JAMES MADISON QUICK FACTSJMU TO FACE THE ORIGINAL MADISON UNIVERSITY: Colgate was known as Madison University from 1846 until 1890, when the name was changed to recognize nearly 70 years of continuous involvement by the Colgate family. The school is located in Hamilton, N.Y., in Madison County.

SCOUTING COLGATE: The Raiders enter the second round of the FCS Playoffs with an 8-4 record after defeating New Hampshire 27-20 on the road in the first round, their sixth win in a row. Colgate went 6-0 in the Patriot League, earning the conference’s automatic bid.

Colgate led the Wildcats 27-6 with 12:16 left in the game and held off a 14-point New Hampshire rally in the fourth quarter. The Wildcats were in good position after recovering a fumble in Colgate territory, trailing 27-20 with 4:29 to play, but Tyler Castillo’s interception secured the win for the Raiders. It was the first playoff win for Colgate since 2003 when they made a run to the national championship game, eventually losing to Delaware.

The Raiders lead the Patriot League with 34 sacks, 24 of which come from the starting defensive line of Pat Afriyie (9.5), Brett Field (8.0) and Alex Campbell (6.5). Afriyie leads the Patriot League and is fourth in the nation with five forced fumbles. Kyle Diener leads the team with 109 tackles, third-best in the Patriot League.

Sophomore tailback James Holland is the leading scorer on the Colgate offense, tallying 78 points on 13 rushing touchdowns. He found the end zone four times in the win over New Hampshire. The Raiders have four rushers with over 450 yards on the season. Holland (532) is joined by Jake Melville (837), Demetrius Russell (544) and John Wilkins (448). The latter three all have over 1,000 career rushing yards.

Colgate is led by Dan Hunt, who is in his second season as head coach where he has compiled a 13-11 record after going 5-7 during his inaugural season at the helm. He was named 2015 PL Coach of the Year after leading the Raiders to a 6-0 mark in conference play this season.

JMU EARNS NO. 5 SEED, FIRST ROUND BYE: James Madison was idle for the first week of the FCS playoffs after it earned the No. 5 seed and a bye. It is the first time since the expansion to 24 teams that JMU earned a national seed and a first-round bye.

JMU was one of two CAA squads to earn a national seed as Richmond was given the No. 7 spot.

CO-CHAMPS OF THE CAA: The Dukes captured their fifth conference title in program history on Nov. 21 after finishing in a three-way tie with William & Mary and Richmond at 6-2 during the CAA slate. It was JMU’s first CAA crown since the 2008 season. JMU also won a pair of Atlantic 10 titles (1999, 2004) and one in the Virginia Collegiate Athletic Association (1975).

DUKES EIGHTH IN STATS MEDIA POLL, SIXTH IN COACHES: The Dukes concluded the regular season ranking eighth in the STATS FCS Top 25 and sixth in the FCS Coaches Poll while garnering the No. 5 seed for the FCS Playoffs.

Richmond (12/11) and William & Mary (14/13) also ranked in the top 15 of both polls while New Hampshire, Towson and Villanova received votes. The Dukes also ranked eighth in both the NCAA Simple Rating System and the Gridiron Power Index.

SETTING OFF FIREWORKS EVERY WEEK: The JMU offense is moving at a pace unmatched in program history this season. Through 11 regular-season games, the Dukes have gained 6,047 yards of total offense (549.7/game), scored 493 points (44.8/game) and picked up 313 first downs (28.5/game), all on pace for single-season program records. On Sept. 26 at SMU, the Dukes scored on five of their nine drives in the second half and racked up a program-record 729 yards on 85 plays, besting the previous record of 713 set back on week one against Morehead State. With the 604 yards of offense at Elon on Oct. 17, JMU has gained 600+ yards in five games during the 2015 campaign.

ONE OF THE NATION’S BEST: JMU leads FCS nationally in two categories this week: total offense (549.7) and third-down conversions (55.3%). The Dukes also rank second in both scoring (44.8) and first downs (313), fifth in completion percentage (66.6%), sixth in rushing offense (284.4) and seventh in red-zone offense (90.3%).

