James Madison Stays Unbeaten, 49-22 over Georgia State
Seven games, seven wins. James Madison is 7-0 after a 49-22 win over Georgia State, and the only moment all day that felt like a contest was a 7-7 tie in the first quarter.
That tie lasted about 50 seconds. JC Evans ran in from two yards out for the first score, Lanear McCrary Jr. answered from the one, and then Camden Coleman threw 20 yards to Michael Scott with 5:38 left in the first to put James Madison ahead for good. Evans added a one-yard run, Coleman found KD Mosley from 19 yards, and Seth Cromwell scored from three, and by the 2:11 mark of the second quarter it was 35-10.
Georgia State made it look better late. Rodshaun Dorsey caught a 32-yard touchdown from Cameran Brown in the third and Ayden Pereira ran one in from the one in the fourth, though Georgia State missed both two-point tries and never got inside three scores. George Pettaway's 12-yard run had made it 42-16 in between, and Evans threw a 22-yard touchdown to Miles Halbert with a minute left to close it out.
James Madison put up 516 yards (265 passing, 251 rushing) against 373 for Georgia State, and lost one fumble to Georgia State's one interception and one fumble. Georgia State is 4-2.
The fantasy angle is the strange part. Two quarterbacks led the winners: Evans, who scored 23.3 points on two rushing touchdowns and a touchdown pass, and Coleman, who had 22 on two touchdown throws. Georgia State's Brown was third at 18.5. Pettaway had the biggest rushing day, 14 carries for 119 yards, and scored 17.9.
