JMU FootballWelcome to

A Message From Coach Mickey MatthewsWelcome to JMU Football . Representing James Madison University is

a tremendous opportunity and something I’ve thoroughly enjoyed during my 10 seasons in Harrisonburg as head football coach . Being a part of an outstanding university and athletic department and a great community is exciting and fulfilling .

JMU year in and year out appears in the listings of the nation’s top universities, and the opportunities for JMU students are nearly limitless . The atmosphere here provides one of the more-unique places in the nation to be a student-athlete, and the combination of the beauty of our campus and the outstanding academic programs makes this is a great place to grow and develop to your potential .

More significant in JMU being the institution it has become is its people . Everyone takes great pride in the commitment to put our students first . The faculty, staff, administration, alumni and boosters are truly special, and our coaching staff recognizes their contributions and role in our program .

Our football program also receives outstanding support . The student-athlete academic service staff is second to none, and we have one of the top strength and conditioning coaches in college football, someone whose primary responsibilities are with our team . Equally impressive is our sports medicine staff that combines in-house professionals with a skilled team of associated physicians . Nowhere will you find a harder working group working toward a common goal .

Bridgeforth Stadium/Zane Showker Field, our on-campus facility, provides a fabulous game-day environment, and the variety of activities surrounding our contests nicely complements the competition on the field . Planned expansion of the stadium to nearly 25,000 seats beginning after the 2009 season will keep our facilities on the

cutting edge in college athletics . The Plecker Athletic Performance Center adjacent to the stadium houses all of our football-related functions as well as providing

state-of-the-art academic support, and few institutions have facilities to rival it .

We’ve enjoyed great success -- both on the field and off -- and the excitement surrounding our program continues to grow with four postseason appearances during the last five years . We are looking forward to building on our excellent tradition and hope you will join us for the fun!

Sincerely,

Mickey Matthews, Head Football Coach

Nicknames, TraditionsJMU’s athletic teams use the nickname “Dukes” in honor of Dr . Samuel P . Duke, university president from 1919-1949 . Men’s athletics began at JMU during Duke’s tenure (men first enrolled in the regular season in 1946 as day students .)Women’s teams were known by several names until “Duchesses” became prevalent in the early 1940s . That name was dropped in 1982 when all of JMU’s teams became “Dukes .”The school colors, purple and gold, were selected during JMU’s first session in 1909-10 from the colors used by the institution’s two literary societies, Lanier and Lee . The Lanier Society’s colors were violet and white and the Lee’s gray and gold . Violet soon was replaced by purple, which was easier to obtain for use for pennants and other decorations .The school mascot, a bulldog with a purple and gold cape and a crown, was adopted in 1971 . The bulldog is the traditional pet of royalty such as a duke .“Duke Dog” entertains at JMU athletic contests and other univer-sity special events and also takes part in a variety of community activities and events .JMU also has used several living bulldogs as university mascots .Duke Dog won the “popular” vote during the 2004 Capital One Mascot of the Year competition, compiling an 11-0 record in head-to-head voting against other college mascots .

JMU’s entire 2009 football schedule will be broadcast by the JMU/nTelos Sports Network. The Ver Standig Broadcast Group manages the network in cooperation with JMU, and the group’s WSVA-AM in Harrisonburg is the flagship station.

Mike Schikman, Curt Dudley and Karl Magenhofer are the network commentators.Schikman, who is the network play-by-play commentator, returned to a game-site position with

the network in 1991. He previously was a network commentator from 1981-86, and he handled the network’s in-station broadcast responsibilities in 1989 and 1990. Dudley, the JMU athletics division’s director of multi-media communications, handles color commentary during road games and coordinates network operations.

Dukes Hope to Build on SuccessThe James Madison University football team will

begin the 2009 season hoping to continue a five-year period of outstanding results .

The Dukes since the beginning of the 2004 season have compiled a 49-15 overall record and have made four NCAA playoff appearances . JMU during that period has won a national championship, is 33-7 in conference play, and has won one conference crown outright and tied for another .

Having maintained a position among the elite programs in the NCAA Football Championship Subdivision, the Dukes for the 2009 season expect to return 42 let-termen, including 11 starters, from a year ago . JMU last season was 12-2 overall, and the Dukes won the Colonial Athletic Association championship with an 8-0 record .

JMU will be playing for the 11th season under Mickey Matthews, who during the 2008 campaign became

the program’s all-time winningest coach . Matthews has a 76-46 JMU record and has directed the Dukes to

five straight winning seasons and to six straight campaigns with at least a .500 record .

Outstanding TraditionJMU was 13-2 during its NCAA championship season in 2004, 7-4 in 2005,

9-3 in 2006, 8-4 in 2007 and 12-2 in 2008 . The Dukes have been included in the top 25 in 65 of the last 68 FCS polls conducted by The Sports Network, including each of the last 44 . They’ve been ranked in the top 10 in 31 of the last 36 polls, including in each of the last season’s 15 .

JMU a year ago held the No . 1 position in the national polls from late September through the end of the regular season and was the top seed for the NCAA playoffs . The Dukes were rewarded with three consecutive home playoff games and finished the year ranked No . 3 nationally . JMU during the 2008 season had a 7-1 record against nationally ranked opponents .

Of JMU’s 15 losses during the last five seasons, three have been to Football Bowl Subdivision opponents and three in the NCAA playoffs . The Dukes are 21-8 against nationally ranked FCS foes since the start of the 2004 season .

2009 OutlookOf JMU’s 11 returning starters, six are on offense and five on defense . Of

the 42 expected returning lettermen, 22 played offense a year ago, 17 were on defense, and three were specialists . The team lost 27 lettermen, including 13 on offense, 12 on defense, and two who were specialists .

The Dukes return six players who received All-CAA honors last season and another who won one of the league’s top rookie awards . They lost seven play-ers who were all-league, including four first-team honorees .

“I think we’ll be a better team in October and November than we will be in September,” said Matthews, who was last season’s CAA coach of the year and the FCS national coach of the year by The Sports Network and Liberty Mutual . “We’ll have to make some improvement at quarterback, linebacker and safety to be a top team . It remains to be seen how we develop .”

The leading returnees include senior cornerback Scotty McGee, who was All-CAA and All-America as a kick returner; senior offensive guard Dorian Brooks, who was second-team All-CAA and honorable mention All-America; senior defensive tackle Sam Daniels and senior defensive end Arthur Moats, both of whom were third-team All-CAA; junior Griff Yancey, who was third-team All CAA as a halfback/fullback; and junior offensive tackle Theo Sherman, who was third-team all-league . Sophomore Pat Williams was last season’s CAA defensive rookie of the year as a safety .

The key losses include first-team All-CAA honorees in safety Marcus

Haywood, quarterback Rodney Landers, center Scott Lemn, and cornerback Evan McCollough and other all-league honorees in offensive tackle Terrence Apted, tailback Eugene Holloman, and defensive end Hassan Abdul-Wahid .

McGee in 2008 was an electrifying performer who returned four kicks for touchdowns . He ignited JMU’s rally from a 21-0 halftime deficit to a 35-32 win over Appalachian State with a 99-yard return of the second-half kickoff for a touchdown, and his 69-yard punt return for a score with one second to play gave the Dukes their 38-31 victory at Richmond .

Brooks and Sherman were key players on an offensive line that helped JMU average 38 .1 points and 401 .4 yards per game, including 282 .8 yards rushing, last season . Daniels and Moats helped the JMU defense limit opponents to 133 .8 yards per game rushing a year ago . Yancey ran for 518 yards and 10 touchdowns and had 19 receptions -- second on the team -- including three for scores . Williams tied for third on last season’s team in tackles with 65 .

Yancey moved to free safety at the close of the spring practice period and could become a leading defender for the Dukes, according to the JMU staff . He was among several offensive players moved to defense during the spring practice period . Former wide receiver Mike Allen was listed as a probable cornerback starter and former tailback Jon Rose as a contender for playing time at safety following spring drills .

Landers in 2008 had what may be the best season in JMU history, running for a team-record 1,770 yards and 16 touchdowns, throwing for 1,534 yards and a team-record 21 scores, and compiling a team-record 3,304 yards of total offense . Before suffering an ankle injury during the first half of JMU’s NCAA semifinal game, he had run for 100 yards in 10 games, thrown 18 touchdown passes in the Dukes’ previous eight contests, and directed an offense that for the season had a 51 percent third-down conversion efficiency .

Landers was Virginia Division I player of the year (Bill Dudley Award) and runner-up for FCS player of the year honors . Lemn won the Rimington Award as the nation’s top FCS center and with Apted gave the Dukes two standout senior offensive linemen . Haywood (101 tackles, team-high five intercep-tions) and McCollough (83 tackles, two interceptions) were the team’s top tack-lers . Holloman was the team’s No . 2 rusher (1,046 yards, nine touchdowns), and Abdul-Wahid took part in 60 tackles .

OffenseEmploying a spread attack JMU during the last five seasons has averaged

28 .1 points per game in 2004, 35 .5 in 2005, 32 .4 in 2006, 33 .3 in 2007 and 38 .1 in 2008 . The Dukes during the same period have had per-game total offense averages of 367 .7 yards in 2004, 404 .4 in 2005, 391 .2 in 2006, 410 .0 in 2007, and 401 .4 in 2008 .

JMU in 2009 will rely on the same offensive scheme and will have returning starters in Brooks at guard, Sherman at tackle, senior Mike Caussin at tight end, senior Charlie Newman as a tight end/H-back, and senior Rockeed McCarter and junior Marcus Turner at wide receiver . Senior wide receiver Bosco Williams also has been used extensively as a starter, and sophomore wide receiver Kerby Long was in the wide receiver rotation throughout last season .

“We have a chance to be better on offense; I think we have more speed,” Matthews said . “A lot will depend on how we play at quarterback . I think we’ll be able to throw the ball better; we have more ability at the skill positions .”

2009 Season Preview


Junior Drew Dudzik and redshirt freshman Justin Thorpe shared playing time at quarterback during the spring and will enter preseason camp in a similar situation, Matthews said . Dudzik has worked behind Landers the last two seasons and got his most-ex-tensive playing time when Landers left last season’s NCAA semifinal game late during the opening half . Dudzik ran for 88 yards and two touchdowns and threw for 70 yards during that game .

