Last Meeting - JMU 38, W&M 10

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.
