representative to the American Association of State Colleges and Universities (AASCU).

Jeff Bourne Athletics Director
Jeff Bourne is in his 11th year as JMU’s athletics director after working as an administrator in successful programs at Virginia Tech and Georgia Tech for 13 years. At JMU, he directs a program that is competitive within the Colonial Athletic Association and at regional and national levels and that has positioned itself to continue play a major role in intercollegiate athletics. Bourne has overseen restructuring to bring JMU’s program into full compliance with gender equity guidelines. He has led plans to insure the academic success of JMU student-athletes and is coordinating a facilities planning process that will provide the university with outstanding competition and fan venues for years to come. JMU will complete a baseball/softball complex for use beginning during the 2009-2010 academic year, and a $50 million expansion project at JMU’s Bridgeforth Stadium/Zane Showker Field will start after the 2009 football season. The football stadium expansion project will increase seating at the facility to nearly 25,000 and will feature major enhancements, including private suites and club level seating, improved concessions and restroom facilities, improved lighting, and a new media facility. Planning is underway for development of recently acquired university property that eventually will become competition and practice sites for several sports. Under Bourne, JMU has developed an enhanced volunteer fundraising network and a point-priority system to recognize donor participation and has implemented programs to increase game attendance and address the needs of athletics infrastructure. A major enhancement of JMU’s sports medicine operation has taken place; yearly fundraising totals have increased significantly; and a strategic planning process to enhance the organizational structure of the athletics division is being implemented. “We’re very proud of the accomplishments we’ve had, and we will continue to take the steps we feel appropriate to allow our programs to be competitive athletically and for our student-athletes to be successful academically,” Bourne said. “Our goals are to win conference championships and to advance our teams to post-season play while adhering to NCAA and conference guidelines and to graduate our student-athletes. “We continue to strengthen the infrastructure and facilities of the athletics program,” he said. “Our support centers and athletics personnel are dedicated to providing student-athletes with the best experience possible at the intercollegiate level. We also are extremely pleased with the construction of the Robert and Frances Plecker Athletic Performance Center, which benefits all of our student-athletes with state-of-the-art academic facilities and serves as an entrance and focal point for our football stadium. Other athletics facilities construction that is being planned and implemented on campus -- immediately new baseball and softball stadiums and enhancement of our football facility and later upgrades for other programs -- will provide JMU with outstanding competition sites.” During Bourne’s tenure more than 1,000 conference academic honors have been given to JMU student-athletes, including CAA scholar-athletes, CAA commissioner’s academic award winners and ECAC scholar-athletes of the year. JMU also has had four studentathletes receive NCAA post-graduate scholarships. Perhaps the best measure of success is the NCAA’s Academic Progress Rate. JMU has ranked well above the NCAA minimum standard for each of the program’s rating periods, and no JMU teams have been subject to APR-related penalties. Seven of JMU’s 18 teams had APR scores ranking in at least the 90th percentile of their respective sports in the most-recent APR release, the greatest number reaching that mark among any of the 12 Colonial Athletic Association institutions. The Plecker Performance Center, which opened during the spring of 2005, is among the more-significant projects in JMU athletics’
history. The $10 million facility is adjacent to Bridgeforth Stadium/ Zane Showker Field and features support areas for football and areas for entertaining during home football games and for JMU’s athletic hall of fame. Also included is the Challace McMillin Academic Center that benefits performers in all JMU sports programs. Advising and counseling for all of JMU student-athletes take place at the facility, which also includes an outstanding computer lab and strength training and sports medicine facilities. Bridgeforth Stadium/Zane Showker Field, the home of JMU’s football program, has had a large electronic scoreboard with live game action and video replay capabilities, an outstanding FieldTurf playing surface and an enhanced sound system added in recent years. Bourne served in several athletics roles at Virginia Tech from 1986-97 and was JMU Athletics senior associate athletics director at Georgia Tech from 1997-99. At Georgia Geoff Polglase Tech, he supervised finance, marketing and Deputy Director promotions, ticketing, sports information, and radio and television broadcasts and production. He also was liaison to the Alexander-Tharpe fund, the university’s development arm, and administered baseball and golf. At Virginia Tech, he was associate athletics director during his final two years, and he co-chaired a committee that Shelia Moorman reviewed gender equity at the school. The committee developed and implemented Associate Director, a plan that brought the school into Senior Woman compliance with federal guidelines and Administrator ranked it fifth nationally in compliance. A Salem, Va., native, Bourne was Virginia Tech’s athletics business manager and then associate athletics director for administration and finance.

Colonial Athletic Association Football (2004), Massachusetts’ Mark Whipple (1998) and Talley (1997) have been the American Football Coaches Association national coach of the year. While CAA Football officially began March 1, 2007, its roots date to Dec. 3, 1946, when the Code of the Yankee Conference went into effect. Established as an all-sports league for the New England land grant colleges, the six charter members were Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont. Upon the formation of Division I-AA football in 1978, the league disbanded all sports except football. Delaware and Richmond were admitted in 1986; Villanova was added in 1988; and JMU, Northeastern, and William & Mary started competing in 1993. The Atlantic 10 had operational control of the league from 1997-2006 with Hofstra joining in 2001 and Towson in 2004. Since 1978, CAA Football members have accumulated 67 playoff berths, 19 Lambert Cups, 88 final top-25 rankings and 44 final top-10 rankings.

