James Madison Beats Old Dominion 46-20, Never Trailing
Old Dominion ran 28 times and gained negative 14 yards. When your rushing total has a minus sign on it, the final score tends to look like 46-20.
James Madison scored first and never gave the lead back. Camden Coleman threw a 3-yard touchdown to Cole Keller with 11:04 left in the first quarter and a 20-yarder to Michael Scott at 5:50, and after Ryan Huff's 23-yard answer to Leon Haughton Jr., Morgan Suarez kicked a 28-yard field goal to make it 17-7. Early in the second quarter Coleman added scores of 13 yards to Jeremiah Harrison (the two-point try failed) and 18 yards to Corey Scott, and it was 30-7 with 11:42 left in the half.
Old Dominion never got closer than 13 points after that. Maurki James scored from a yard out and Nathanial Eichner kicked a 49-yarder as time expired in the half to make it 30-17, and Eichner added a 35-yarder early in the fourth, but Suarez kicked three more field goals (36, 27 and 26 yards) and Seth Cromwell ran in from a yard out with 2:55 left. That is four Suarez field goals on the day.
The Dukes finished with 409 total yards against 247, and got to Huff nine times (he lost 45 yards on 12 carries). Old Dominion threw for 261 yards and did not run for any. Each team threw one interception, and Old Dominion lost a fumble as well. James Madison is 4-0 and Old Dominion falls to 1-3.
