What’s up JMU?

The Coastal Carolina game this past weekend was a very big win for us. That was our third straight win and we have continued to get better playing at home. Thanks again to everyone that came out to the game, it was a great game-day atmosphere. The offense took care of business early and that allowed us to get after the Coastal Carolina quarterback on defense. Overall it was a very solid performance but this week’s game is even bigger. Villanova is coming to Harrisonburg as one of the hottest teams in the country. They have won seven of their past eight, only having lost to Maryland, which was a game they played real competitively in. This is our second conference game and begins a very tough stretch of CAA games. We lost to Villanova last year, and that was really the reason that we had to travel to Youngstown State for the first round of the playoffs. They are an even better team this year so we expect this to be a really good game. I know it is Family Weekend but we need the home field advantage again this week. I can’t tell you how much that really helps us out.

See Y’all this weekend.