The Dukes expect to use several tailbacks with junior Jamal Sullivan, redshirt sophomore Scott Noble, and sophomore Corwin Acker the top con-tenders at the position following spring drills . Noble sat out last season after playing in 2007 as a true freshman, and Acker saw action a year as a true fresh-man, working mostly on special teams .

QuarterbackMatthews Says: Entering the fall the quarterback position is a dead heat with Drew Dudzik

and Justin Thorpe . The only thing that is certain is that they’re both going to play . Both can run; both can throw . Drew is more experienced; Justin probably is faster and has a little stronger arm . We’ll just have to see how things work out .

Dudzik last season appeared in each JMU game (he was the team’s holder for placements) and completed 17 of 32 passes for 110 yards and a touchdown and ran 31 times for 199 yards and four scores . Landers’ outstanding play of the last two seasons didn’t allow him the op-portunity for much playing time, but in last season NCAA semifinals he directed a pair of scoring drives and had the Dukes in scoring position on another series .

The JMU staff has considered Thorpe a good fit in its spread attack, but the second-year quarterback is yet to appear in a game at the college level .

LineMatthews Says: We think we’re going to be improved on the offensive line from last year;

we have guys who have played a lot . I think all five of our projected starters are quality players; we just don’t have a lot of depth . We have to develop depth during our August practices .

Brooks will be expected to lead the unit, and he and Sherman provide the Dukes with a pair of third-year starters . The JMU staff anticipates Brooks being among the CAA’s top offensive linemen and a contender for national recognition, and Sherman should be among the conference’s leading under-classmen at an offensive line position .

Sophomore Roane Babington was a top of-fensive line reserve a year ago and is expected to assume the guard position opposite Brooks, re-placing Arthur Walker, a 2008 sophomore starter who is no longer in the JMU program .

Junior Brandon Monroe is projected to start at the tackle position opposite Sherman after playing sparingly previously but impressing the JMU staff with his development during the spring .

Senior Donnie Smith is the expected starter at center after working as a reserve a year ago in his first JMU season after transferring from West Virginia .

Junior Jerald Brown and redshirt freshman Lue Akuak at tackle, redshirt freshman guard Richard Williams and ju-nior center Brett Ainsley at center were listed as probable top line reserves after spring practice .

Running BackMatthews Says: We

were very deep at the be-ginning of spring practice, but we kept moving guys to defense . It’s the deepest position on the team . I think we’ll be improved from a year ago . Jamal Sullivan is the most experienced of the group, and the only thing that has kept him from being an outstanding player has been his health .

Sullivan, Noble and Acker give the Dukes a trio of tailbacks with playing experience . Add in red-shirt freshman Lee Reynolds and several incoming freshman running backs, and the JMU staff was confident enough in the position to shift Yancey and Rose to defense during spring drills .

Sullivan and Noble both demonstrated potential during the 2007 season when returning all-league performer Eugene Holloman was sidelined by injury, and Acker saw extensive special teams play a year in his first college season . Reynolds provides good speed and ability as a receiver out of the backfield .

Sullivan ran for 177 yards and two scores in 2008 despite being sidelined for much of the season’s first half and for 212 yards and four touchdowns in 2007 .

Noble ran for 97 yards and four touchdowns in 2007 before being held out of play a year ago, and Acker last season ran for 135 yards and a touchdown while seeing action in some capacity in all 14 JMU games .

Yancey was a solid all-around running back, carrying for 1,183 yards and 18 touchdowns and catching 28 passes for 305 yards and four scores during the last two seasons . He was second on the team in rushing in 2007 and third last season .

Rose saw limited playing time last season, carrying six times from scrimmage as a redshirt freshman .

Junior Donnell Brown is expected to be used with the Dukes employ a fullback . He ran six times from scrimmage last season .

ReceiverMatthews Says: We’re very experienced at both wide receiver and at tight end . At wide re-

ceiver we have two guys are on NFL lists in Bosco Williams and Rockeed McCarter . Mike Caussin at tight end is improved as a blocker and is on NFL lists, and Charlie Newman is an excellent tight end/H-back .

Wide receivers Williams and McCarter have been in the team’s playing rotation during each of the last three seasons; Turner was a starter late during the 2008 campaign; and sophomore Kerby Long saw extensive playing time a year ago . Senior Marcus Charity is a veteran performer, and sophomore Julius Graves could move into a key wide receiver role .

Caussin and Newman both have played key roles at tight end during each of the last three seasons .

McCarter led last season’s team in receptions (21) and touchdown catches (6) and has nine ca-reer receiving touchdowns among 47 career catches . Williams caught 16 passes, including three for scores, a year ago, and has four touchdown catches among his 39 career receptions .

Long and Turner each had 14 receptions, including two for scores, last season . Long also aver-aged 10 .0 yards per attempt on 10 running plays .

Caussin was third on last season’s team in receptions with 18, including five for touchdowns . He has 41 career catches, fourth all-time among JMU tight ends . His 10 career touchdown catches rank in a tie for 10th all-time among JMU players and are second to Neal Wilkinson’s (1984-87) 12 scoring receptions among tight ends .

Newman has a touchdown catch during each of his three JMU seasons and fills a variety of roles for the Dukes .

DefenseJMU has played well on defense throughout Matthews’ tenure with the Dukes -- five JMU play-

ers received league defensive player of the year honors during his 10 seasons -- but the long-time defensive position coach acknowledges some concerns with play on that side of the ball entering the 2009 season .

“The keys to the defense are going to be how well we play at the safety and linebacker positions,” Matthews said . “We have a lot of questions there, and we still could make some personnel moves .”

The shifts of Allen, Yancey and Rose from offense during the spring were in response to defensive needs, and the JMU staff also expects to use Pat Williams at linebacker following his impressive freshman season a year ago at strong safety .

Starters are back in their same positions on defense only in Daniels and Moats on the front and in sophomore Jamie Veney at linebacker . With Williams going to linebacker, Vidal Nelson is the likely starter at strong safety . Nelson moved from the secondary to linebacker last season when starter D .J . Brandon was lost for the year from an injury at Richmond Oct . 11 .

Allen completed spring drills as a probable cornerback starter, and McGee has seen extensive starting time at cornerback, although his development as one of the nation’s leading kick returners a year ago somewhat reduced his availability on defense .

The Dukes lost defensive starters in Abdul-Wahid and tackle J .D . Skolnitsky (61 tackles, 10 .5 stops for loss, 4 .5 sacks) on the front, Haywood and Gerren Griffin at safety, and McCollough and Darrieus Ramsey at cornerback . Griffin took part in 61 tackles in nine games last season, and Ramsey had 29 stops a year ago and two interceptions during each of the last two seasons .

JMU hasn’t allowed as much as 325 yards per game in total offense during any of the last six seasons and a year gave up an average of but 307 .1 per game .

LineMatthews Says: It’s the most athletic group we’ve had up front . Arthur

Moats and Sam Daniels are All-America candidates, and Ronnell Brown had a better spring than either of them .

Moats tied for third on last season’s team in tackles with 65 and had team highs of 15 .5 stops for loss and 11 .5 sacks, just off Chris Morant’s (1998-2000) team season record of 12 sacks . Daniels took part in 42 tackles, including 12 for loss and six sacks .

Brown was involved in 22 tackles a year ago, and sophomore defensive end Greg Woodson, who saw limited time last season, came out of spring drills as the fourth line starter .

Senior Dominique White (5 stops last season) has been a situational tackle who will be counted on for an increased role; sophomore end D .J . Bryant and sophomore tackle Max Alexandre saw limited time a year ago; and redshirt freshman tackle Earl Watford and redshirt freshman end Aaron Harper should be in the playing rotation .

LinebackerMatthews Says: We have guys who can run . We feel we have good players,

but they’re inexperienced . We’re to need to have guys step up . Chase Williams had an excellent spring; Jamie Veney had a good year last season as a true freshman; and Pat Williams going to linebacker is a good move for us .

Veney tied for sixth on last season’s team in tackles with 61 and was a starter throughout his first college season, and Pat Williams has added size, making linebacker a better position for him, according to the JMU staff .

Chase Williams sat out last season as a freshman redshirt but is player the JMU staff expects to assume a prominent role, and sophomore Markus Hunter was used at linebacker during the spring after seeing playing time last season in the secondary and on special teams .

SecondaryMatthews Says: We feel good about our cornerbacks . Mike Allen going

from wide receiver to cornerback was the move of the spring for us . He’s talented and played very well, and Scotty McGee when healthy is very good . At safety there are a lot of questions that we’ll have to answer during preseason camp . Strong safety is in good hands with Vidal Nelson and Jon Rose . Griff Yancey played well at free safety during the spring game, and we’ll continue to see how he plays there .

Allen saw limited time at wide receiver last season but impressed the JMU staff on defense during the spring, and McGee took part in 30 tackles last

season after being involved in 45 as a redshirt freshman in 2006 and 18 in 2007 . Sophomore Taveion Cuffee had 17 tackles in 11 games as a true freshman in 2008 and redshirt freshman Ryan Smith should see playing time at cornerback after en-rolling at JMU for the spring semester

Nelson is at his more-natural position at strong safety, and the JMU staff likes Rose there . Sophomore Bill Roman also could see strong safety time after playing mostly on special teams as a true freshman last sea-

son . Sophomore Jon Williams, who had 17 tackles, and senior Jamaris Sanders, who had 23 stops last season and who has

secondary starting experience, are contenders for the weak safety spot .Yancey impressed the JMU staff during his brief time at free safety late during

the spring, and senior Brandon Randolph has lettered twice and provides experi-ence .

Special TeamsMatthews Says: Dixon Wright had a solid

spring and has become more consistent; our punt-ers have to get better . In Scotty McGee we have the premier return man in the nation .

McGee averaged 29 .1 yards on kickoff returns and 12 .9 yards on punt returns and returned the kickoff against Appalachian State for a touchdown and two punts for scores in addition to the one against Richmond . He has JMU’s three best season kick-off return averages, and his four overall returns for scores and three punt returns in a season a year ago are both JMU records .

Wright was used briefly as a kickoff specialist last season when Jason Pritchard was injured, and he had 48- and 39-yard field goals during JMU’s spring game .

