Here we go. Playoffs. Bridgeforth Stadium at night. Our old pal KC Keeler. It’s all happening. The Mighty Dukes of JMU face off against the Sam Houston State Bearkats. A trip to the FCS Semifinals in on the line. It’s going to be the biggest game in the history of Bridgeforth 2.0. And we want to know how you think it will play out. Leave a comment below indicating who you think will win and what the final score will be. The person who comes closest to nailing it (winner & score). It’s the same as it ever was.
Go Dukes!
Beat SHSU!
Keep Rootin!
The committee took into consideration the teams’ entire body of work, strength of schedule, and quality wins….
Dukes 48
I Wear My Sunglasses At Night 42
52 to 40 JMU. Really, I just threw out some numbers. Top 2 scoring offenses. I give the edge to JMU with the home crowd and a better D.
Offensive juggernaut with not much D or special teams comes into Bridgeforth undefeated. Bob Trott’s D holds them. I’ve seen this movie once before, but I hear the remake is better. Gimme:
63-27 DUKES!
JMU 52
SHSU 28
Need the fans to be loud and proud again this week, regardless of whether the band is allowed to play between plays
55-27 Dukes, After not making the top plays highlight reel for his impressive run, Gage Steele goes bearcat hunting and takes revenge.
JMU – 65
SHU – 35
I think the offense will overpower their defense and the defense will bend but not break.
Home field crowd will be the x-factor. Man I wish i could get there.
Good guys – 38 Texas teabags – 28
Dawgs 52
cats 38
JMU 42
SamH 38
JMU 45 SHS 24
It’s killing me we cannot get there Friday night…the UNH was amazing and it was like I was back in college. My throat is still a little sore from all the screaming every time they came up to the line but I digress.
JMU 55-SHS 35
JMU – 45

JMU – 51
SHSU – 49
They *will* score on us. They’re too good not to. But all we need is one big defensive or special teams play to turn the tables, and I think we have it in us.
I was going to predict JMU would win 52 to 49. But then I remembered it would be 22° with a slight wind at kick off. Hardest thing to do when passing is throw and catch the freezing cold leather football. Madison’s run game will be the difference.
JMU – 42
SHU – 27
49-35 Dukes. I’d be more worried if they were a run-heavy offense with as cold as it’ll be on Friday night.
64-31. Sam Houston has a terrible defense and both teams have good offenses so I think its going to be a shoot-out but since we have a good defense we will come out on top.
70-35 Dukes 🙂
JMU 80

Leaving work (Raleigh, NC) right this second to drive down to the Days Inn before walking over to Bridgeforth and watching my Dukes continue on their season of destiny and earn a birth in the Final Four.
GO DUKES!
