Not quite sure what you are talking about here. JMU sure did play us tough, and they very much were right there with us. We just happened to pull out a few extra plays on them. JMU stepped it up in the second half. And JMU for sure had enough time to grind it out on their last drive, they had timeouts, and they got down inside the 5 with 8 seconds to go. Their last drive started with a couple run plays mixed in. They gave us one hell of a game and never did seem to quit or get flustered. We just did like we done so many times in the past and just found a way to win.