In addition to Pritchard, who was the team’s punter for three seasons and who averaged 37 .4 yards per kick last season, the Dukes also lost placekicker Dave Stannard . Stannard hit on 11 of 15 field goal attempts and 66 of 68 conversion kicks last season and had 23 field goals and 115 conversions in two JMU seasons .

Sophomore Andy Smith (9 punts, 32 .0 average) and junior Matt Goff (8 punts, 42 .5) punted while Pritchard was sidelined last season, and they and redshirt freshman Matt Mares worked as punters dur-ing the spring .

2009 Coaching Staff

Born: Nov. 8, 1953Year at JMU: 11thCareer Year: 11thGraduate of: West Texas State (1976)Hometown: Andrews, TexasJMU, Career Record: 76-46

Mickey Matthews during 10 seasons has firmly established James Madison University football among the nation’s leading Football Championship Subdivision programs. While becoming the winningest coach in JMU football history, he has led the Dukes to an

NCAA championship (2004) and to four other playoff appearances (1999, 2006, 2007, 2008).

Matthews has a 76-46 JMU record and during the 2008 season surpassed Challace McMillin’s (1972-84) program record for wins. McMillin, JMU’s first football coach, had a 67-56-1 mark. Matthews’ teams are 49-15 over the last five years and have won the program’s national title and received four post-season bids during that time. JMU tied for the 2004 Atlantic 10 championship and won the 2008 Colonial Athletic Association title with an 8-0 record. The Dukes are 33-7 in league play during the last five seasons.

Matthews three times has been national coach of the year (1999 Eddie Robinson Award by The Sports Network; American Football Coaches’ 2004 award; 2008 Robinson Award, award by Liberty Mutual) and was Atlantic 10 coach of the year in 1999 and CAA coach of the year in 2008.

JMU in 2004 was 13-2 and the first team to reach the Division I-AA title game with three road wins. JMU won at Lehigh (14-13), Furman (14-13) and William & Mary (48-34) and beat Montana (31-21) for the national crown. The 13 wins set a team season record.

JMU’s 2004 losses were to nationally ranked Division I-A West Virginia and to a William & Mary team it later beat during the playoffs. The Dukes beat four nationally ranked teams during the regular season.

JMU reached the 2006 playoffs while going 9-3 and 2007 post-season play while going 8-4.

The Dukes in 2008 lost their opener at Football Bowl Subdivision Duke but went on to a 10-1 regular-season record and the top seeding in the NCAA playoffs. JMU tied its team record with 12 straight wins, set a team mark for regular-season wins, and was the nation’s top-ranked team from late September through the end of the regular season. The Dukes played three playoff games at home and reached the national semifinals.

Matthews led JMU to a share of the Atlantic 10 title and to the league’s automatic playoff bid in 1999 during his first year as a head coach. The Dukes were 8-3 during the regular season after being 3-8 the previous year.

In 2004 he was Virginia coach of the year by the state’s sports information directors and the Norfolk and Portsmouth sports clubs, Division I-AA coach of the year by the All-America Football Foundation, and recipient of the Amarillo (Texas) chamber of commerce’s achievement award. In 2006, he was the Richmond Touchdown Club’s Virginia coach of the year.

* * * * *Matthews’ JMU players

have received eight league player of the year awards. Curtis Keaton was league offensive player of the year and Chris Morant defender of the year in 1999; Derrick Lloyd was co-defender of the year and received the Buck Buchanan Award as national defender of the year in 2001; Tony LeZotte was league defender of the year in 2005 and 2007; Akeem Jordan was league defender of the year and national defender of the year by College Sporting News in 2006; and Rodney Landers was league offensive player of the year and Scotty McGee league specialist of the year in 2008.

* * * * *Matthews in 1999 took his JMU job a week before spring practice was

to begin, inheriting a team that had won but five of its previous 18 games and was picked to finish next to last in the Atlantic 10. The Dukes lost at Division I-A national runner-up Virginia Tech but then won seven straight games, finished the regular season 8-3 overall and 7-1 in the Atlantic 10, reached post-season play for the first time in four years.

The Dukes were named to 12 spots on the league’s three all-star teams, and Keaton and Morant receiving player of the year honors was the first time

in the league since 1980 that teammates won the awards. Never before had the same program gotten both player awards and the coaching honor.

Matthews was introduced as JMU’s fifth head coach March 22, 1999, succeeding Alex Wood, who left to become quarterbacks’ coach with the NFL’s Minnesota Vikings.

JMU in 2002 was 5-7 and won two of its final three games with a squad that included only six seniors and five juniors. The Dukes won two overtime games, and six of their other contests were decided by seven or fewer points. JMU had eight All-Atlantic 10 honorees. JMU in 2003 was 6-6 with a team that had but four seniors.

His 2004 team won seven games by 10 or fewer points and two others that were scoreless into the second half. The balanced and deep JMU squad had only three first-team all-league honorees, including first-team All-Americas in offensive guard Matt Magerko and LeZotte, but had seven members named to the second and third all-league units.

JMU’s 7-4 team in 2005 had a first-team All-America in LeZotte, and in 2006 Jordan was runner-up for the Buchanan Award. The 2006 Dukes had seven first-team all-league picks, and JMU was first nationally in kickoff return average (27.1 yards), second in sacks (4.0 per game), and fourth in rushing defense (84.8 yards per game) and passing efficiency (162.5).

The 2007 Dukes were 8-4 after falling 28-27 to eventual champion Appalachian State in the first round of NCAA play. LeZotte received his second league defender of the year award and All-America honors for the fourth time, and JMU was the national leader in fewest quarterback sacks allowed (0.5 per game).

defensive backs at Georgia (1996-98), which won two bowl games during his tenure. He also coached Champ Bailey, the nation’s top defender and Washington’s first-round choice in the 1999 NFL draft.

Georgia was 5-6 in 1996, 10-2 in 1997 and 9-3 in 1998. The Bulldogs completed 1998 having won 20 of 25 games, including a Peach Bowl win over Virginia (35-33) and an Outback Bowl win over Wisconsin (33-6). With a supposedly rebuilding team in 1998, Georgia won four SEC road games and was second in the league and 16th nationally in scoring defense (17.2 points per game).

At Marshall from 1990-95, Matthews was part of a program that won the Division I-AA title in 1992, was runner-up in 1991, 1993 and 1995, and was a 1994 semifinalist. The Herd led the nation in scoring defense in 1993 and was seventh nationally in 1990 and 1995.

Marshall won 64 games during Matthews’ six years (58 the last five seasons) and won 11 or more games and made the playoffs from 1991-95. The Herd was 45-4 at home and 15-4 in post-season play.

Comments OnCoach Matthews

2009 Coaching Staff

JMU’s Program After His First 10 SeasonsWe’ve had a great run with the success that we’ve had on the field and the

consistent quality program that we’ve be able to develop, and credit has to be given in many areas . We’ve gotten tremendous support from our university and athletics administrations; our support staffs give us outstanding assistance; and the JMU Nation -- our students, alumni and

other fans -- have great enthusiasm for our program and interest in what we’re doing .

We’ve been able to take advantage of the tremendous potential that always has existed in the JMU foot-ball program . We have a nationally recognized academic institution with a beautiful campus and dedi-cated people . Combining those ingredients with a hard-working coaching staff and talented student-athletes hopefully can allow us to continue to build on the success that we’ve enjoyed .

Our recruiting continues to improve . We feel that if we

can get a recruit to visit on game day and see the atmosphere that we have surrounding our games

and our facilities, we have a great chance of signing him .

His Philosophy For A Successful ProgramOur first focus is to graduate every player . They’re here to go to school . A lot

of coaches give lip service to that, but our players will find out in a hurry how serious I am about us going to school; I want every youngster to graduate .

Secondly, I want to make sure everyone has a good time, really work at it . I’m easy to get along with, and our staff is that way . I want to make sure they have a good time because I tell all the players this will be the best time of their lives, being a college football player and attending JMU .

The third thing is that while we’re graduating everybody and everybody is having a good time, we’ll try to win football games . Believe me, winning is important; that’s why they have the scoreboard . Winning has to be something you think about every day . Winning has to be something you don’t talk about, you have to train yourself to do it . And our youngsters will do it, believe me .

His StaffIt’s a fact on the FCS level that if you win, you’re going to have turnover

on your staff . We’ve been fortunate here that we’ve kept much of our staff together for several years . I like our staff . It’s a close-knit group that works well together . We have the best group of recruiters that we’ve had, and they continue to do a solid job .

Our two coordinators are very solid, are excellent leaders, are intelligent and good organizers, and make excellent game decisions . I really like the leadership Jeff Durden (offensive coordinator) provides, and Kyle Gillenwater (defensive co-ordinator) has been here since my hiring and will do an excellent job in his new role . Our coaches have great rapport with our players, and I think that shows on Saturdays in how we play . We’ve always felt that we have the best strength and conditioning coach (Jim Durning) in college football, and we’re happy that he’s still with us .

We’ve had a lot of stability . You’re going to have movement on a staff; you can’t hide good coaches . It’s a huge compliment that so many people have inquired about our assistants .

Chris Malone took over as our offensive line coach after splitting the respon-sibilities the year before, and we didn’t lose a thing there . We lost Joe Danna (secondary coach in 2007) but brought in Mark Hendricks . They’re very similar,

and our coaches had worked with Mark in camps . We thought we knew what we were getting . He’s fit in well and we’re excited to have him .

Mo Linguist has been another excellent addition to our staff . He’s a highly qualified young coach who relates to our players and who will recruit well .

Strength & Conditioning Coach Jim DurningThe importance to our team of Jim Durning and his staff of assistants can-

not be overestimated . His motivational and organizational skills in strength and conditioning have brought outstanding results to our entire program . He conducts an outstanding year-round program, and we are a much stronger and better-conditioned football team because of Coach Durning’s work with our play-ers . Our players have great respect for him and the leadership he provides .

JMU’s Athletic Performance CenterNot only is the Plecker Athletic Performance Center the top FCS facility in

the nation, it’s a top-40 end zone facility . The fact that we can combine our locker room, our strength and conditioning area, our academic support areas, our sports medicine area, and our office areas under one roof allows us to accomplish so much more than what we were able to do in the past . More than anything else, the completion of the facility demonstrates the university’s commitment to having a first-class football program . It speaks volumes to the players we would like to recruit to our program and to the outside world . We’ve always had a beautiful campus to recruit to; putting the facility on top of that is extremely advantageous for our recruitment of student-athletes .

