James Madison rushed its way out of Greenville

While East Carolina University had been preparing for its football game against James Madison University, the Dukes’ running back Cardon Johnson looked like he was getting ready for a track meet as he ran away with the game Saturday.

If the Pirates thought it was the JMU quarterback, Bryan Schor, they had to be worried about, they were sadly mistaken. All Schor had to do in Saturday's 34-14 lopsided win was handle the snap, hand it off and get out of the way; Johnson did the rest.

Singlehandedly, Johnson, a redshirt senior, carried his Dukes to an explosive night on the offensive side of the ball.