2008 Review
2008 Review Duke 31, JMU 7
Wallace Wade S tadium Durham, N.C. -- Aug. 30
Duke scored three touchdowns during a 6:09 period midway through the game, putting together a 67-yard touchdown drive to lead 14-7 five seconds before halftime and taking control with two quick third-quarter scores after JMU turnovers. JMU’s Scotty McGee returned the secondhalf kickoff 60 yards to the Duke 34, but the Devils’ Jabari Marshall returned a second-down interception 67 yards to the JMU 22. DU scored six plays later to lead 21-7; got possession on a fumble recovery on JMU’s next offensive play; and six plays later upped the lead to 28-7 with 8:56 left in the third period. DU added a field goal on its next series to end the scoring in a game delayed at its start for nearly 90 minutes because of an electrical storm. The Devils got their go-ahead score late during the first half on a seven-yard Thaddeus Lewis-to-Eron Riley pass on third and one. The scoring toss capped a 14-play series after DU converted on fourth and one from the JMU 21. Marshall’s interception return set up a one-yard Clifford Harris scoring run at 11:53 of the third period, and Lewis and Riley connected on a 20-yard scoring strike for DU’s 28-7 lead after JMU’s fumble at its 34. DU moved from JMU’s 46 to the eight after a short punt for a 27-yard field goal at 3:03 of the third quarter. DU had 364 yards to JMU’s 239 and converted on nine of 18 third-down attempts. JMU failed to convert on any of its eight third-down tries and lost a fumble after reaching the DU nine early during the fourth quarter. JMU scored on a 47-yard run by Rodney Landers with 4:31 left in the first quarter to cap a five-play, 79-yard series and pull into a 7-7 tie. DU took a 7-0 lead at 7:06 of the first quarter when Harris capped an 11-play, 66-yard drive with a one-yard carry. McGee had 157 yards on five kickoff returns, matching JMU’s No. 5 all-time figure for game kickoff return yards. JMU Duke

2008 Review
2008 Review JMU 52, Massachusetts 38
JMU 35, Appalachian State 32
Rodney Landers broke his team record for quarterback rushing yards to lead JMU. The Dukes never trailed, scoring the game’s first two touchdowns and then leading by at least two scores for all but four minutes of the fourth quarter when Massachusetts got within 45-38 with 6:00 left. However, JMU answered with a 71yard drive that consumed 4:04, capped by a Griff Yancey touchdown with 1:56 left. Landers ran 26 times for 206 yards and two touchdowns and hit on four of six passes for 85 yards and a score. JMU also benefitted from the special teams play of Scotty McGee, who returned three punts for 92 yards and four kickoffs for 104 yards to set up several short scoring drives. UM’s Liam Coen threw for 339 yards and three scores, and Victor Cruz set stadium records with 13 catches and 262 receiving yards. JMU led 21-10 when it took possession on its 24 with 1:47 left in the first half. Landers led the drive in 1:09, capped by a 47-yard touchdown pass to Kerby Long. Coen then was intercepted by Evan McCollough, and Dave Stannard’s 46-yard field goal finished a 10-point JMU swing. The teams traded a pair of touchdowns each to open the last half before UM got to within 45-38 on a five-play drive in 1:00 with a two-yard scoring run by Tony Nelson. JMU took possession with 6:00 left, and Landers led the eight-play, 71-yard drive for the final margin.
JMU outscored Appalachian State 35-11 in the second half, turning a 21-0 deficit into a 35-32 win in a meeting of top-five teams before a stadiumrecord of 17,163. No. 5 JMU turned the game with big plays. JMU during the last half scored on a 99-yard kickoff return, a 62-yard run and a 35-yard pass and set up a score with a 47-yard run. Scotty McGee had a 99-yard return for a touchdown on the second-half kickoff to start JMU’s rally. After forcing ASU three-and-out, JMU then got a 62-yard touchdown run by Rodney Landers on its first offensive play of the half. ASU again went three-and-out on its next series, but a Landers interception set it up on a short field, leading to a 30-yard Jason Vitaris field goal. Another JMU quick-strike produced a touchdown with Landers finding Griff Yancey on a 35-yard pass on the second play of a 34-second drive to get JMU within 24-21. Landers led JMU on an eight-play, 46-yard drive, capped by a four-yard run by Eugene Holloman, to give the Dukes their first lead, 28-24, with 10:48 left. ASU appeared poised for a go-ahead score on the next series when Robert Welton was stripped of the ball by Jamie Veney with JMU recovering at its 13 with 8:21 left. The Dukes responded with their longest drive of the game with Landers scoring from the one with 2:31 left for a 35-24 lead. ASU came back with a five-play, 51-yard drive in just 0:49, the key a 38-yard Armanti Edwards-to-Josh Johnson pass to JMU’s four. Welton scored, and Edwards ran for the two-point conversion to cut the lead to 35-32. JMU then covered an onside kick try, ran three plays and had time expire on a fourth-down punt.