JMU’s Planned Stadium ExpansionWe already have an excellent playing facility but are looking forward to the

next several years and the planned additions and upgrades at Bridgeforth Stadium/Zane Showker Field . We’ve gotten outstanding support during recent seasons, and moving to nearly 25,000 seats will allow our program to continue to develop and for more of our fans to enjoy everything that’s included in JMU football . Not only will there be increased seating, but everything included in the planned expansion should make for a more-enjoyable experience for everyone involved with JMU football .

His Offensive PhilosophyWe strive to be balanced because offensive football always has been about

taking advantage of your available personnel . We want to be known as a multiple offensive football team that presents preparation problems to our opponents . We have a wide-open philosophy that our fans enjoy, but we don’t sacrifice solid, offensive football principles .

His Defensive PhilosophyOur base defense is an eight-man front, and we want to be extremely multiple .

We want to blitz and use an attacking front . In pass coverage we play as much man-to-man as our talent allows . We place a premium on speed as opposed to size .

His Recruiting PhilosophyWe concentrate our recruiting in Virginia, the Washington, D .C ., and Baltimore

areas, and Eastern Pennsylvania . We hope to attract top student-athletes who are quality football players and who can contribute to JMU’s strong academic environment .

We continue to recruit very well in Virginia, and that’s because of the makeup of our staff . I’ve recruited in Virginia for more than 15 years, and (assistant) Kyle Gillenwater is a Virginia native with a lot of contacts . We have a Virginia presence on our staff, and that really helps . Five years ago we also added (assistant) Jeff Durden, who had previous coaching experience in the state . Assistants Ulrick Edmonds, Clayton Matthews and Josh Haymore played for us and have backgrounds in the state, and J .C . Price and Chris Malone have state ties after playing at Virginia Tech and coaching in the state before coming to JMU .

2009 Coaching StaffCAA

The Colonial Athletic Association is the toughest FSC league in the country; no other conference has the quality of teams that we have from top to bot-tom . The 2004 season is a good example; we won the national champion-ship, and four teams from our league made the playoffs and won games . Before the season, the coaches picked Villanova at the top of the league; Northeastern was listed by publications as one of the better teams in the country; and Maine went to Mississippi State and won . All three were excel-lent teams and because of one bad break or another didn’t make the playoffs . I think that speaks volumes for the strength and balance in our league .

During the last two seasons the conference sent a record five teams to the playoffs, and every year we have multiple teams deserving of postseason bids .

JMU’s RecruitingWe’re very happy with the quality of players we continue to attract, and the

reason that we continue to be successful is that we have the best group of recruiters that we’ve ever had . We have an enthusiastic and hard-working group of recruiters . Mo Linguist has been a huge addition to our staff; he’s a young and energetic coach who is going to fit right in .

Our incoming group of recruits will be our fourth since the completion of the Plecker Performance Center, and we’ve been able to attract a better group of players each year .

Perceptions Of The JMU ProgramWe expect to be among the top FCS programs in the nation and feel that

our recent success puts us in that grouping . We’re 49-15 over the last five seasons, have been in the playoffs four times during that period, have won a national championship, and consistently have been nationally ranked .

One thing that puts a different light on our program is the way we won the national championship in 2004 . A lot of teams have depended on home crowds to get them over the top during the playoffs . The reason we’re looked at differently is that we reached the championship game by winning games in as difficult situations as you would ever want to walk into .

We feel that our players are outstanding ambassadors for our program and university . We put our recruits with our returning players, and those players do a great job conveying the many things JMU and our program can offer .

His Attraction To JMU

What attracted me to this position was that JMU is the total package as an institution for the student-athlete . The academic reputation of the school is very high, and I al-ways have thought that football at JMU had tremendous potential .

JMU As A SchoolThe best salesmen for JMU are its former students . You never find JMU

alumni who don’t highly recommend the university and say that their experi-ence here was the best four or five years of their lives .

JMU’s CampusIt’s impossible to visit JMU’s campus and not to be impressed with its beauty

and dynamic growth .

JMU’s AdministrationOur administration not only has provided our support building, it also has

been very supportive in helping us keep our staff intact . Our administrators continue to work to make sure that everything surrounding our program is handled in a first-class manner . They want football to be at the forefront representing JMU; and I believe that with good leadership, the sky is the limit for JMU football .

I think it is impossible to walk into our stadium and not realize that our football program gets outstanding support . President Rose, Mr .

King (JMU vice president) and Mr . Bourne (athletics director) want us to be successful, but they want things to be done the right way and

provide us with what we need to do so .

JMU’s Support For Student-AthletesOur associate athletics director for student-

athlete services, Casey Carter, is a cornerstone, not only for football but for the entire athletics program at JMU . She puts the students first, and it shows in how she and her staff perform in their jobs on a day-to-day basis .

Influences In His Professional DevelopmentI learned from my dad that hard work and persever-

ance are two keys to being successful . He worked seven days a week and always said that good things would come to people who worked hard . The second thing is that I’m a product of Texas high school football .

I came up when Darrell Royal was at Texas, and he, Bum Phillips and Spike Dykes had a great deal of influence on the coaches in the state and on the game itself . I played for Gene Mayfield at West Texas State, and he started the Odessa-Permian dynasty . Finally Jim Donnan and Hal Mumme taught me about wide-open offenses and not being afraid to take chances .

seat lighted facility in the center of campus, features a FieldTurf playing surface, a state-of-the-art support facility in the south end zone, and a 70-by-30 foot scoreboard with video capabilities above the north end zone.

• Construction will begin following the 2009 season on a project that will expand Bridgeforth Stadium/Zane Showker Field’s seating capacity to nearly 25,000. Enhanced seating, with a club level and suites, a second deck on the stadium’s west side, and a new media facility will be included. Permanent seating is planned for the stadium’s scoreboard end zone area, and improved fan amenities will be available as the $50 million project progresses.

• The stadium is named for William E. Bridgeforth of Winchester, Va., a long-time JMU supporter and board of visitors member whose family remains very active with JMU. The playing field is named for Harrisonburg-area businessman Zane Showker, a long-time JMU supporter and university board rector and for whom JMU’s business school facility is named.

• The stadium was constructed in three phases. A synthetic playing surface was installed in 1973-74, the east stands (near Godwin Hall, JMU’s athletics/kinesiology facility) in 1975 and the west stands in 1981.

• Godwin Hall houses a 5,000-seat gymnasium, an 800-seat natatorium and areas for strength training and indoor practices.

• A large and modern student recreation facility with lighted, artificially surfaced playing fields.

• Facilities also include the 7,156-seat JMU Convocation Center for basketball, a lighted, two-field soccer/lacrosse complex, and a lighted field hockey/track and field complex with a synthetic play-ing surface. JMU’s baseball and softball programs during the spring of 2010 are scheduled to begin playing in the new Veterans Memorial Stadium com-plex, a lighted facility that will provide an outstanding playing venue for each program.

JMU PresidentDr. Linwood H. Rose

Dr. Linwood H. Rose became the fifth president of James Madison University in September 1998. Under his leadership, JMU has developed a reputation as one of the top public universities in the nation.

JMU offers a student-centered atmosphere that blends the best attributes of a liberal arts education, including superlative teaching and high levels of service and support, with the best qualities found at larger doctoral universities, including a

wide breadth of programs, world-class faculty, state-of-the-art facilities

and opportunities for students to be actively involved in research and discovery.

National surveys continue to cite the university’s academic excellence and its emphasis on student involvement and civic engagement. JMU has also established itself as a leader in institutional performance measurement, accountability and assessment of student learning. The university has been recognized for offering proven value and an excellent return on investment to its students.

Founded in 1908, the university recently completed a year-long celebration in honor of the institution’s 100th anniversary. Under Dr. Rose’s direction, the university community has inaugurated several new transformational initiatives which will chart the course for the university’s second century. These initiatives include enhanced diversity, the creation of a comprehensive campus master plan, and the Institute for Stewardship of the Natural World to promote a culture of sustainability on the JMU campus.

Central to Dr. Rose’s administration have been efforts to diversify and expand JMU’s funding portfolio. The university successfully completed its first comprehensive capital campaign, benefiting from $70 million in contributions for scholarships, faculty support, and ongoing support for academic, co-curricular, and capital projects. The university’s budget has doubled since 1998, and JMU’s sponsored program activity also has expanded significantly. The university also has developed a strategic partnership with SRI International, a California-based research institute.

Since Dr. Rose became president, more than a million square feet of new facilities have been added to the JMU campus and 20 new academic programs, including six doctoral programs, have been approved. Dr. Rose also led efforts to align the university more closely with the legacy of President James Madison, the fourth U.S. President and primary author of the U.S. Constitution. JMU is the only university in America named for Mr. Madison.

In addition to his leadership role at JMU, Dr. Rose has represented JMU and Virginia in a variety of important roles on national, regional and state commissions and advisory boards.

Dr. Rose serves as the only higher education representative on the National Infrastructure Advisory Committee that reports to the President of the United States. The committee makes recommendations regarding

the security of the cyber and information systems of the United States. (JMU is one of seven charter members of the National Security Agency’s Centers of Excellence in Information Security Education.)

Dr. Rose was formerly chair of the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS), the regional accrediting agency for 11 Southern states. He also has served as commissioner, Virginia state chairman, committee chair and executive council member for SACS. In addition, Dr. Rose served as a member of the Division I board of directors of the National Collegiate Athletic Association from 2000-04 and also has served as the Virginia state representative to the American Association of State Colleges and Universities (AASCU).

He is a member and former president of the Council of Presidents, an organization of the presidents of Virginia’s senior colleges and universities. He serves on boards of directors for the Philpott Manufacturing Partnership and SunTrust Bank, Harrisonburg and is also a member of the Harrisonburg Downtown Renaissance Advisory Board.

Dr. Rose previously has served as chairman of the board of Rockingham Memorial Hospital, as president and campaign chairman of the Harrisonburg-Rockingham County United Way, and as a member of the James Madison Commemorative Commission of the U.S. Congress.

