I&#8217;m disappointed, but am far from discouraged. For me it&#8217;s pretty simple, JMU was just outmatched by UNC, a team with NFL caliber talent at several positions. I didn&#8217;t see anything on Saturday to make me less confident about the Dukes&#8217; chances heading into FCS play. And while there is nothing encouraging about the loss per se, I did see some things that I found encouraging. The QB play was better than I expected it to be for instance, which was encouraging because it has been my biggest area of concern since last season ended. Not everyone sees things the way I do however and several folks were kind enough to share their differing opinions in the comments over the weekend. So Todd and I thought we&#8217;d take a little poll to see if there was any sort of consensus among JMUSB readers. Please take a second and vote to let us know where you stand. And share your opinion in the comments, especially if you disagree with us. That&#8217;s what the comments are for, not just for telling us how great the blog is (although those sorts of comments are always welcome).<\/p>\n<iframe src=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/like.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fjmusportsblog.com%2F%3Fp%3D2914&amp;layout=standard&amp;show_faces=true&amp;width=450&amp;action=like&amp;colorscheme=light&amp;height=80\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"border:none; overflow:hidden; width:450px; height:80px;\" allowTransparency=\"true\"><\/iframe>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[polldaddy poll=5479894]After digesting JMU&#8217;s season opening loss to UNC for a few days, my opinion still hasn&#8217;t changed.