2008 Review JMU 24, Maine 10
Alfond Stadium Orono, Maine -- Sept. 27
Rodney Landers ran for 156 yards and a touchdown and threw for 108 yards; Griff Yancey scored twice; and JMU pulled away late. Landers, who ran 27 times, scored on a 30-yard run in the third quarter for a 10-3 JMU lead and hit on seven of 13 passes. Yancey ran 10 times and scored from 12 and 30 yards after Maine tied the score, 10-10, early during the final period. The win was Coach Mickey Matthews’ 68th in 10 JMU years and made him JMU’s winningest coach. JMU went in up to stay on the series after Maine pulled into the 10-10 tie but not before the Bears apparently had gotten the ball with their second successful on-sides kick of the game. However, Maine was called for interfering with JMU’s chance to field the kick, giving JMU a first down at the UM 35 after a 15-yard penalty. The Dukes scored in three plays with Yancey covering the final 12 yards with 12:21 left. JMU then held UM without a first down and put together an 11-play, 85-yard drive that used 6:27. Yancey ran the final 30 yards, scoring at 3:39. UM scored first on a 27-yard Brian Harvey field goal at 2:53 of the first quarter. The Bears moved 56 yards in nine plays. JMU tied the score at 8:53 of the second quarter on a 26-yard Dave Stannard field goal. The Dukes moved 69 yards in 12 plays. JMU went up 10-3 at 4:18 of the third quarter on Landers’ 30-yard scoring run to cap a four-play, 82-yard series. Landers hit Eugene Holloman with a 40-yard pass to the UM 30. UM pulled into a 10-10 tie with 13:23 left on Derek Session’s 35-yard run. The Bears got possession at the JMU 43 after a punt and scored on their second play. JMU intercepted three passes, and Marcus Haywood had his second twointerception game of 2008. JMU UM

Bridgeforth Stadium/Zane Showker Field Harrisonburg, Va. -- Oct. 4
JMU posted its largest winning margin over a league foe during its Family Weekend. The Dukes’ previous largest margin was in a 55-14 win over Towson in 2005. It was one point shy of the most points scored against a conference foe. JMU led in yards 375-195, including a 279-67 rushing edge. The Dukes averaged 6.6 yards per play, and Hofstra didn’t have a play of as long as 20 yards. Rodney Landers accounted for 225 yards and four touchdowns for JMU. He ran for 133 yards and a score and hit on seven of 13 passes for 92 yards and three touchdowns. Two of the scoring passes went to Rockeed McCarter, who also blocked a punt on HU’s first series. JMU started the onslaught after holding HU three-and-out on its first set. McCarter broke through the line for the punt block, which was recovered by Corwin Acker and returned 16 yards for a touchdown. The Dukes scored on their next four offensive sets to lead 35-0 at halftime. The scoring included a three-yard run by Eugene Holloman, a seven-yard screen pass from Landers to McCarter, a 49-yard pass from Landers to Griff Yancey, and a 45-yard Landers run. JMU’s second-half scores came on a similar four-yard pass from Landers to McCarter, a 44-yard interception return by Ronnell Brown, and a 25-yard Drew Dudzik run. HU JMU