Dr. Rose began his professional career with JMU in 1975, and his assignments have included responsibilities in every division of the university. He took a leave from the university during the fall of 1985 to serve as Virginia’s deputy secretary of education. In 1994 Dr. Rose was promoted to the position of executive vice president. He served as acting president during the fall of 1997 and was tapped to be JMU’s chief executive the following September. He was formally inaugurated Sept. 17, 1999.

Dr. Rose grew up in Staunton, Va. He holds degrees from Virginia Tech, The University of Tennessee and the University of Virginia.

Dr. Rose and his wife, Judith, reside at Oakview in Harrisonburg. They have four children and three grandchildren.


Athletics DirectorJeff Bourne

Jeff Bourne is in his 11th year as JMU’s athletics director after working as an administrator in successful programs at Virginia Tech and Georgia Tech for 13 years. At JMU, he directs a program that is competitive within the Colonial Athletic Association and at regional and national levels and that has positioned itself to continue play a major role in intercollegiate athletics.

Bourne has overseen restructuring to bring JMU’s program into full compliance with gender equity guidelines. He has led plans to insure the academic success of JMU student-athletes and is coordinating a facilities planning process that will provide the university with outstanding competition and fan venues for years to come.

JMU will complete a baseball/softball complex for use beginning during the 2009-2010 academic year, and a $50 million expansion project at JMU’s Bridgeforth Stadium/Zane Showker Field will start after the 2009 football season.

The football stadium expansion project will increase seating at the facility to nearly 25,000 and will feature major enhancements, including private suites and club level seating, improved concessions and restroom facilities, improved lighting, and a new media facility.

Planning is underway for development of recently acquired university property that eventually will become competition and practice sites for several sports.

Under Bourne, JMU has developed an enhanced volunteer fundraising network and a point-priority system to recognize donor participation and has implemented programs to increase game attendance and address the needs of athletics infrastructure. A major enhancement of JMU’s sports medicine operation has taken place; yearly fundraising totals have increased significantly; and a strategic planning process to enhance the organizational structure of the athletics division is being implemented.

“We’re very proud of the accomplishments we’ve had, and we will continue to take the steps we feel appropriate to allow our programs to be competitive athletically and for our student-athletes to be successful academically,” Bourne said. “Our goals are to win conference championships and to advance our teams to post-season play while adhering to NCAA and conference guidelines and to graduate our student-athletes.

“We continue to strengthen the infrastructure and facilities of the athletics program,” he said. “Our support centers and athletics personnel are dedicated to providing student-athletes with the best experience possible at the intercollegiate level. We also are extremely pleased with the construction of the Robert and Frances Plecker Athletic Performance Center, which benefits all of our student-athletes with state-of-the-art academic facilities and serves as an entrance and focal point for our football stadium. Other athletics facilities construction that is being planned and implemented on campus -- immediately new baseball and softball stadiums and enhancement of our football facility and later upgrades for other programs -- will provide JMU with outstanding competition sites.”

During Bourne’s tenure more than 1,000 conference academic honors have been given to JMU student-athletes, including CAA scholar-athletes, CAA commissioner’s academic award winners and ECAC scholar-athletes of the year. JMU also has had four student-athletes receive NCAA post-graduate scholarships.

Perhaps the best measure of success is the NCAA’s Academic Progress Rate. JMU has ranked well above the NCAA minimum standard for each of the program’s rating periods, and no JMU teams have been subject to APR-related penalties. Seven of JMU’s 18 teams had APR scores ranking in at least the 90th percentile of their respective sports in the most-recent APR release, the greatest number reaching that mark among any of the 12 Colonial Athletic Association institutions.

The Plecker Performance Center, which opened during the spring of 2005, is among the more-significant projects in JMU athletics’

history. The $10 million facility is adjacent to Bridgeforth Stadium/Zane Showker Field and features support areas for football and areas for entertaining during home football games and for JMU’s athletic hall of fame. Also included is the Challace McMillin Academic Center that benefits performers in all JMU sports programs. Advising and counseling for all of JMU student-athletes take place at the facility, which also includes an outstanding computer lab and strength training and sports medicine facilities.

Bridgeforth Stadium/Zane Showker Field, the home of JMU’s football program, has had a large electronic scoreboard with live game action and video replay capabilities, an outstanding FieldTurf playing surface and an enhanced sound system added in recent years.

Bourne served in several athletics roles at Virginia Tech from 1986-97 and was senior associate athletics director at Georgia Tech from 1997-99. At Georgia Tech, he supervised finance, marketing and promotions, ticketing, sports information, and radio and television broadcasts and production. He also was liaison to the Alexander-Tharpe fund, the university’s development arm, and administered baseball and golf.

At Virginia Tech, he was associate athletics director during his final two years, and he co-chaired a committee that reviewed gender equity at the school. The committee developed and implemented a plan that brought the school into compliance with federal guidelines and ranked it fifth nationally in compliance.

A Salem, Va., native, Bourne was Virginia Tech’s athletics business manager and then associate athletics director for administration and finance.

Bourne received his Bridgewater College degree in business administration and accounting in 1981 and completed his master’s degree in education and sports management at Virginia Tech in 1994. He worked for five years in public accounting and received his certification in public accountancy before moving to Virginia Tech, where he first was an internal auditor and a consultant to the athletic business office. He is a 1994 graduate of the Sports Management Institute Executive Program from the University of North Carolina and the University of Southern California.

Bourne’s wife, the former Mary Lou Garber, is a Harrisonburg area native and a Bridgewater graduate. They have two sons -- Jason (20), a JMU student, and Kyle (17).

Association FootballColonial Athletic

Colonial Athletic Association Football fans thought the league’s first season in 2007 was spectacular. Little did they know 2008 would build on the previous year and include the league’s fourth national cham-pionship. In 2008 as many as six CAA teams ranked among the national top 25 during the season, and JMU and Richmond had a strangle-hold on the No. 1 spot over the last 11 weeks of the season.

CAA Football upped its record of national player of the week honorees by earning 19 last season, com-pared to 15 in 2007. The regular-season success car-ried into the postseason when CAA Football equaled its record by placing five squads in the NCAA Division I Football Championships. Prior to 2007 no conference had earned more than four berths in a season, and CAA Football now has had five in consecutive years.

Four of the CAA’s five playoff squads advanced to the quarterfinals, and JMU and Richmond reached the final four, marking the ninth time in 12 years a CAA Football squad has competed in the semifinals.

Richmond logged a come-from-behind win over Northern Iowa in the semifinals, giving the league its fifth national final berth in six years. The Spiders then dominated Montana in the title game, 24-7, to earn the league’s first NCAA crown under the CAA Football banner. Richmond’s national championship was the league’s fourth in 10 years and third in six seasons. Following the season, the league boasted six top-25 teams and four top-10 squads and received 78 All-America honors.

The quality and depth of CAA Football is unmatched in the FCS. Ten of the league’s 12 teams have reached the NCAA playoffs during the past eight years.

In 2004, JMU won the national title 31-21 over Montana, becoming the first team to reach the title game by winning three road playoff contests. Delaware beat Colgate 40-0 to win the 2003 crown, becoming the first team to post a shutout in the title game. No other league has had different teams win national titles in back-to-back years. Massachusetts won a title in 1998, beating Georgia Southern 55-43.

Along with the team accomplishments, the league has accumulated numerous individual accolades. New Hampshire quarterback Ricky Santos (2006), William & Mary quarter-back Lang Campbell (2004), Villanova running back Brian Westbrook (2001), Villanova wide receiver Brian Finneran (1997), New Hampshire running back Jerry Azumah (1998) and Towson running back Dave Meggett (1988) have won the Walter Payton Award, and JMU linebacker Derrick Lloyd won the 2001 Buck Buchanan Award.

New Hampshire’s Sean McDonnell (2005), JMU’s Mickey Matthews (1999, 2008), Villanova’s Andy Talley (1997) and Boston University’s Dan Allen (1993) have won the Eddie Robinson national coach of the year award. Richmond’s Mike London (2008), Matthews

(2004), Massachusetts’ Mark Whipple (1998) and Talley (1997) have been the American Football Coaches Association national coach of the year.

While CAA Football officially began March 1, 2007, its roots date to Dec. 3, 1946, when the Code of the Yankee Conference went into effect. Established as an all-sports league for the New England land grant colleges, the six charter members were Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode

Island, and Vermont. Upon the formation of Division I-AA football in 1978, the league disbanded all sports except football. Delaware and Richmond were admit-ted in 1986; Villanova was added in 1988; and JMU, Northeastern, and William & Mary started competing in 1993.

The Atlantic 10 had operational control of the league from 1997-2006 with Hofstra joining in 2001 and Towson in 2004.

Since 1978, CAA Football members have accumu-lated 67 playoff berths, 19 Lambert Cups, 88 final top-25 rankings and 44 final top-10 rankings.

JMU & The CAAJMU was a charter CAA member in 1985 and is a

member of the Eastern College Athletic Conference.JMU and the CAA’s other original members had com-

peted in the ECAC South and retained their ECAC ties while assuming a more-independent role with the for-mation of a then-eight-member league. CAA members in non-football sports now include JMU, Delaware, Drexel, George Mason, Georgia State, Hofstra, North Carolina Wilmington, Northeastern, Old Dominion, Towson, Virginia Commonwealth, and William & Mary.

The ECAC has more than 250 members from the Middle Atlantic area through New England. Formed in 1938, it assigns officials, administers the affairs of 20 affiliate organizations and manages more than 40 championships annually. Many leagues compete in association with the ECAC, including the CAA, the Atlantic 10, the Big East and the Ivy League.

The CAA has men’s championships in baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, lacrosse, soccer, swimming and diving, tennis, track and field, and wrestling and women’s championships in basketball, cross country, field hockey, golf, lacrosse, rowing, soccer, softball, swimming and diving, tennis, track and field, and volleyball.

2008 ReviewDuke 31, JMU 7

Wallace Wade StadiumDurham, N.C. -- Aug. 30

Duke scored three touchdowns during a 6:09 period midway through the game, putting together a 67-yard touchdown drive to lead 14-7 five seconds before halftime and taking control with two quick third-quarter scores after JMU turnovers.

