This Saturday they&#8217;ll attempt to silence the vocal minority who claim they&#8217;re over-rated by beating their in-state Rival the Richmond Spiders. As we do before every JMU game, we&#8217;re going to invite you the readers to predict the outcome in the comments. And per usual, the reader who comes closest to predicting the result (winner &amp; score) will win the right to guest post about whatever he or she chooses. But wait, there&#8217;s more. The fine folks behind <a href=\"http:\/\/www.samscornholebags.com\">Sam&#8217;s Cornhole Bags<\/a> have also agreed to throw in a set of purple and gold corn hole bags for the winner. So not only will you get to guest post on your favorite blog, you&#8217;ll get a fancy new set of corn hole bags just in time for your homecoming tailgate.<\/p>\n<p>The Dukes crushed the Spiders last year in former Duke Jace Edwards&#8217; first start at QB. This year&#8217;s Richmond team is vastly improved and has its sights set on a return to the playoffs. They&#8217;ll be without starting QB, John Laub, who injured an ankle in last week&#8217;s 44-40 loss to New Hampshire though. Will Justin Thorpe and the Dukes offense break out and lead the team to a big win on the road? Or will UR avenge last year&#8217;s loss to JMU and secure bragging rights in the capital city?<\/p>\n<iframe src=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/like.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fjmusportsblog.com%2F%3Fp%3D4527&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>After a hectic weekend that saw many of the top FCS teams in the country suffer losses, the JMU Dukes find themselves as the #2 ranked team in the country.