2008 Review JMU 38, Richmond 31
JMU 23, Villanova 19
Scotty McGee’s 69-yard punt return completed a 15-point swing during the final minute in No. 1 JMU’s win. No. 5 Richmond took a 31-23 lead with 3:21 left, but JMU scored quickly and converted on a twopoint try. The Dukes’ defense then forced a punt, and McGee scored with 0:01 left. JMU tied the score at 31-31 with a seven-play, 63-yard drive in 2:22, culminating in an eight-yard Eugene Holloman run at 0:59 and Rodney Landers completing the conversion pass to Griff Yancey. JMU sacked UR’s Eric Ward with 0:18 left to force UR’s punt. UR scored first, driving 76 yards. A 51-yard Ward-to-Tre Gray pass to JMU’s four was the key play. JMU got to within 7-3 on Jason Pritchard’s 51-yard field goal, matching JMU’s third-longest field goal. A 75-yard drive gave JMU a 10-7 lead with 13:37 left in the half. Jamal Sullivan ran 30 yards to the UR 34, and Landers hit Mike Caussin on an eight-yard scoring pass. UR went up on its next series, going 62 yards. A 41-yard Ward-to-Jordan Mitchell pass to the JMU 13 set up the score. JMU got to within 14-13 with 1:57 left in the half on a 23-yard Dave Stannard field goal. Yancey’s 12-yard run on fourth and one from the UR 49 and a 20yard Landers-to-Rockeed McCarter pass on the previous snap were the key plays. UR ran its lead to 17-13 at 5:57 of the third period on a 33-yard Andrew Howard field goal. Ward had an 11-yard scramble and a 17-yard pass to the JMU 17 to Kevin Grayson. JMU took a 20-17 lead at 0:42 of the third quarter when Landers hit McCarter on a five-yard scoring pass. UR went up 24-20 when Ward scored from the three with 10:49 left. UR was aided by a JMU roughing-the-punter penalty from the UR 45. JMU got to within 24-23 at 6:41 on a 40-yard Stannard field goal.
Bosco Williams caught a 35-yard touchdown pass from Rodney Landers on the final play to give JMU the win. The Dukes drove 66 yards during the final 1:01 after getting a 25yard Dave Stannard field goal to pull to within 19-17 with 4:08 left. JMU then limited Villanova to a single first down and got possession after a 14-yard punt to the JMU 34. Landers on fourth down hit Eugene Holloman on a 15-yard pass to the JMU 49 and ran 13 yards to the VU 38. An eight-yard pass to Rockeed McCarter got the ball to the 30 and a downed ball left JMU with 4.3 seconds left. A procedure penalty cost JMU five yards, but Landers then found Williams in the right side of the end zone. Williams was among three receivers in the area, and the ball was tipped by a defender before he grabbed it. VU scored first on a 42-yard Joe Marcoux field goal at 10:13 of the first period after stopping JMU on fourth and one from the JMU 29. JMU had long drives on its next two series with Landers throwing a scoring pass on both. The Dukes led 7-3 lead at 0:57 of the first quarter on a 23-yard pass to Griff Yancey and 14-3 at 11:51 of the second period on a 55-yarder to McCarter. VU answered with an 18-play, 97-yard scoring drive. Chris Whitney ran for 15 yards on fourth and three from the JMU 30, and Matt Szczur scored from the 15. VU got to within 14-13 on a 37-yard field goal on the initial final-half series. The Wildcats drove 60 yards in 15 plays with Whitney scrambling 17 yards on a third and 11. VU went up 19-14 on the second play of the final period when Whitney hit Phil Atkinson on a six-yard pass at the end of a 16-play, 72-yard drive. VU converted on five third-down plays during the march.

2008 Review JMU 41, Delaware 7
Bridgeforth Stadium/Zane Showker Field Harrisonburg, Va. -- Nov. 1
Rodney Landers ran for 185 yards and two scores in JMU’s homecoming win. The Dukes dominated with 22 first downs to 10 for Delaware. JMU ran 77 plays for 385 yards and UD 43 plays for 169 yards. Most of the difference was on the ground where JMU ran for 309 yards and the Hens for 94. JMU led possession time 39:58 to 21:02 and converted on 13 of 19 third downs chances to UD’s two of nine. Landers’ 185 rushing yards trail only the 206 yards he had against Massachusetts Sept. 13, 2008 for a JMU quarterback. After leading 14-0 at halftime, JMU broke the game open with 20 straight third-quarter points, highlighted by two long drives. The Dukes opened the half with a 13-play, 72-yard drive in 6:37, capped by a four-yard run by Eugene Holloman. JMU forced UD three and out and went on a nine-play, 85-yard drive in 3:44 with a 35-yard scoring run by Landers, his longest carry of the game. After another three and out by the Hens, JMU’s Scotty McGee returned a punt 64 yards for a touchdown, his third 2008 punt return for a score. UD followed the return with a 94-yard kickoff for a score by Jerry Butler for its points. JMU got its final score on a five-yard pass from Drew Dudzik to Charlie Newman. JMU took a 14-0 first-half lead on a pair of one-yard runs, the first by Jamal Sullivan after a fumble that Hassan Abdul-Wahid returned 12 yards to the UD nine. The other was by Landers, capping a 16-play, 73-yard effort in 9:16. UD JMU

JMU, which ended its winningest regular season, led 37-13 at halftime and 51-13 after three quarters, compiled 528 yards, had two players with three touchdowns, and had two 100-yard rushers. JMU’s Rodney Landers ran for 117 yards and three touchdowns and hit on nine of 12 passes for 86 yards and a score. Eugene Holloman ran for 131 yards and Griff Yancey for three scores. Landers ran 29 yards for a touchdown on JMU’s first series, scored from one yard early during the second quarter for a 20-7 JMU lead and had a four-yard scoring run with 0:50 left in the first half. He hit Mike Caussin on a five-yard scoring pass during the second period. Yancey had scoring runs of four and 13 yards. JMU scored on its first series, going 87 yards in four plays, but Towson responded with a four-play, 67-yard scoring drive to lead 7-6. Landers got JMU’s first points on his 29-yard run after he hit Caussin on a 36-yard pass and Holloman ran 30 yards. JMU took a 20-7 lead by the initial minute of the second quarter on Landers’ scoring toss to Caussin and the quarterback’s one-yard touchdown run, but TU got to within 20-13 with 11:07 left in the half on an eight-yard Sean Schaefer run.

