North Carolina endured a disastrous first half on Saturday against James Madison, falling behind 53-21 at halftime.
JMU quarterback Alonza Barnett III completed 14-of-21 passes for 288 yards and three touchdowns. Barnett also rushed for 64 yards and two more scores. Omarion Dollison (two catches, 119 yards, one touchdown) and Cam Ross (6/109/1) both eclipsed the century mark by halftime. The Dukes also had 418 yards through two quarters.
The first quarter alone was a defensive and special team disaster.
And yet JMU led only 25-21 early in the second quarter. However, the Dukes then rolled off four unanswered touchdowns to continue the demolition.
