GAME NOTES School Record W&M set a single-game school record for fewest passing yards allowed at JMU in 2010, as the Dukes threw for zero yards (attempted just one pass). Overtime W&M and JMU have played a pair of overtime contests, as the Dukes earned narrow victories in 2002 (3431) and 2012 (27-26). The 2012 matchup went into double overtime and ended after a failed two-point conversion attempt. Success vs. No. 1 W&M has won two of its last three contests against opponents with a No. 1 national ranking. W&M defeated Villanova, 31-24, in 2010 and Southern Illinois, 24-3, in 2009 before falling to JMU, 46-14, in 2017. The Tribe is 3-3 all-time versus top-ranked teams. W&M Debuts A school-record 16 true freshmen have played this season. The group includes: DreSean Kendrick, Imari Smith, Malachi Imoh, Alex Washington, Quinn Osborne, John Kearney, Ethan Chang, John Pius, Charles Grant, Tyler Rose, JT Mayo, Mattijs Lasore, Ry Yates, James Jennette, Sammy Sarantis, Jayde Pierre and Mike Malone Last season, W&M set a then-school record with 11 true freshman earning playing time.

at Richmond, W&M rushed for 242 yards in last week’s win against Elon - an improvement of 170 yards. Dominant Performance In addition to limiting Elon to just 10 points in last week’s victory, W&M allowed just 196 total yards. It marked the program’s best effort defensively since limiting Delaware to just 195 total yards in 2017. W&M was especially stout on the ground and held the Phoenix to just 54 rushing yards. Among the Nation’s Best With a pair of strong efforts to begin the season, W&M currently ranks among the nation’s best in numerous defensive categories. The Tribe ranks 14th in scoring defense (15.5), 14th in total defense (253.0) and 17th in passing defense (141.5). Protecting the Quarterback W&M has protected the quarterback well this season and ranks 10th nationally with just 1.0 sacks allowed per game. Fourth Down Conversions The Tribe has converted on three of its fourth down attempts this season and ranks ninth nationally with a 75.0 conversion percentage. Tough Defense at Zable Stadium The Tribe defense has been outstanding in home games since the start of the 2009 season and is allowing just 18.6 points per game at Zable Stadium during the impressive stretch.

WILLIAMSBURG, Va. (10/19/19) -- fell to No. 2 James Madison, 38-10, in front of a sold-out crowd for Homecoming at Zable Stadium. Although W&M got on the scoreboard first with a 20-yard field goal by Jake Johnston midway through the first quarter, JMU responded with 21 unanswered points before halftime. A 6-yard touchdown pass from Ted Hefter to Trey Zgombic on a fake field goal narrowed the margin to 21-10 early in the third quarter, but the Dukes held W&M scoreless during the remainder of the contest en route to securing the conference win.

Tremendously successful and widely respected, Mike London enters his second year as head coach of the William & Mary football program. London’s first season leading the Tribe provided a glimpse of the program’s bright future, as the squad concluded the 2019 campaign with wins in three of its final four games – including a Capital Cup victory at long-time rival Richmond in the season finale. In addition to helping five W&M standouts earn all-conference honors, defensive tackle Bill Murray garnered All-America distinction and signed a free agent contract with the New England Patriots. Additionally, four members of the squad earned Freshman All-America honors. Under London’s leadership, the Tribe also dramatically improved in a number of offensive statistical categories during his first season in Williamsburg. In addition to nearly doubling its scoring production from the previous year (25.2), W&M increased its total offense by nearly 100 yards per game. The Tribe also increased its rushing average by more than 130 yards per contest and more than quadrupled its rushing touchdown total (26) – an impressive figure that ranked just outside the program’s all-time top-10 list. The Tribe also excelled academically under London’s leadership, as a program-record 51 student-athletes earned CAA Commissioner’s Academic Honor Roll distinction during the spring semester. London, a former assistant under longtime Tribe head coach Jimmye Laycock, returned to Williamsburg with an impressive list of accomplishments as a head coach that includes winning a national title at the University of Richmond (2008) and earning Atlantic Coast Conference Coach of the Year distinction at the University of Virginia (2011). Howard University’s head coach from 2017-18, London’s tenure leading the Bison was highlighted with his selection as a finalist for the 2017 STATS Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) Eddie Robinson Award, which is bestowed upon the nation’s top head coach. Additionally, he earned the 2017 American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) Regional Coach of the Year award after guiding Howard to a 6-2 conference record – the program’s first winning season since 2012. His inaugural campaign at HU featured a season-opening win at UNLV, which ESPN lauded as one of college football’s greatest upsets. Prior to his two-year stint at HU, London served as an associate head coach/defensive line coach at the University of Maryland in 2016 where he helped lead the Terps to an appearance in the Quick Lane Bowl.

In addition to garnering ACC Coach of the Year honors at UVA in 2011, London led the Cavaliers to the Chick-Fil-A Bowl. En route to earning the postseason bowl bid, he guided UVA to road wins at Miami and Florida State – becoming the first program in the nation to accomplish the feat in the same season. London gained his first head coaching experience at Richmond, his alma mater, where he amassed a 24-5 record and guided the Spiders to the 2008 FCS national title during his initial campaign. His efforts were recognized by the AFCA, which selected him as the FCS National Coach of the Year. After leading the Spiders to an 8-0 start the following season, UR became just the third FCS school to receive a vote in the Associated Press (AP) Poll. London landed the head coaching job at UR after an exceptional twoyear stint as UVA’s defensive coordinator (2006-07). During his first season, the Cavaliers allowed just 289.5 yards per game – the program’s best figure in 27 years. The following season, London’s defense ranked sixth nationally in sacks and among the nation’s top 20 in scoring defense and rushing defense. London oversaw the development of an outstanding group of All-ACC honorees, highlighted by 2007 unanimous All-America standout Chris Long, who was the second overall pick in the 2008 NFL Draft. Before returning to UVA, where he was an assistant from 2001-04, London spent the 2005 season in the NFL as the Houston Texans’ defensive line coach. London’s first stint with the Cavaliers also included serving as the program’s recruiting coordinator from 2002-04. London, a native of Hampton, Va., began his coaching career as the outside linebackers coach at Richmond in 1988 before coaching the defensive line at William & Mary under Jimmye Laycock (1991-94). He then returned to UR for two more years (1995-96) as the outside linebackers coach and recruiting coordinator before taking on the defensive line coaching duties at Boston College from 1997-00. A standout defensive back at Richmond (1979-82), London served as a team captain his senior season and was signed by the Dallas Cowboys as a free agent in 1983. London graduated from UR in 1983 with a bachelor’s degree in sociology and a year later earned a degree in law enforcement from the Richmond Police Academy. He served as a detective from 1985-87. London and his wife, Regina, have four children: daughters Ticynn, Jaicyn and Madicyn and son Korben. He has three children from a previous marriage: sons Michael Jr. and Brandon, and daughter Kristen.