Individually, Cardon Johnson ranks seventh in FCS with 6.9 yards per carry. On the defensive side of the ball, Andrew Ankrah is third with 0.45 forced fumbles per game and eighth with 0.95 sacks per game. Rashad Robinson ranks third with three fumble recoveries while Taylor Reynolds is seventh with 1.5 pass defends per outing.

GAME 12 n COLGATE RECORD n 9-2 (6-2 CAA)

LEE HEADLINES ALL-CAA TEAMS: Vad Lee was voted the 2015 CAA Player of the Year last week to cap off his career at JMU. Lee’s Offensive Player of the Year was the 16th major conference award ever by a JMU player as he became the third player in history to earn the top offensive player and first since Rodney Landers in 2008. Lee, a three-time CAA Player of the Week, was one of the nation’s top offensive players this season, ranking first in total offense (375.5) and completion percentage (68.3%), third in point responsibility (21.8) and fifth rush yards per carry (7.5). He also led the CAA in passing touchdowns (21) and yards per play (8.6). He passed for 2,190 yards and 21 touchdowns while rushing for 814 yards and eight scores to finish his senior campaign with 3,004 total yards offense and 29 total touchdowns.

The Dukes put double-digit players on all-conference teams for the first time since 2012 and the 10th time in the program’s Division I history, which dates back to 1993.

Joining Lee on the All-CAA First Team were Brandon Ravenel (WR), Mitchell Kirsch (OL), Andrew Ankrah (LB) and Taylor Reynolds (CB). Four Dukes were recognized on the All-CAA Second Team in Cardon Johnson (RB), Deane Cheatham (TE), Alex Mosley (DL) and Raven Greene (S). Gunnar Kane (P) was also named to the All-CAA Third Team.

RAVENEL A TOP-10 RECEIVER ALL-TIME AT JMU: Brandon Ravenel made continues to move up the receiving ranks at JMU after a solid month of November. He ranks eighth all-time with 111 receptions and 1,496 receiving yards while also ranking eighth on the single-season receptions list, with 53.

BROWN AND RAVENEL GAIN CAA WEEKLY AWARDS: Jordan Brown was named CAA Defensive Player of the Week and Brandon Ravenel was named CAA Special Teams Player of the Week for the final week of the regular season.

Brown had six tackles and an interception for a touchdown while Ravenel returned the opening kickoff for a score and tacked on a game-high six receptions for 54 yards and a touchdown.

TOP GUNNAR: Field position has been crucial down the stretch for JMU and JMU punter Gunnar Kane has played a vital role in that factor. After pinning Delaware inside the 20 on all five punts (42.6 per punt), which included three inside the five yard line, Kane had five more boots against Villanova, four inside the 20 (44.4 per punt), and a pair over 50 yards (long 59).

STAYING DISCIPLINED IN NEWARK: The Dukes committed a season-low two penalties for just 10 yards on Nov. 14 at Delaware. The previous low was seven for 67 yards against Towson on Oct. 10. This was also the first time in 2015 that JMU did not allow a first down off a penalty.

RICHARDS NAMED ACADEMIC ALL-DISTRICT: Dominick Richards was voted to the CoSIDA Academic All-District Team last week and he moves to the national ballot for the Academic All-America program. The Dukes have five AAAs in the history of the program and he could be the first since Mark Kiefer in 1989.

SCHOR STRONG IN FIRST CAREER START: Sophomore Bryan Schor made his first career start on Oct. 31 at William & Mary, and although the team came out on the losing end, Schor proved he can run the up-tempo offense just like teammate Vad Lee did.

Schor guided JMU to 41 points on the road after passing 17-for-27 for 227 yards and a touchdown while rushing for 64 yards and a score. Looking back at previous first starts for quarterbacks, Schor threw for more yards than the previous 10 quarterbacks did in their first starts at JMU, dating back to the 2001 season.

VAD LEE WILL GO DOWN AS ONE OF THE GREATS IN JMU HISTORY: It was announced on Oct. 27 that Vad Lee underwent season-ending foot surgery but he will be remembered as one of the greats in JMU football history.

In just his 21st game last Saturday, Lee tied JMU’s all-time passing touchdown record with 51 scores through the air. Upon the time of his injury, Lee led the nation in total offense per game (375.5) while also ranking second in point responsibility (174), third in passing yards (2,190), fourth in passing TDs (21) and rush yards per carry (7.5), fifth in completion percentage (68.3%) and eighth in rushing yards (814).

