The BTP staff is back again to throw sandwich pickles at the window and see what sticks best. James Madison comes in to this contest having played for the D1-AA/FCS National Championship each of the past two seasons. Despite having to replace some key pieces, this won’t be your typical roll-over lower-level team.

Hopefully y’all remember the deal, but here it is: Each BTP contributor provides their score prediction below, plus a classic Twitter-esque 140 character-constrained comment on their predicted outcome. Let’s get to it!

Prediction: 37-20 (W)

“A tight game through much of the 1st half before State’s O wears down the undersized JMU D and breaks away. Gallaspy has a huge day.”
