The Braves opened the season last Saturday with a 22-21 win over Grambling State in the Port City Classic. JMU showcased a balanced attack (32 pass attempts?!?) in a lopsided 55-7 defeat of St. Francis. The Dukes are battling injuries in the defensive secondary and have a huge game against West Virginia at FedEx looming next week. Will the Dukes pick up with their left off last weekend and steamroll Alcorn State? Or will this be a classic trap game that Alcorn manages to steal?<\/p>\n<p>You know the drill people. Leave a comment letting us know who you think will win and what the final score will be. The person who comes closest to nailing it (winner and score) will get to write a guest post on whatever his or her (although we&#8217;ve still never had a girl win&#8230;c&#8217;mon ladies) heart desires.