JMU 38, Wofford 35
Bridgeforth Stadium/Zane Showker Field Harrisonburg, Va. -- Nov. 29
Rodney Landers accounted for 292 yards and four touchdowns, including the game winner, in first-round NCAA play. Landers ran for 166 yards and a touchdown and threw for 126 yards and three scores. His scoring run with 3:21 left gave JMU a 38-28 lead after the JMU defense stopped Wofford on the preceding series. Clinging to a 31-28 lead, JMU stopped Dane Romero on fourth and six from the JMU 45. The series was WC’s only of the second half on
which it didn’t score. Landers responded by leading a 10-play, 65-yard drive, consisting only of runs by Landers and Eugene Holloman and capped by a six-yard Landers push. WC came back with a 14-play, 56-yard drive with Mike Rucker scoring on a 12-yard run. However, JMU’S Bosco Williams covered the onside kick to clinch JMU’s win. WC took its only lead on a two-yard Romero run in the first quarter after a nine-play, 78-yard drive. The rushing score was Romero’s first of four in the game. JMU responded with Holloman scoring on a 34-yard run to cap a seven-play, 62-yard drive. The Dukes then held WC and took their first lead on a 15-yard pass from Landers to Rockeed McCarter, but WC tied the score on a 12-play drive with Romero scoring from the 11. JMU answered with a 27-yard scoring pass from Landers to Williams to end a drive set up by a 37-yard Scotty McGee kickoff return. Just before the half JMU drove 92 yards, taking 6:04 off the clock. With 0:20 left at the 23, Landers found McCarter in the end zone for a 28-14 JMU lead. Wofford JMU

2008 Review JMU 31, Villanova 27
Montana 35, JMU 27
Rodney Landers scored on a one-yard run with 1:38 left to give JMU the playoff win. Villanova took its only lead, 27-24, on a 13-yard pass from Matthew Szczur to Stephen Pimm with 6:54 left, but Landers led an 11-play, 54-yard JMU drive in 5:16. The series included a 22-yard Griff Yancey rush on fourth and two at the VU 46. VU then took over on its 20 and drove 21 yards before Chris Whitney was intercepted by Marcus Haywood. Landers ran 26 times for 143 yards and hit on 14 of 20 passes for 157 yards and three scores. JMU tied its team record with its 12th straight win, and Arthur Moats led JMU’s defense with 11 tackles, including 3.5 sacks. JMU took a 14-0 lead with Mike Caussin and Bosco Williams catching scoring passes from Landers on drives of 70 and 40 yards, the latter set up by a VU fumble. VU then drove 60 yards in just four plays for a touchdown by Louis Adeyemi at 13:38 of the second quarter. Most of the yards came on a third-and-long pass for 59 yards from Whitney to Szczur. VU took advantage of a fumble to drive 36 yards in eight plays, tying the game on a two-yard Szczur run with 0:37 left in the half. JMU on the first possession of the final half drove 77 yards with the goahead score coming on a 30-yard pass from Landers to Kirby Long. JMU took a 10-point lead on a 23-yard Dave Stannard field goal to cap a 60-yard drive. VU charged right back to score on a 26-yard Whitney-to-Brandyn Harvey pass.
Montana forced four turnovers and held off a final JMU drive in the FCS semifinals. Turnovers made a difference as JMU fumbled twice on kickoff returns to set up a short field for UM. The Dukes also fumbled once and threw an interception on drives within scoring range. JMU had had committed just 12 turnovers in 13 previous 2008 games. The Dukes lost standout quarterback Rodney Landers to a first-half ankle injury. Montana led 14-10 at the half and built its edge to 35-17 with 1:06 left in the third quarter. On the ensuing JMU possession, JMU drove 62 yards to the UM one but couldn’t score. The Dukes got a safety on the next series when a UM punt snap sailed through the end zone. JMU took possession after the free kick with 8:22 left and drove 57 yards in six plays with Drew Dudzik scoring on an 18-yard scamper and adding a twopoint conversion run to get the Dukes within 35-27. JMU took over on its seven with 2:06 left after stopping UM. The Dukes reached the UM 49 and then had a 14-yard completion. The second-down pass play, however, was nullified by a holding call, and JMU then threw three incompletions. JMU got a 32-yard Dave Stannard field goal on game’s first series, but UM responded with a 62-yard drive for a 7-3 lead and didn’t trail again. The Grizzly lead went to 14-3 two plays and 15 yards after JMU fumbled the ensuing kickoff, and UM had a 34-yard third-quarter touchdown drive after scoring on the half’s initial series and again recovering a JMU fumble on a kickoff.

