James Madison vs Appalachian State Game Preview

Why James Madison Will Win

Okay, James Madison. Just how real are you?

The Dukes are going to bring the defense that can hold up, and the offensive balance will keep things moving. App State will survive – and it’s not going to take a last second play to do it – but it’s going to be a grind in a fun battle.