Lee finishes his career as one of the most illustrious players in JMU football history. In addition to being tied for the career passing touchdown mark, he ranks second with 7,292 yards of total offense, third with 5,652 passing yards and 446 completions and fourth with 705 pass attempts.

He also owns JMU’s single-game records for total offense (565 at SMU, 9/26/15), passing yards (433 at Richmond, 11/15/14), touchdown passes (5 at Towson, 10/10/15) and rushing yards (276 at SMU, 9/26/15). His performance at SMU stands alone in the history of Division I football, both FBS and FCS, as he became the only player ever to pass and run for 275 yards in the same game.

INSIDE THE POLLSJMU DELIVERS AN EPIC COLLEGE GAMEDAY ON THE QUAD: More than 12,000 fans converged on the Quad on Oct. 24 for ESPN’s iconic pregame show, College GameDay. ESPN also saw record crowds for the bus arrival on Thursday evening and ESPN’s College Football Live Friday afternoon.

Following the broadcast, host Rece Davis told the crowd that JMU delivered the biggest GameDay they ever had after the show went off the air. Lee Corso dressed up as James Madison and delivered a powerful speech on the steps of Wilson Hall which ended with him putting Duke Dog’s head on to close out the show.

JMU’S TEMPO AFFECTS MORE THAN THE DEFENSE: The Dukes lead the nation with 609.5 yards of offense per game and the tempo has set the tone for JMU’s offense. But opposing defenses haven’t been the only people affected by this style of offense.

Running out of a no-huddle offense, JMU attempts to run player 15-18 seconds, on average, after the previous play was completed. When moving the ball quickly down field, chain crews are still moving by the time the next ball is snapped, officials scurry to get in position and many times, JMU is set before the referee resets the ball to be snapped. At Towson, the TU marching band had a difficult time knowing when to start and stop the playing of music and commentators aren’t able to get much analysis in between plays when the offense is pretty effective.

KHALID, VAD AND CARDON BEEN RUNNING WILD: JMU has rushed for more than 2,900 yards through nine games and the tandem of Khalid Abdullah, Vad Lee and Cardon Johnson have all shared success in the rushing attack, combining for 2,487 yards and 29 touchdowns.

With Lee sidelined for the rest of the season, Abdullah and Johnson will be more heavily relied on. Johnson has gained a team-high 869 yards (96.6/gm) with nine touchdowns while Abdullah has run for 804 yards and has scored a league-best 12 TDs on the ground. Johnson leads the Dukes with 6.9 yards per carry while Abdullah averages 5.0 per rush.

LEE HONORED AGAIN, TUTT GETS FIRST CAA NOD: Vad Lee was named CAA Offensive Player of the Week for the third time this season while Charles Tutt picked up his first conference award as the Special Teams Player of the Week.

Lee was 24-for-32 for 278 yards as he threw for five touchdowns, tying JMU’s single-game record, and added 30 rushing yards for 308 yards of total offense. Tutt scored his first career touchdown with a 92-yard kickoff return for a score and averaged 51 yards in his three returns.

MAN OF STEELE: Linebacker Gage Steele turned in a career performance to be named CAA Defensive Player of the Week on Oct. 5. Steele tallied 18 total tackles against Stony Brook, tying his single-game best set back in 2013. He also had 1.5 tackles for loss in the win. Steele is the third Duke to land a Defensive Player of the Week honor this season.

VAD TO THE BONE: Quarterback Vad Lee was named STATS FCS National Offensive Player of the Week for the first time in his career after his record-setting performance at SMU. On the ensuing Monday, Jeannine Edwards and an ESPN crew came to campus to feature the signal caller for SportsCenter’s “Big Man on Campus” feature, which aired on Tuesday, Sept. 29 on ESPN.

GAME 12 n COLGATE RECORD n 9-2 (6-2 CAA)

CONFERENCE AWARDS FOR LEE AND ANKRAH: It came as no surprise when Vad Lee and Andrew Ankrah were named CAA Football’s Offensive and Defensive Players of the Week following JMU’s win over FBS opponent SMU on Sept. 26 in Dallas.