History
JMU Football An Excellent Tradition
JMU winning the NCAA Division I-AA national title in 2004 is the high point in team history and demonstrates the remarkable growth the program has enjoyed since its inception in 1972. Five years later, the JMU program has continued to build on that success, adding three more playoff bids and compiling an overall record of 49-15 since the beginning of the 2004 season. Now under their fifth head coach, the Dukes have gone from a non-scholarship team recruited through registration lines to a program that has reached the top of the NCAA Championship Subdivision, from playing at a local high school to competing at oncampus Bridgeforth Stadium/Zane Showker Field with an adjoining state-of-the-art support facility, from playing junior varsity and military school teams to competing in the nation’s top FCS league, the Colonial Athletic Association. JMU has played in the NCAA playoffs eight times since 1990 and nine times overall, beginning in 1987. Several former Dukes have had prominent careers in the National Football League. Another significant change in the JMU program will begin taking place following the 2009 season when a $50 million-plus expansion project will raise the seating capacity at Bridgeforth Stadium/ Zane Showker Field to nearly 25,000 and add numerous crowd-friendly amenities to the stadium complex.
Rapid Development Football began at JMU in 1972, and in 1975 the Dukes were 9-0-1. They were ranked atop the Division III poll in 1976, by 1979 gave scholarships and in 1980 began competing in Division I-AA. After facing few varsity teams for two years, JMU had games with Division I-A foes
Virginia and Virginia Tech in 1979 and 1980. Under Coach Challace McMillin, the Dukes in 1982 beat Virginia on its home field in what always will be one of the more-memorable games in team history. JMU continued climbing in Division I-AA and reached the NCAA playoffs in 1987 during a 9-3 year under Coach Joe Purzycki. Coach Rip Scherer led the Dukes to the playoffs in 1991 and 1994, and Coach Alex Wood and Coach Mickey Matthews led them to post-season play in 1995 and 1999. All three were in their first years as head coaches during their first playoff appearances. Matthews’ 2004 national championship team made history by becoming the first Division I-AA team to win three road playoff games in a season, and his teams were back in post-season play in 2006, 2007, and 2008. The 2008 team was top ranked nationally from late September through the end of the regular season, was the No. 1 seed for the NCAA playoffs, and compiled an 8-0 record while winning the Colonial Athletic Association championship. The Dukes reached the 2008 national semifinals, hosted three playoff games and had a 12-game winning streak. While ranked as the co-No. 1 team in the nation in 1976, JMU played in the first Division III game televised by a major network (at Hampden-Sydney). From early in 1975 until early in 1976 JMU put together a 12-game winning streak and an unbeaten run of 13 games.

Charles Haley, JMU’s first Division I-AA All-America, and teammates receive instructions from linebacker coach Steve Wilt Long List of Heros The names of professional standouts Scott Norwood, Gary Clark and Charles Haley are most often mentioned in discussions of JMU football history, but the program’s first 37 years have produced numerous standouts. Quarterback Les Branich and offensive lineman Jeff Adams were early cornerstones and the only players to letter during each of the program’s first four years. Defensive lineman Woody Bergeria and linebacker Dewey Windham received early All-America honors, and tailbacks Ron Stith and Bernard Slayton compiled remarkably similar statistics during standout careers from 1973-76. Both are members of JMU’s Athletic Hall of Fame, as are Bergeria and Branich. Bergeria and Windham were leaders on the 1975 team that allowed only 75 points, gave up more than seven points in only three of 10 games and shut out three foes. While sharing tailback duties, Stith ran for 2,308 career yards and Slayton for 2,161, and they still are among JMU’s career rushing yards leaders. They combined to run for 44 career touchdowns. Linebacker Dale Caparaso had three of the top season-tackle totals in team history from 1976-79, and quarterback John Bowers threw for 1,169 yards and four touchdowns and ran for four scores

History
JMU Football An Excellent Tradition
JMU’s unbeaten team of 1975 (9-0-1) to lead the Dukes to an 8-2 record and a No. 9 national ranking in 1978, their final Division III year. Offensive guard Rick Booth was a 1978 AllAmerica.
Transition Period The move to a scholarship program was challenging, but the period produced some of JMU’s top performers. Norwood enrolled in 1978 and became one of Division I-AA’s top placekickers; Clark arrived in 1980 and gave JMU its best receiver-kick returner combination; and Haley and Warren Marshall, the team’s career rushing leader, arrived in 1982. All four are in JMU’s Athletic Hall of Fame. Marshall, with 4,168 career rushing yards, completed his career as the top rusher in Virginia college history, and he had a team careerrecord 20 100-yard rushing games. Clyde Hoy led JMU in tackles in 1980 and 1981 and finished his career with 503 stops. Offensive linemen John Kent and John Blackwell were All-Americas in 1982 and 1983, respectively, and Haley in 1985 was JMU’s

