Does anyone know the 7 players suspended by JMU? Do they compare to our 5 who were not only starters, but significant starters in most cases. How about the depth of JMU compared to YSU to replace those suspended? Also it appears that the YSU starters were suspended due to testing by the NCAA. Any word on the JMU suspensions and their source of the suspensions. I know that most of this is conjecture since all programs do not release names, let alone reasons and sources of suspensions.
5 of our 7 players out were occasional back ups at most. We did lose one of our top receivers, and our leading tackler for the year. Certainly players we would like to have, but those are two positions we had plenty of depth. Those players were both in rotations....
The difference our offense poses for you guys is that it is both good passing and running. Before the suspension of our WR you could argue it's both the best running and passing game JMU has ever had.
Are defense struggled at times earlier in the season, especially covering receivers. Your recipe to a win would likely be running the ball, and eating up the clock..... Our pass coverage of late has been pretty good. Ask SHSU.