Lee became the first player in Division I history to ever surpass 275 passing and rushing yards in the same game as he broke JMU’s single-game records for total offense (565) and rushing yards (276). He had five total touchdowns, including the game-winning throw to John Miller with only 27 seconds left.

Ankrah had a career day on the defensive side of the ball, accruing four sacks, five tackles for a loss, seven total tackles and forcing two fumble, one of which stalled a long SMU drive in JMU territory.

DUKES TRIUMPH AT FBS FOE FOR FIFTH TIME EVER: In JMU’s 48-45 upset win at SMU, the Dukes scored on five of their nine drives in the second half and racked up a program record 729 yards of offense on 85 plays (8.6 per play).

Trailing 45-41, JMU marched 75 yards and scored the game-winning touchdown with 27 seconds left on a John Miller 17-yard catch in the corner of the end zone.

Vad Lee produced 565 yards of total offense himself, shattering his own school record of 478 set last season at Villanova. The senior signal-caller also rushed for 276 yards on 20 attempts, breaking Warren Marshall’s school rushing record of 264, set against William & Mary on Oct. 25, 1986. In all, Lee accounted for five touchdowns on the night, picking up a pair on the ground and adding three through the air on a 20-for-33 night that saw him rack up 289 yards. Defensively, sophomore linebacker Andrew Ankrah led the way for the Dukes, tallying 3.5 sacks and a pair of forced fumbles on his way to six solo tackles, tying a career-high. Sophomore cornerback Jordan Brown racked up nine tackles, including four solo stops and a pair of tackles for loss for JMU.

KHALID AND CARDON HAVE CAREER DAYS VERSUS ALBANY: Both of JMU’s running backs notched career-highs in yardage against the Albany defense, which entered the weekend yielding just 166 yards per game on the ground. Cardon Johnson racked up 134 yards on 17 carries, while Khalid Abdullah carried the ball 28 times for 143 yards, the most of any JMU player in a single game this season.

ROBINSON COLLECTS CAA SPECIAL TEAMS PLAYER OF THE WEEK AWARD: Freshman cornerback Rashad Robinson was named the CAA top specialist following his week-two performance in the Lehigh win.

He produced his first collegiate touchdown when he scored on a 34-yard fumble recovery on a failed punt play for JMU’s first defensive score of the season. He also recovered a surprise onside kick in the second half, marking the first time a CAA team successfully converted an onside kick.

CHEATHAM A PRIME TARGET AGAINST LEHIGH: Senior tight end Deane Cheatham pulled in eight catches for 118 yards, both career highs, as the Dukes racked up 349 total passing yards against the Mountain Hawks. This performance tied his single-game reception total set last season at Charlotte and broke his single-game yards total of 108 at Villanova in 2014.

HEREFORD BREAKS THROUGH IN GAME TWO: Sophomore linebacker Brandon Hereford recorded nine tackles, including five solo stops and a sack, in his first career start for the Dukes. Entering Saturday’s contest, Hereford had only tallied six tackles in his career. At the half against Lehigh, Hereford had already recorded seven tackles.

GAME 12 n COLGATE RECORD n 9-2 (6-2 CAA)

VAD, RAVEN COLLECT CAA WEEKLY AWARDS: Redshirt senior quarterback Vad Lee and junior safety Raven Greene were both honored by the CAA following Saturday’s 56-7 win over Morehead State, as Lee was named Offensive Player of the Week and Greene was tabbed Defensive Player of the Week.

Lee tallied 402 yards of total offense on 297 yards passing and another 105 on the ground, marking the first time in school history that a quarterback had over 250 passing and 100 rushing yards. He produced four total touchdowns, including three in the air, as he paced JMU’s offense to a program-record 713 yards of offense. Lee was also named a College Sporting News All-Star, one of five FCS players in the country to receive the accolade for week one of the season.

Greene, coming back from a season-ending injury, recorded nine tackles (eight solo) while forcing a fumble in the red zone in his first game back after suffering a season-ending injury last September.

CARDON STORMS OUT OF THE GATE: Redshirt-sophomore running back Cardon Johnson rushed for 123 yards on just 14 carries in his first collegiate game after missing last season to injury. Johnson took his first carry through the left side for 33 yards on the Dukes’ first offensive play.