first Associated Press first-team I-AA All-America. In 1986 Haley, JMU’s career tackles leader (506), became its first NFL draftee (San Francisco, fourth round), and he was the first player to be a member of five winning Super Bowl teams. JMU’s 21-17 win at Virginia in 1982 came only three years after the Dukes lost 69-9 there and was the springboard to an 8-3 year, JMU’s first winning Division I-AA season. Quarterback Jon Roddy came off the bench to rally the Dukes by Appalachian State in their second 1982 game (39-35 win) and combined with Clark on an 80-yard scoring pass the next week at Virginia. Mike Thurman returned an interception 53 yards for a score at Virginia. Clark had punt returns of 87 and 89 yards for scores in JMU’s 1983 game at Virginia before the hosts rallied for a 21-14 win. Clark was the sixth player selected in the 1984 United States Football League draft, and after two USFL seasons he joined the Washington Redskins and played for two Super Bowl winners.
Division I-AA Success A defense that ranked in the top 20 in I-AA for six straight years under Purzycki and defensive coordinator Jim Pletcher, who remained at JMU through 1994, was the Dukes’ trademark in the late 1980s and a key ingredient in the team’s 9-3 playoff season in 1987. JMU allowed fewer than 300 yards per game in every season from 1985-90, including 1987 when it gave up 291.7 yards per game. Linebacker Marty Fitzgerald led the 1987 defense with 128 tackles, and the Dukes were ranked as high as third nationally. Defenders Shawn Woodson, Steve Bates and Dan Kobosko were key performers in the late 1980s, and offensive guard Carlo Bianchini and punter John Druiett also received All-America honors. Safety Eupton Jackson was named to four All-America first teams in 1990, and offensive tackle D.R. Carlson was an All-America that season.

That 9-4 squad had JMU’s first playoff win -- 42-35 in double overtime at Delaware -- and set a then-team record by averaging 31.9 points behind quarterback Eriq Williams and tailback Kenny Sims. The 1991 team lost its opener at Division I-A Virginia Tech but then in consecutive games beat nationally ranked opponents in 1990 playoff participant Central Florida 49-31, eventual Southern Conference winner Appalachian State 31-8 on the road, and 1990 playoff participant William & Mary 29-28 on the road.

History
Dukes Make History with 2004 Title James Madison University football in 2004 made history at the team and national levels. The 13-2 Dukes won the NCAA Division I-AA title with a playoff effort that became increasingly impressive as the postseason progressed. JMU took the national crown without hosting a playoff game, becoming the first Division I-AA team to win three playoff road contests in a season. JMU won with depth and balance, consistent play that included Division I-AA’s second-ranked run defense (86.8 yards per game), good special teams play, and an offense that developed a powerful running attack and avoided mistakes. The Dukes won seven games by 10 or fewer points and were particularly effective late in contests. JMU won 17-0 at Villanova after a scoreless first 36 minutes and beat Massachusetts 28-7 after a scoreless first 40 minutes. The Dukes won 24-20 at Maine with a touchdown with 0:48 left and beat Delaware 20-13 with an 87yard punt return for a score with 3:04 left and by stopping the Hens after they had a first-down-and-goal situation from the three during the next drive. After tying for the Atlantic 10 title (7-1 record), JMU was disappointed not to get a home playoff game. However, the Dukes responded with a 14-13 first-round win at Lehigh and then won by the same score at Furman, driving 74 yards during the final 5:11 for the decisive touchdown. JMU avenged its lone Division I-AA loss of the year by winning 48-34 at William & Mary in a nationally televised (ESPN) Friday night game and beat Montana 31-21 for the NCAA title the following Friday in Chattanooga, Tenn., before another national television audience. The Dukes took a 21-0 lead at William & Mary, fell behind 26-21 early in the second half, and then dominated play with 28 straight points in an 18-minute period. JMU was equally effective during the last three quarters against Montana, running for 314 yards overall and holding the ball for 36:13 of the game’s 60 minutes. JMU’s play helped Mickey Matthews gain Division I-AA coach of the year honors from the American Football Coaches Association, and several Dukes received major awards. Offensive guard Matt Magerko and free safety Tony LeZotte led the award recipients. Magerko was first-team All-America by Associated Press, and LeZotte was first-team by I-AA.org, second team by Associated Press and Football Weekly and thirdteam by The Sports Network. Linebacker Kwynn Walton was third-team All-America by The Sports Network, and safety Rodney
McCarter was a Football Foundation All-America. LeZotte was the Atlantic 10 co-rookie of the year. Tailback Raymond Hines was team MVP after running for 1,038 yards. He became a starter at midseason when Alvin Banks and Maurice Fenner were hurt and became only the fourth Duke to run for 1,000 yards during a season. Fenner (117 yards at William & Mary, 164 vs. Montana) and Banks (88 yards vs. Montana) stepped back into the spotlight for the final two playoff games after Hines was hurt at William & Mary. Quarterback Justin Rascati threw for 2,045 yards and 14 touchdowns, ran for 10 scores, and was intercepted only five times in 283 passes. Team defensive MVP Trey Townsend and Walton as linebackers, LeZotte, and McCarter led the defense. LeZotte set a team freshman record with 144 tackles, Townsend had 102 tackles and five interceptions, McCarter had 92 stops, and Walton had 88 tackles. Cornerback Clint Kent, who had 73 tackles for the season, returned an interception 69 yards for a score at Wiliam & Mary and sealed JMU’s title-game win over Montana with an interception.

