As you can see, James Madison (A G5) scored the 2nd most points against Oregon this season:
1. Indiana (CFP) - 62,000,000,000
2, ******* JAMES MADISON- 34
3. Indiana (gm 1) - 30
4. USC - 27
5. Penn State - 24
6. Iowa - 16
7. Washington - 14
8. Northwestern - 14
9. Minn - 13
10. Montana St - 13
11. Rutgers - 10
12. Wisconsin - 7
13. Oregon St - 7
14. Oklahoma St - 3
15. Texas Tech - 0
3 of the 5 players who scored for Indiana in the first half of the Peach Bowl (Kaelon Black + Elijah Sarratt + D’Angelo Ponds) are transfers from James Madison with Curt Cignetti.
The same JMU that also put up 34 on Oregon. But I thought they “couldn’t compete” and that it “was a safety hazard” for them to be in the playoff.
@TalkinDukes Too many to list…I used to hoop at UREC with Clint Kent and DD Bodley. Good dudes. Tony Lezotte was a beast. Going further back got to shout out some fellow Kecoughtan alum Macey Brooks and Eriq Williams.
JMU put up 34 points on this same Oregon Defense that Shut Out Texas Tech 🤷🏽♂️ I hope yall keep that same energy when it comes to teams that Should/Shouldn’t have been in the #CFBPlayoff
Another narrative check...
JMU scores 34 points against Oregon at Autzen Stadium last week: "Yeah, the Ducks stopped playing. They could've won by more if they wanted to."
Texas Tech gets shutout by Oregon on a neutral field this week: "Damn, Oregon's defense is so good!"
Am I doing this right?
@CatieHarper Snap count analysis demonstrates Oregon starters actually got more playing time against JMU than was typical throughout the season. And there is this….
Texas Tech couldn’t score a single point on Oregon, meanwhile JMU hung 34 points and over 500 yards of offense on the Ducks in Eugene. For all the “experts” who said JMU didn’t belong in the CFP…… @JMUFootball@JMUSportsNews
Remember when everyone used Oregon’s 17-pt win over JMU as justification to exclude the G5 champs from the playoffs because “they’re not playing the same sport?”
What angle do we get now that a Top 4 P4 team lost to Oregon 23-0 at a neutral site?
Texas Tech: Spends ~$30+ million on Football roster, scores 0 points on Oregon in the playoffs.
JMU: Spends ~1 million on Football roster, scores 34 points on Oregon in the playoffs.
Best ROI in the country! #GoDukes@JMUSportsNews@JMUSoundOff@DukeOfBotetourt