JMU’s Scotty McGee returned the second-half kickoff 60 yards to the Duke 34, but the Devils’ Jabari Marshall returned a second-down interception 67 yards to the JMU 22. DU scored six plays later to lead 21-7; got possession on a fumble recovery on JMU’s next offensive play;

and six plays later upped the lead to 28-7 with 8:56 left in the third period.DU added a field goal on its next series to end the scoring in a game delayed

at its start for nearly 90 minutes because of an electrical storm.The Devils got their go-ahead score late during the first half on a seven-yard

Thaddeus Lewis-to-Eron Riley pass on third and one. The scoring toss capped a 14-play series after DU converted on fourth and one from the JMU 21.

Marshall’s interception return set up a one-yard Clifford Harris scoring run at 11:53 of the third period, and Lewis and Riley connected on a 20-yard scor-ing strike for DU’s 28-7 lead after JMU’s fumble at its 34.

DU moved from JMU’s 46 to the eight after a short punt for a 27-yard field goal at 3:03 of the third quarter.

DU had 364 yards to JMU’s 239 and converted on nine of 18 third-down attempts. JMU failed to convert on any of its eight third-down tries and lost a fumble after reaching the DU nine early during the fourth quarter.

JMU scored on a 47-yard run by Rodney Landers with 4:31 left in the first quarter to cap a five-play, 79-yard series and pull into a 7-7 tie.

DU took a 7-0 lead at 7:06 of the first quarter when Harris capped an 11-play, 66-yard drive with a one-yard carry.

2008 ReviewJMU 52, Massachusetts 38

Bridgeforth Stadium/Zane Showker FieldHarrisonburg, Va. -- Sept. 13, 2008

Rodney Landers broke his team record for quarterback rushing yards to lead JMU.

The Dukes never trailed, scoring the game’s first two touchdowns and then leading by at least two scores for all but four minutes of the fourth quarter when Massachusetts got within 45-38 with 6:00 left. However, JMU answered with a 71-yard drive that consumed 4:04, capped by a Griff Yancey touchdown with 1:56 left.

Landers ran 26 times for 206 yards and two touchdowns and hit on four of six passes for 85 yards and a score. JMU also benefitted from the special teams play of Scotty McGee, who returned three punts for 92 yards and four kickoffs for 104 yards to set up several short scor-ing drives.

UM’s Liam Coen threw for 339 yards and three scores, and Victor Cruz set stadium records with 13 catches and 262 receiving yards.

JMU led 21-10 when it took possession on its 24 with 1:47 left in the first half. Landers led the drive in 1:09, capped by a 47-yard touchdown pass to Kerby Long. Coen then was intercepted by Evan McCollough, and Dave Stannard’s 46-yard field goal finished a 10-point JMU swing.

The teams traded a pair of touchdowns each to open the last half before UM got to within 45-38 on a five-play drive in 1:00 with a two-yard scoring run by Tony Nelson.

JMU took possession with 6:00 left, and Landers led the eight-play, 71-yard drive for the final margin.

JMU 35, Appalachian State 32

Bridgeforth Stadium/Zane Showker FieldHarrisonburg, Va. -- Sept. 20

JMU outscored Appalachian State 35-11 in the second half, turning a 21-0 deficit into a 35-32 win in a meeting of top-five teams before a stadium-record of 17,163.

No. 5 JMU turned the game with big plays. JMU during the last half scored on a 99-yard kickoff return, a 62-yard run and a 35-yard pass and set up a score with a 47-yard run.

Scotty McGee had a 99-yard return for a touch-down on the second-half kickoff to start JMU’s

rally. After forcing ASU three-and-out, JMU then got a 62-yard touchdown run by Rodney Landers on its first offensive play of the half.

ASU again went three-and-out on its next series, but a Landers interception set it up on a short field, leading to a 30-yard Jason Vitaris field goal.

Another JMU quick-strike produced a touchdown with Landers finding Griff Yancey on a 35-yard pass on the second play of a 34-second drive to get JMU within 24-21.

Landers led JMU on an eight-play, 46-yard drive, capped by a four-yard run by Eugene Holloman, to give the Dukes their first lead, 28-24, with 10:48 left.

ASU appeared poised for a go-ahead score on the next series when Robert Welton was stripped of the ball by Jamie Veney with JMU recovering at its 13 with 8:21 left. The Dukes responded with their longest drive of the game with Landers scoring from the one with 2:31 left for a 35-24 lead.

ASU came back with a five-play, 51-yard drive in just 0:49, the key a 38-yard Armanti Edwards-to-Josh Johnson pass to JMU’s four. Welton scored, and Edwards ran for the two-point conversion to cut the lead to 35-32.

JMU then covered an onside kick try, ran three plays and had time expire on a fourth-down punt.

JMU 24, Maine 10Alfond StadiumOrono, Maine -- Sept. 27

Rodney Landers ran for 156 yards and a touchdown and threw for 108 yards; Griff Yancey scored twice; and JMU pulled away late.

Landers, who ran 27 times, scored on a 30-yard run in the third quarter for a 10-3 JMU lead and hit on seven of 13 passes. Yancey ran 10 times and scored from 12 and 30 yards after Maine tied the score, 10-10, early during the final period.

The win was Coach Mickey Matthews’ 68th in 10 JMU years and made him JMU’s winningest coach.

JMU went in up to stay on the series after Maine pulled into the 10-10 tie but not before the Bears apparently had gotten the ball with their second suc-cessful on-sides kick of the game. However, Maine was called for interfering with JMU’s chance to field the kick, giving JMU a first down at the UM 35 after a 15-yard penalty. The Dukes scored in three plays with Yancey covering the final 12 yards with 12:21 left.

JMU then held UM without a first down and put together an 11-play, 85-yard drive that used 6:27. Yancey ran the final 30 yards, scoring at 3:39.

UM scored first on a 27-yard Brian Harvey field goal at 2:53 of the first quar-ter. The Bears moved 56 yards in nine plays.

JMU tied the score at 8:53 of the second quarter on a 26-yard Dave Stannard field goal. The Dukes moved 69 yards in 12 plays.

JMU went up 10-3 at 4:18 of the third quarter on Landers’ 30-yard scoring run to cap a four-play, 82-yard series. Landers hit Eugene Holloman with a 40-yard pass to the UM 30.

UM pulled into a 10-10 tie with 13:23 left on Derek Session’s 35-yard run. The Bears got possession at the JMU 43 after a punt and scored on their second play.

JMU intercepted three passes, and Marcus Haywood had his second two-interception game of 2008.

JMU 56, Hofstra 0Bridgeforth Stadium/Zane Showker FieldHarrisonburg, Va. -- Oct. 4

JMU posted its largest winning margin over a league foe during its Family Weekend. The Dukes’ previous largest margin was in a 55-14 win over Towson in 2005. It was one point shy of the most points scored against a conference foe.

JMU led in yards 375-195, including a 279-67 rushing edge. The Dukes averaged 6.6 yards per play, and Hofstra didn’t have a play of as long as 20 yards.

Rodney Landers accounted for 225 yards and four touchdowns for JMU. He ran for 133 yards and a score and hit on seven of 13 passes for 92 yards and three touchdowns.

Two of the scoring passes went to Rockeed McCarter, who also blocked a punt on HU’s first series.

JMU started the onslaught after holding HU three-and-out on its first set. McCarter broke through the line for the punt block, which was recovered by Corwin Acker and returned 16 yards for a touchdown.

The Dukes scored on their next four offensive sets to lead 35-0 at halftime. The scoring included a three-yard run by Eugene Holloman, a seven-yard screen pass from Landers to McCarter, a 49-yard pass from Landers to Griff Yancey, and a 45-yard Landers run.

JMU’s second-half scores came on a similar four-yard pass from Landers to McCarter, a 44-yard interception return by Ronnell Brown, and a 25-yard Drew Dudzik run.

The Dukes dominated with 22 first downs to 10 for Delaware. JMU ran 77 plays for 385 yards and UD 43 plays for 169 yards.

After leading 14-0 at halftime, JMU broke the game open with 20 straight third-quarter points, highlighted by two long drives. The Dukes opened the half with a 13-play, 72-yard drive in 6:37, capped by a four-yard run by Eugene Holloman. JMU forced UD three and out and went on a nine-play, 85-yard drive in 3:44 with a 35-yard scoring run by Landers, his longest carry of the game.

After another three and out by the Hens, JMU’s Scotty McGee returned a punt 64 yards for a touchdown, his third 2008 punt return for a score.

UD followed the return with a 94-yard kickoff for a score by Jerry Butler for its points.

JMU got its final score on a five-yard pass from Drew Dudzik to Charlie Newman.

JMU took a 14-0 first-half lead on a pair of one-yard runs, the first by Jamal Sullivan after a fumble that Hassan Abdul-Wahid returned 12 yards to the UD nine. The other was by Landers, capping a 16-play, 73-yard effort in 9:16.

JMU’s Rodney Landers ran for 117 yards and three touchdowns and hit on nine of 12 passes for 86 yards and a score. Eugene Holloman ran for 131 yards and Griff Yancey for three scores.

Landers ran 29 yards for a touchdown on JMU’s first series, scored from one yard early during the second quarter for a 20-7 JMU lead and had

a four-yard scoring run with 0:50 left in the first half. He hit Mike Caussin on a five-yard scoring pass during the second period. Yancey had scoring runs of four and 13 yards.

JMU scored on its first series, going 87 yards in four plays, but Towson responded with a four-play, 67-yard scoring drive to lead 7-6.

2008 Review

JMU 31, Villanova 27Bridgeforth Stadium/Zane Showker FieldHarrisonburg, Va. -- Dec. 6

Rodney Landers scored on a one-yard run with 1:38 left to give JMU the playoff win.

Villanova took its only lead, 27-24, on a 13-yard pass from Matthew Szczur to Stephen Pimm with 6:54 left, but Landers led an 11-play, 54-yard JMU drive in 5:16. The series included a 22-yard Griff Yancey rush on fourth and two at the VU 46.

VU then took over on its 20 and drove 21 yards before Chris Whitney was intercepted by Marcus Haywood.

Landers ran 26 times for 143 yards and hit on 14 of 20 passes for 157 yards and three scores. JMU tied its team record with its 12th straight win, and Arthur Moats led JMU’s defense with 11 tackles, including 3.5 sacks.

JMU took a 14-0 lead with Mike Caussin and Bosco Williams catching scor-ing passes from Landers on drives of 70 and 40 yards, the latter set up by a VU fumble.

