After a week one loss that everybody knew was coming, the real competition starts for the Virginia Cavaliers football team. Now they must face a JMU team that finished 8-3 last year and led the Sun Belt Conference in their first season as an FBS team.
The Dukes are coming off a 38-3 win over FCS foe Bucknell. Bucknell finished 3-8 last year, so that’s not particularly impressive. JMU is good, don’t get me wrong. But they were blown out by Louisville in their lone Power-5 game last year. Then again, they also crushed ODU, a team Virginia squeaked by 16-14.
