SMU turned the ball over two times on three fumbles and was 5-for-15 on third down. Three Mustangs had an interception in the game, but the SMU defense gave up 729 yards of total offense to help James Madison win its first game against an FBS team since 2010 (shocking Virginia Tech who was ranked #13). JMU was very successful with the run game, tallying up 440 rushing yards, and found success with lots of slant passes.
SMU was down 10 with five minutes left in a game that looked all but over against the James Madison Dukes. Then the Mustangs executed an incredibly efficient five-play, 72 yard drive in 66 seconds to cut the lead to three. Not to be outdone, the special teams recovered an onside kick that led to a go ahead touchdown to put them up by 4. JMU put together an eight play, 75 yard scoring drive capped by a 17-yard game-winning touchdown pass with 27 seconds left.