VU then drove 60 yards in just four plays for a touchdown by Louis Adeyemi at 13:38 of the second quarter. Most of the yards came on a third-and-long pass for 59 yards from Whitney to Szczur. VU took advantage of a fumble to drive 36 yards in eight plays, tying the game on a two-yard Szczur run with 0:37 left in the half.

JMU on the first possession of the final half drove 77 yards with the go-ahead score coming on a 30-yard pass from Landers to Kirby Long. JMU took a 10-point lead on a 23-yard Dave Stannard field goal to cap a 60-yard drive.

VU charged right back to score on a 26-yard Whitney-to-Brandyn Harvey pass.

Montana 35, JMU 27Bridgeforth Stadium/Zane Showker FieldHarrisonburg, Va. -- Dec. 12

Montana forced four turnovers and held off a final JMU drive in the FCS semifinals.

Turnovers made a difference as JMU fumbled twice on kickoff returns to set up a short field for UM. The Dukes also fumbled once and threw an interception on drives within scoring range. JMU had had committed just 12 turnovers in 13 previ-ous 2008 games.

The Dukes lost standout quarterback Rodney Landers to a first-half ankle injury.

Montana led 14-10 at the half and built its edge to 35-17 with 1:06 left in the third quarter.

On the ensuing JMU possession, JMU drove 62 yards to the UM one but couldn’t score. The Dukes got a safety on the next series when a UM punt snap sailed through the end zone.

JMU took possession after the free kick with 8:22 left and drove 57 yards in six plays with Drew Dudzik scoring on an 18-yard scamper and adding a two-point conversion run to get the Dukes within 35-27.

JMU took over on its seven with 2:06 left after stopping UM. The Dukes reached the UM 49 and then had a 14-yard completion. The second-down pass play, however, was nullified by a holding call, and JMU then threw three incompletions.

JMU got a 32-yard Dave Stannard field goal on game’s first series, but UM responded with a 62-yard drive for a 7-3 lead and didn’t trail again.

The Grizzly lead went to 14-3 two plays and 15 yards after JMU fumbled the ensuing kickoff, and UM had a 34-yard third-quarter touchdown drive after scoring on the half’s initial series and again recovering a JMU fumble on a kickoff.

Challace McMillin, JMU's first head coach, confers with a player during the Dukes' first football game in 1972

July 17, 1972Athletic director Dean Ehlers

announced that JMU would start football in 1972 and named Challace McMillin head coach.

JMU played five games, including two with junior varsity teams and

two with military schools. Most of the 1972 team was recruited from the

school’s fall registration lines.

Oct. 7, 197 2JMU lost 6-0 to Shepherd’s junior

varsity in its first game, played on what is now a practice field adjacent to Godwin Hall. The game was to have been played at Harrisonburg High School but wasn’t because of wet conditions. JMU finished 1972 with a 0-4-1 record and without scoring.

Sept. 22, 1973JMU posted its first win, 34-8 over Anne Arundel

(Md.) Community College at Harrisonburg High School. JMU finished the year 4-5, again playing mostly junior varsity and military teams.

Sept. 21, 1974JMU began its first varsity season with a 24-22 win at

Washington and Lee.

Oct. 12, 1974JMU beat Bridgewater 41-13 in the first game at

Bridgeforth Stadium/Zane Showker Field. An astroturf field had been completed during the 1973-74 school year, and temporary seating was used until 1975.

History

An Excellent TraditionJMU Football

JMU winning the NCAA Division I-AA national title in 2004 is the high point in team history and demonstrates the remarkable growth the program has enjoyed since its inception in 1972. Five years later, the JMU program has continued to build on that success, adding three more playoff bids and compiling an overall record of 49-15 since the beginning of the 2004 season.

Now under their fifth head coach, the Dukes have gone from a non-scholarship team recruited through registration lines to a program that has reached the top of the NCAA Championship Subdivision, from playing at a local high school to competing at on-campus Bridgeforth Stadium/Zane Showker Field with an adjoining state-of-the-art support facility, from playing junior varsity and military school teams to competing in the nation’s top FCS league, the Colonial Athletic Association.

JMU has played in the NCAA playoffs eight times since 1990 and nine times overall, beginning in 1987. Several former Dukes have had prominent careers in the National Football League.

Another significant change in the JMU program will begin taking place following the 2009 season when a $50 million-plus expansion project will raise the seating capacity at Bridgeforth Stadium/Zane Showker Field to nearly 25,000 and add numerous crowd-friendly amenities to the stadium complex.

Rapid DevelopmentFootball began at JMU in 1972, and in 1975 the

Dukes were 9-0-1. They were ranked atop the Division III poll in 1976, by 1979 gave scholarships and in 1980 began competing in Division I-AA. After facing few varsity teams for two years, JMU had games with Division I-A foes

Virginia and Virginia Tech in 1979 and 1980. Under Coach Challace McMillin, the Dukes in 1982 beat Virginia on its home field in what always will be one of the more-memorable games in team history.

JMU continued climbing in Division I-AA and reached the NCAA playoffs in 1987 during a 9-3 year under Coach Joe Purzycki. Coach Rip Scherer led the Dukes to the playoffs in 1991 and 1994, and Coach Alex Wood and Coach Mickey Matthews led them to post-season play in 1995 and 1999. All three were in their first years as head coaches during their first playoff appearances.

Matthews’ 2004 national champion-ship team made history by becoming the first Division I-AA team to win three road playoff games in a season, and his teams were back in post-season play in 2006, 2007, and 2008. The 2008 team was top ranked na-tionally from late September through the end of the regular season, was the No. 1 seed for the NCAA playoffs, and compiled an 8-0 record while winning the Colonial Athletic Association championship. The Dukes reached the 2008 national semifinals, hosted three playoff games and had a 12-game winning streak.

While ranked as the co-No. 1 team in the nation in 1976, JMU played in the first Division III game televised by a major network (at Hampden-Sydney). From early in 1975 until early in 1976 JMU put together a 12-game winning streak and an unbeaten run of 13 games.

Long List of HerosThe names of professional standouts Scott

Norwood, Gary Clark and Charles Haley are most often mentioned in discussions of JMU football his-

tory, but the program’s first 37 years have produced numerous standouts.

Quarterback Les Branich and offensive lineman Jeff Adams were early corner-stones and the only players to letter during each of the program’s first four years. Defensive lineman Woody Bergeria and linebacker Dewey Windham received early All-America honors, and tailbacks Ron Stith and Bernard Slayton compiled remark-ably similar statistics during stand-out careers from 1973-76. Both are members of JMU’s Athletic Hall of Fame, as are Bergeria and Branich.

Bergeria and Windham were leaders on the 1975 team that allowed only 75 points, gave up more than seven points in only three of 10 games and shut out three foes. While sharing tailback duties, Stith ran for 2,308 career yards and Slayton for 2,161, and they still are among JMU’s career rushing yards lead-

ers. They combined to run for 44 career touchdowns.

Linebacker Dale Caparaso had three of the top season-tackle totals in team history from 1976-79, and quarterback John Bowers threw for 1,169 yards and four touchdowns and ran for four scores

History


JMU’s unbeaten team of 1975 (9-0-1)

to lead the Dukes to an 8-2 record and a No. 9 national ranking in 1978, their final Division III year. Offensive guard Rick Booth was a 1978 All-America.

Transition PeriodThe move to a scholarship program was chal-

lenging, but the period produced some of JMU’s top performers. Norwood enrolled in 1978 and became one of Division I-AA’s top placekick-ers; Clark arrived in 1980 and gave JMU its best receiver-kick returner combination; and Haley and Warren Marshall, the team’s career rushing leader, arrived in 1982. All four are in JMU’s Athletic Hall of Fame. Marshall, with 4,168 career rushing yards,

completed his career as the top rusher in Virginia

college history,

and he had a team

career-record 20

led JMU in tackles in 1980

and 1981 and finished his

career with 503 stops. Offensive

linemen John Kent and John Blackwell were

All-Americas in 1982 and 1983, re-

spectively, and Haley in 1985 was JMU’s

first Associated Press first-team I-AA All-America. In 1986 Haley, JMU’s career tackles leader (506), became its first NFL draftee (San Francisco, fourth round), and he was the first player to be a member of five winning Super Bowl teams.

JMU’s 21-17 win at Virginia in 1982 came only three years after the Dukes lost 69-9 there and was the springboard to an 8-3 year, JMU’s first winning Division I-AA season. Quarterback Jon Roddy came off the bench to rally the Dukes by Appalachian State in their second 1982 game (39-35 win) and combined with Clark on an 80-yard scoring pass the next week at Virginia. Mike Thurman returned an interception 53 yards for a score at Virginia.

Clark had punt returns of 87 and 89 yards for scores in JMU’s 1983 game at Virginia before the hosts rallied for a 21-14 win. Clark was the sixth player selected in the 1984 United States Football League draft, and after two USFL seasons he joined the Washington Redskins and played for two Super Bowl winners.

Division I-AA SuccessA defense that ranked in the top 20 in I-AA for

six straight years under Purzycki and defensive coordinator Jim Pletcher, who remained at JMU through 1994, was the Dukes’ trademark in the late 1980s and a key ingredient in the team’s 9-3 playoff season in 1987. JMU allowed fewer than 300 yards per game in every season from 1985-90, in-cluding 1987 when it gave up 291.7 yards per game. Linebacker Marty Fitzgerald led the 1987 defense with 128 tackles, and the Dukes were ranked as high as third nationally.

Defenders Shawn Woodson, Steve Bates and Dan Kobosko were key performers in the late 1980s, and offensive guard Carlo Bianchini and punter John Druiett also received All-America honors. Safety Eupton Jackson was named to four All-America first teams in 1990, and offensive tackle D.R. Carlson was an All-America that season.

JMU won at Division I-A Navy in 1989 and 1990 before Scherer, a former offensive coordinator at Arizona and later the head coach at Memphis, led the Dukes to the playoffs in 1991. That 9-4 squad had JMU’s first playoff win -- 42-35 in double overtime at Delaware -- and set a then-team record by averaging 31.9 points behind quarterback Eriq Williams and tailback Kenny Sims.