Dec. 17, 2004 ~ Chattanooga, Tenn.
JMU won the national title with a stingy defense and a strong running game. The Dukes allowed a first-quarter TD for the only time in 2004 and trailed twice before dominating the final minutes. JMU went up to stay 24-21 on a one-yard Maurice Fenner run at 3:25 of the third quarter, added Justin Rascati’s six-yard run for a score with 8:00 left, and ran the final 6:14 off the clock. The Dukes used 14 straight rushing plays to kill the clock at the end of the game and nine straight runs during the 72-yard drive that put them up to stay. JMU ran for 314 yards, 257 during the last half. In addition to the score that put JMU up to stay, Fenner scored on a one-yard run late in the first period for a 10-7 JMU edge. Rascati ran 11 yards for a score on JMU’s first third-quarter series. JMU’s effort off set a strong outing by Montana’s Craig Ochs, who threw for 371 yards and three scores. However, the Grizzlies had only 44 rushing yards. UM went 71 yards in 11 plays to score on the first series, and JMU didn’t have a first down and but two yards during the first period. The Dukes got to within 7-3 with 8:54 left in the half on a 28-yard David Rabil field goal to cap a 14-play, 74yard drive. Fenner’s one-yard scoring run gave JMU a 10-7 halftime lead and capped a 71-yard drive. JMU ran the lead to 17-7 by going 80 yards in six plays to open the final half, but UM scored on the next series, going 75 yards, and recovered a JMU fumble two plays later to set up a 29-yard drive that produced a 21-17 Grizzly lead. After JMU went up 24-21, UM missed on a 31-yard field goal try, and JMU added an insurance score on an 80-yard, 16-play drive during which Rascati hit on six of eight passes for 48 yards. Ochs then moved UM from its 14 to the JMU 35 in just more than a minute, but Clint Kent’s fourth-down interception came on the last play the Grizzlies ran. JMU Montana

Troy State scored three touchdowns during a seven-minute period midway through the game in the first-round playoff win. JMU trailed only 3-0 until Troy State got its first touchdown -- immediately following a 49-yard pass completion to the JMU one-yard line -- with 1:43 left in the first half. The Trojans drove 75 for a touchdown on the first series of the second half and scored again with 8:57 left in the third quarter after returning an interception to the Dukes’ one. Troy State scored twice on one-yard runs by 290-pound defensive tackle All-America Al Lucas and got another touchdown on a fumble recovery in the end zone after driving 75 yards. JMU’s points came on Curtis Keaton’s 20th touchdown run of the season, a two-yard carry with 9:22 left in the game. Troy State gained 376 yards to JMU’s 203. The Trojans held Keaton, a 1,719-yard rusher for the year, to 40 yards, and injuries forced JMU to use three quarterbacks. Starter Chris Paquette left in the second quarter with a collarbone problem, and Mike Connelly, who missed the previous game with a shoulder problem, played only briefly. Jason Thompson was used at quarterback for the first time as a college player and worked the entire second half. He completed six of 16 passes for 66 yards. Quarterbacks Charles Berry and John DeFilippo weren’t on the team’s travel roster because of injuries. JMU Troy State

They went up 28-27 at 1:10 on a five-yard Armanti Edwards run and then recovered a JMU fumble at their five with 0:22 left. With the Dukes down 28-27, Rodney Landers began JMU’s last drive with a 36-yard pass to the ASU 35 to Bosco Williams and ran for five and four yards before Jamal Sullivan ran 17 yards to the ASU nine. A fumble two plays later ended the threat. JMU had a 436-330 edge in yards but lost two fumbles and threw an interception. ASU scored touchdowns after a fumble return to the JMU three and an interception at the JMU 28. JMU ran for 312 yards and threw for 124, and ASU had 204 rushing yards and 126 passing. Landers ran 29 times for 129 yards for JMU and Edwards 20 times for 132 yards and three scores for ASU. JMU scored on its first series, going 73 yards after Marcus Haywood’s fumble recovery. Landers hit Griff Yancey on a 10-yard touchdown pass at 10:12 of the first quarter. ASU tied the score after Jacque Roman returned a JMU fumbled pass reception 77 yards to the one. Edwards scored after JMU used 17 plays to go from its 11 to the ASU 23. JMU went up 14-7 on Yancey’s five-yard run, but ASU got to within 14-13 with 5:47 left in the half on an 80yard march that included a 41-yard Edwards run. ASU went up 19-14 with 3:09 left in the half. ASU got the ball at the JMU 27 after it bounced off a JMU receiver who was hit as the ball arrived. Edwards ran 18 yards to the one on fourth and two and scored on the next snap. An Adam Ford fumble recovery at the ASU 43 set up a drive that gave JMU a 20-19 lead at 4:29 of the third quarter. Placekicker Dave Stannard scored from the seven, taking a pitch after JMU lined up a field goal. JMU led 27-19 with 7:37 left when Sullivan scored on a two-yard run to cap a 76-yard march. JMU ASU