QUARTET HAS BIG FIRST GAME OF 2015: Multiple Dukes notched career evenings on Saturday, led by junior running back Khalid Abdullah, who’s 102 rushing yards marked the first 100-yard performance of his career. Redshirt-sophomore Cardon Johnson (123 rushing yards) and junior wide receiver Dominique Taylor (75 receiving yards) both tallied career bests by virtue of playing in their first Division I contests, while redshirt-sophomore wide receiver Ishmael Hyman posted a career-best 86 receiving yards of his own.

WATCH OUT FOR VAD: Redshirt-senior quarterback Vad Lee proved to be one of the elite signal callers in FCS last season, as he was named a Third Team All-American by the As-sociated Press. This summer, Lee was named a STATS FCS Preseason Second Team All-American while also being recognized on watch lists for the STATS FCS Offensive Player of the Year and CFPA FCS National Performer of the Year.

BREAKING DOWN THE SERIES AGAINST DELAWARE: The series between JMU and Delaware began back in 1983 and this Saturday marks the 23rd meeting between the programs. UD leads all-time 14-8, including an 8-3 advantage in games played in Newark. The Blue Hens have won three in a row with JMU’s last series win coming back on Oct. 31, 2009 - a 20-8 win at then-No. 16 Delaware. The Hens have also won seven of eight against the Dukes at home.

Last time they met, JMU and Delaware combined to score 27 points in the final 8:09 of regulation, including a Vad Lee touchdown run with 20 seconds left, but the Blue Hens scored a touchdown in overtime and converted a goal-line stand on fourth down to clinch a 30-23 win at JMU on Sept. 27, 2014. UD’s Trent Hurley passed for 295 yards and three touchdowns while Wes Hills rushed for 136 in the win. Lee threw for 252 yards and two scores while rushing for 86 and scoring another on the ground.

2014 A RECORD-SETTING SEASON: Last season, JMU’s offense broke numerous school records, including total offense (6,300), passing yards (3,499), completions (286) and passing touchdowns (30). JMU produced the most prolific offense in the CAA with 484.6 yards per game, which ranked 10th in the country. The Dukes ranked 21st in FCS in both passing offense (269.2) and rushing offense (215.5) and boasted the 17th-best scoring team (35.7) in 2014.

Defensively, the Dukes ranked second in the country in turnover margin (+1.08), 12th in total fumble recoveries (14) and 13th in sacks per game (2.85). They also had one of their best seasons on record in terms of blocks, ranking sixth in total blocks (7), including a No. 3 ranking in blocked punts (4).

GAME 12 n COLGATE RECORD n 9-2 (6-2 CAA)

PLAYERS VOTE ON FOUR CAPTAINS: A year ago, Everett Withers selected JMU’s captains for his inaugural season, but this year, the script was flipped as the coaching staff tasked the student-athletes to vote for their choice of captains, who were announced on Aug. 29 following the final practice of preseason camp.

Redshirt seniors Vad Lee, Alex Mosley and Deane Cheatham, as well as redshirt junior Gage Steele were the top four vote getters by their teammates and will serve as team captains for 2015. JMU had seven players who received double-digit votes and 20 players who received at least one vote.

JMU IN SEASON OPENERS: Following its 44th season-opening win, JMU is now 23-20-1 in season openers, dating back to 1972. The Dukes’ last five season-opening losses have all come at the hands of FBS programs and the last defeat to an FCS foe came back in 2002, a 31-28 setback against Hampton. Since that defeat, JMU is 8-0 at Bridgeforth Stadium on the opening week of the season.

JMU is also 33-11 in home openers and have now won 13 straight openers at Bridgeforth and 23 of 25.

YEAR TWO OF THE JOURNEY: Head Coach Everett Withers enters his second season at the helm of JMU Football after leading the Dukes to a 9-4 record in his inaugural year. The Dukes went 6-2 in Colonial Athletic Association play, to finish third, and made their first trip since 2011 to the FCS Playoffs, where they hosted Liberty in the first round.