The 1991 team lost its opener at Division I-A Virginia Tech but then in consecutive games beat nationally ranked opponents in 1990 playoff participant Central Florida 49-31, eventual Southern Conference winner Appalachian State 31-8 on the road, and 1990 playoff participant William & Mary 29-28 on the road.

JMU won at defending Division I-AA champion Youngstown State (52-49) in 1992 and returned to the playoffs in 1994 and 1995 behind most valuable

Coach Challace McMillin (pointing) with assistant Jimmy Prince at JMU’s 1983 game at Appalachian State

player Mike Cawley. The 1994 squad became JMU’s then-winningest team (10-3), had a playoff win and won the Lambert/Meadowlands Cup as the top Division I-AA squad in the East.

The 1995 team was 8-4, went to the playoffs and gave the Dukes the then-best back-to-back years in team history. JMU completed 1995 having been ranked in 23 straight Division I-AA top-25 polls by The Sports Network (22 times in the top 20, 10 times in the top 10).

The Dukes in 1999 tied for the Atlantic 10 title, JMU’s first Division I-AA crown, and returned to post-season play. JMU met Division I-A national runner-up Virginia Tech in its opener and then won seven straight games behind Matthews, The Sports Network’s Division I-AA coach of the year. Matthews also was the Atlantic 10 coach of the year, and JMU’s Curtis Keaton and Chris Morant were the league’s offensive and defensive players

of the year. The Atlantic 10 hon-ors were JMU’s first, and Keaton was selected in the fourth round of the NFL draft by Cincinnati. The season was the first time one program received each of the league’s three major awards during the same year.

Continuing Success

Cawley (6,482 passing yards in three years) erased many of Williams’ (5,356 career passing yards, team-record 7,678 yards of total offense) passing

records while safety Chris Parrott, defensive tackle Tyrone Washington, cornerback Dwight Robinson, center David Bailey, placekicker John Coursey, tight end Ed Perry, wide receiver David McLeod, safety Tony Booth, return specialist Delvin Joyce, Keaton, Morant, linebackers Derick Pack and Derrick Lloyd, offensive lineman Matt Magerko, free safety Tony LeZotte, safety Rodney McCarter, linebacker Kwynn Walton, offensive tackle Corey Davis, linebacker Akeem Jordan, defensive end Kevin Winston, quarterback Rodney Landers, center Scott Lemn, return specialist Scotty McGee, and free safety Marcus Haywood have received more-recent All-America honors.

Cawley threw for 42 touchdowns, and Williams in four years threw for 40 scores and ran for a team-career-record 32. Sims had consecutive 1,000-yard rushing seasons in 1991 and 1992 and had five straight 100-yard rushing games in 1991.

McLeod erased most of Clark’s JMU receiving records and had 158 career catches for 2,899 yards and 21 touchdowns. Macey Brooks had a team-record 14 scoring catches in 1996, and he was drafted by Dallas and Perry by Miami the next spring. Perry was a three-time first-team all-league choice.

Booth was first-team All-America in 1997 and 1998 and was drafted by Carolina. He had a JMU-record eight interceptions in 1997 to rank second nationally and had 122 tackles, the then-third most by a JMU defensive back and the most by any Duke since 1989.

Booth had a team-high 106 tackles in 1998 when JMU also got a standout year from Keaton. In his first JMU year, Keaton ran for 1,064 yards and became the first Duke since 1992 and only the then-third overall to run for 1,000 yards (Marshall had three 1,000-yard years and Sims two). In 1999 Keaton set JMU season records of 1,719 rushing yards, 20 rushing scores, 21 overall touchdowns, 126 points and 2,024 all-purpose yards. He played in the NFL with Cincinnati and New Orleans.

Joyce broke the team record for all-purpose yards in each of his first two years with the Dukes. In combined rushing, receiving and return efforts, Joyce had 1,563 yards in 1997 and 1,741 in 1998. Jay Jones set the previous team-season all-purpose yards mark of 1,515 yards in 1996 when he also set a national Division I-AA mark by returning kickoffs for 268 yards in a 31-27 win at Richmond.

The Dukes in 1998 also got a team-season-record 82 receptions from Earnest Payton, who as a 2000 senior broke McLeod’s team career receptions record (185).

Joyce in 2000 became the first Division I-AA player to reach the 1,000-yard career mark in each of the categories of rushing (1,260), receiving (1,009), kickoff returns (1,902) and punt returns (1,488). He also set JMU records for career all-purpose yards (5,659), punt return yards, kickoff return yards and combined kick return yards (3,390), and he established Divison I-AA career marks for punt return and combined kick return yards. Joyce played with the NFL’s New York Giants.

Pack was the Atlantic 10’s regular-season tackles leader twice. He took part in more than 400 tackles as a Duke, was a three-time first-team All-A-10 choice, and signed with the St. Louis Rams.

Lloyd led the nation in unas-sisted tackles as a 2001 senior and won The Sports Network’s Buck Buchanan Award as I-AA’s top defensive player after finishing the year with 157 stops overall, 7.5 quarterback sacks and five fumble recoveries.

LeZotte was the Atlantic 10’s co-rookie of the year in 2004 when he had a team-freshman-record 144 stops as the national champions’ tackles leader, and he was the league defen-sive player of the year in 2005 and 2007 and its first player to receive All-America honors for four seasons.

In 2006 Akeem Jordan was runner-up for the Buck Buchanan Award as the nation’s top defender and won College Sporting News national defender of the year award, and he became a starter with the Philadelphia Eagles in 2007.

Landers had outstanding JMU seasons in 2007 and 2008, setting team season records for total offense during both. He ran (3,477) and passed

Conference AffiliationJMU was an independent during its

early Division I-AA years but joined the Yankee Conference in 1991 and began competing in the league in 1993.

The Yankee schools affiliated with the Atlantic 10 in 1997 and the CAA in 2007, and

they long have comprised one of the nation’s top leagues. In 1998 member Massachusetts won the Division I-AA title, and Delaware in

2003 and JMU in 2004 gave the league consec-utive crowns. Richmond won the 2008 national

championship. The league has gotten multiple playoff bids for 18 straight seasons, had four first-round winners in the 2004 and 2008 playoffs

and sent a record five teams to the postseason in 2007 and in 2008.

Former JMU CoachesMcMillin, who coached JMU for its first 13 foot-

ball seasons (1972-84), remained affiliated with the university. He completed doctoral studies and was a JMU kinesiology faculty member until retirement. He has been inducted into JMU’s Athletic Hall of Fame and continues to work at JMU in a sports psychology role.

Purzycki (1985-90) has been a banking and business executive in Wilmington, Del.; Scherer (1991-94) left JMU to become the head coach at Memphis; and Wood (1995-98) left JMU to become the quarterbacks coach with the NFL’s Minnesota Vikings. Scherer has coached at Southern Mississippi and Kansas and has been on the staff of the Cleveland Browns, and Wood later was on the coaching staffs of the Cincinnati Bengals and Arizona Cardinals and recently was quarterbacks coach and passing game coordinator at Arkansas.

History

An Excellent Tradition History with 2004 TitleDukes Make

James Madison University football in 2004 made history at the team and national levels.The 13-2 Dukes won the NCAA Division I-AA title with a playoff effort that became increas-ingly impressive as the postseason progressed. JMU took the national crown without host-ing a playoff game, becoming the first Division I-AA team to win three playoff road contests in a season.

JMU won with depth and balance, consistent play that included Division

I-AA’s second-ranked run defense (86.8 yards per game), good special teams play, and an offense that developed a powerful running attack and avoided mistakes. The Dukes won seven games by 10 or fewer points and were particularly effective late in contests.JMU won 17-0 at Villanova after a scoreless first 36 minutes and beat Massachusetts 28-7 after a scoreless first 40 minutes. The Dukes won 24-20 at Maine with a touchdown with 0:48 left and beat Delaware 20-13 with an 87-yard punt return for a score with 3:04 left and by stopping the Hens after they had a first-down-and-goal situation from the three during the next drive.After tying for the Atlantic 10 title (7-1 record), JMU was disappointed not to get a home playoff game. However, the Dukes responded with a 14-13 first-round win at Lehigh and then won by the same score at Furman, driving 74 yards during the final 5:11 for the decisive touchdown.JMU avenged its lone Division I-AA loss of the year by winning 48-34 at William & Mary in a nationally televised (ESPN) Friday night game and beat Montana 31-21 for the NCAA title the following Friday in Chattanooga, Tenn., before another national television audience.The Dukes took a 21-0 lead at William & Mary, fell behind 26-21 early in the second half, and then dominated play with 28 straight points in an 18-minute period.JMU was equally effective during the last three quarters against Montana,

running for 314 yards overall and holding the ball for 36:13 of the game’s 60 minutes.JMU’s play helped Mickey Matthews gain Division I-AA coach of the year honors from the American Football Coaches Association, and several Dukes received major awards.Offensive guard Matt Magerko and free safety Tony LeZotte led the award recipients. Magerko was first-team All-America by Associated Press, and LeZotte was first-team by I-AA.org, second team by Associated Press and Football Weekly and third-team by The Sports Network. Linebacker Kwynn Walton was

third-team All-America by The Sports Network, and safety Rodney

McCarter was a Football Foundation All-America. LeZotte was the Atlantic 10 co-rookie of the year.Tailback Raymond Hines was team MVP after running for 1,038 yards. He became a starter at midseason when Alvin Banks and Maurice Fenner were hurt and became only the fourth Duke to run for 1,000 yards during a season. Fenner (117 yards at William & Mary, 164 vs. Montana) and Banks (88 yards vs. Montana) stepped back into the spotlight for the final two playoff games after Hines was hurt at William & Mary.Quarterback Justin Rascati threw for 2,045 yards and 14 touchdowns, ran for 10 scores, and was intercepted only five times in 283 passes.Team defensive MVP Trey Townsend and Walton as linebackers, LeZotte, and McCarter led the defense. LeZotte set a team freshman record with 144 tackles, Townsend had 102 tackles and five interceptions, McCarter had 92 stops, and Walton had 88 tackles.Cornerback Clint Kent, who had 73 tackles for the season, returned an interception 69 yards for a score at Wiliam & Mary and sealed JMU’s title-game win over Montana with an intercep-tion.

JMU led 27-19 with 7:37 left when Sullivan scored on a two-yard run to cap a 76-yard march.
