Prediction Contest: JMU vs. Maine
Now the real fun begins. After 3 tune-up games (yes, we’re counting ECU as a tune-up), the Dukes finally get CAA play started this weekend with a home game agains the Maine Black Bears. It’s a team that has given JMU fits in the past, and should provide the toughest test of this season thus far.

JMU in a “struggle” this weekend.
We’ll win by 20+ (too close from comfort right?!) and the game will give the “mob” enough to complain about Sunday morning.
Going with my standard pick:
JMU: Yes
Maine: No
JMU 42 – Maine 17
Dukes pull away in the 2nd half and a late TD from Maine makes it look closer than it was.

Dukes only have a 10 point lead at halftime but wear out the Black Bears in the second half.
27 – 13 Dukes. Week’s emotional toll causes slow start.

I don’t think we have played a defense yet. ECU underestimated our defensive backfield and the ability of our coaches to prepare same group for one on one matchups. The did not even prepare to have to run the ball.
the next two games were what one would expect except when they stacked the box–we couldn’t run. Maine will provide a challenge that we have yet to experience. Their defense is the best we have faced so far. i predict a low scoring game.
Don’t hate me coach H. but our team needs a shock and i think they will get one here: Dukes win but only 17-3.