HALEY ENSHRINED TO PRO FOOTBALL HALL OF FAME: Former football All-American Charles Haley became the first James Madison student-athlete to be enshrined into a major professional hall of fame as he took his rightful place into the Pro Football Hall of Fame on Aug. 8 in Canton, Ohio.

JMU’s all-time leader in tackles, with 506, Haley became the first Duke to be selected in the National Football League Draft, where he was taken in the fourth round of the 1986 draft by the San Francisco 49ers. He is the lone player in the history of the game to win five Super Bowl titles, winning two with the 49ers and three with the Dallas Cowboys. He finished his 12-year career with 100.5 sacks, including a career-high 16 in 1990. Haley was twice named the NFC Defensive Player of the Year and won 10 division titles.

Haley was introduced by Edward DeBartolo, Jr., former owner of the San Francisco 49ers prior to his speech to the capacity crowd in Canton. He was one of eight individuals to join pro football’s most exclusive club, as he was accompanied by linebacker Junior Seau, guard Will Shields, running back Jerome Bettis, wide receiver Tim Brown, center Mike Tinglehoff and NFL executives Bill Polian and Ron Wolf.

DUKES IN THE NFL: Four former JMU are affiliated with NFL franchises this season, including two 2014 JMU graduates. Headlining the list is 2009 Buck Buchanan Award winner Arthur Moats, who is currently starting at outside linebacker for the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Earl Watford is the starting right tackle for the Arizona Cardinals and Dean Marlowe is a backup strong safety with the Carolina Panthers. Josh Wells will not play this season with the Jacksonville Jaguars after a season-ending injury during preseason. Daniel Brown was resigned to the Baltimore Ravens’ practice squad a month ago.

PREDICTED SECOND IN CAA: JMU was picked to finish second in CAA Football in a vote by the league’s head coaches, communications directors and members of the media as announced on July 28 in Baltimore at CAA Football Media Day. In addition, a pair of Dukes were picked to the Preseason All-CAA Team in redshirt-senior tight end Deane Cheatham and redshirt-junior offensive lineman Mitchell Kirsch.

STATE-OF-THE-ART LOCKER ROOM: Following the first week of preseason camp, JMU’s coaching staff unveiled the completed renovations to the football team’s locker room. The upgraded facility consists of new GearBoss custom-made lockers with padded seating, drying fans both in the foot locker and shoulder pad unit, a key pad lock with two outlets and USB ports and purple LED lit panels between each locker.

The room also has new carpeting with a Duke Dog logo in the middle, which has a round overhang over top of it, also featuring the Duke Dog and a first-class Bluetooth sound system with concert-style subwoofers.

CAA FOOTBALL: CAA Football has raised the profile of what was once the Yankee Conference, and later the Atlantic 10 Conference, since the league came under the CAA banner in 2007. Over the past eight years, CAA Football has established itself as one of the nation’s premier FCS power conferences with regard to on-field success, television exposure, marketability and the achievements of its student-athletes in the classroom, in the community and at the next level.

While CAA Football officially began March 1, 2007, its roots date back more than 60 years. On December 3, 1946, the Code of the Yankee Conference went into effect. Established as an all-sports conference for the New England land grant colleges, the six charter members included Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont. Upon the formation of Division I-AA football in 1978, the league disbanded all sports except for football. Delaware and Richmond were admitted to the conference in 1986, Villanova was added in 1988 and James Madison, Northeastern and William and Mary joined the league in 1993.

The Atlantic 10 assumed operational control of the conference from 1997-2006, with Hofstra becoming part of the league in 2001 and Towson joining the group in 2004. UAlbany and Stony Brook were welcomed to the league in 2013, prior to the addition of Elon last year.

