Looking at the stats on gobison.com Code Green yielded more rushing yards to: SDSU, YSU, WIU, USD, SIU and Nicholls than they did to JMU. Passing yards is where JMU really had traction. Code Green yielded more passing yards to only UC Davis and UNI than they did in the chipper.
Code Green granted JMU zero rushing touchdowns and two passing touchdowns.
EDIT: Also interesting both JMU and NDSU had 45 rushing attempts in the game. NDSU gained 120 more yards than JMU for those attempts.
You know I couldn't find either of those categories so I can't answer in the absolute. However here is my distillation/interpretation of the data (oh man, take this at your own risk): I believe that Code Green was happy to grant the passing game to the Nooch and deny him the run in the hope that he would show to be his good old Colgate self. In the end he did just that.
Plus - those Rapeltons are really good when not lined up opposite Mr. Hayes.
