They are 4-4 overall. There are 3 more games on the schedule, all against CAA foes. The Dukes could close on a hot streak and finish with a very respectable 7-4 record. Things could get worse and they could lose out and finish 4-7. They could finish somewhere in between. One thing is certain, this is not where most fans expected JMU to be back in September.<\/p>\n<p>A lot can change over the next 3 weeks.