GAMES 1-2 RECAPSDUKES SET TOTAL OFFENSE RECORD IN 56-7 TRIUMPH OVER MOREHEAD STATEHARRISONBURG, Va. - JMU racked up a school-record 713 yards of total offense on Saturday evening, as the Dukes opened the 2015 season with an emphatic 56-7 victory over Morehead State at Bridgeforth Stadium/Zane Showker Field. Redshirt-senior quarterback Vad Lee paced the JMU offense, going 18-for-25 through the air for 297 yards and three touchdowns. Lee also added 105 yards on the ground, combining with redshirt-sophomore running back Cardon Johnson (123 yards) and junior running back Khalid Abdullah (102) to mark the first time in program history that three Dukes have broken the century mark on the ground. Defensively, redshirt-junior linebacker Gage Steele led the Dukes with a team-high 10 tackles (6 solo), while junior safety Raven Greene had a team-best eight solo tackles (9 total) to go with a forced fumble in the red zone. Lee scored on a pair of 66-yard plays for JMU, taking a quarterback draw down the left sideline in the second quarter to put the Dukes up 14-0 before finding redshirt-soph-omore wide receiver Ishmael Hyman for a third-quarter strike down the middle that gave JMU a 42-7 lead and marked Lee’s final play of the evening. JMU scored the first 21 points of the game before the Eagles made it 21-7 with a 1-yard run from quarterback Austin Gahafer with 3:01 to play before halftime. Madison found the end zone on the last drive of the first half and first drive of the second half to make it 35-7 and put the contest out of reach. The Dukes, who are now 23-20-1 in season openers and 33-11 in Bridgeforth Stadium openers, picked up more than 300 yards both passing and rushing for the first time since a win over Lock Haven on Sept. 2, 2000.

DUKES ROLL TO 55-17 WIN OVER LEHIGHHARRISONBURG, Va. - JMU scored on seven of its first nine drives as the Dukes rolled to a 55-17 victory over Lehigh on Sept. 12 at Bridgeforth Stadium/Zane Showker Field. They tallied 618 yards of total offense, their second consecutive game with more than 600 yards, as they improved to 2-0 this season. The Mountain Hawks, falling for the third straight time to JMU in the series, dropped to 1-1 on the year. Redshirt senior quarterback Vad Lee posted his first 300-yard passing game of the season to lead the JMU offense, going 24-for-31 for 334 yards and a touchdown through the air and adding 50 yards and a touchdown on nine carries. Redshirt senior tight end Deane Cheatham was also stellar in his second game back from injury, catching eight passes for 118 yards, both career highs. The JMU rush defense turned in its second consecutive standout performance, holding the Lehigh offense to just 70 yards on 40 carries, an average of 1.8 yards per carry. The Dukes held Morehead State to just 52 rushing yards last week, marking the first time since Nov. 9-16, 2013 (New Hampshire, 86 yards/Stony Brook, 90 yards), that JMU has held an opponent under 100 yards for two straight games. Redshirt junior linebacker Gage Steele paced the defense, racking up 13 total tackles, including five solo stops and a sack. Sophomore linebacker Brandon Hereford also recorded a career-high nine tackles and a sack in his first start with the program. The Dukes’ running backs also had their second productive week in a row, as both junior Khalid Abdullah and redshirt sophomore Cardon Johnson found the end zone twice. Abdullah tallied 95 yards on just 14 carries, while Johnson ran for 74 yards on 12 carries. JMU scored its first touchdown just 2:34 into the game, when Johnson took a 13-yard swing pass into the end zone to cap an 8-play drive. After Lehigh immediately responded with a 72-yard touchdown pass to running back Dom Bragalone that tied the game at 7-7, the Dukes scored on five straight possessions to take a 38-7 lead before halftime and put the game out of reach.

GAMES 3-4 RECAPSSTRONG SECOND HALF LIFTS NO. 12 DUKES OVER ALBANY, 42-28

HARRISONBURG, Va. - No. 12 James Madison bounced back from a slow first half to roll to a 42-28 win over Albany in a Colonial Athletic Association football game on Saturday afternoon at Bridgeforth Stadium/Zane Showker Field. The Dukes racked up 340 yards of total offense after the break to outscore Albany 28-14 in the second half and move to 3-0 (1-0 CAA) for the first time since the 2010 campaign. The Great Danes fell to 1-2 (1-1 CAA) with the loss. Dominance on the ground was once again the story for JMU as the Dukes barreled to 350 yards rushing on the day. Junior running back Khalid Abdullah (143 yards, 28 carries) and redshirt sophomore running back Cardon Johnson (134 yards, 17 carries) did the lion’s share of the work, with senior quarterback Vad Lee chipping in 72 yards on 15 attempts. In the first half, Lee threw four interceptions and lost a fumble but came back after halftime to complete 11 of his 15 passes for 155 yards with three touchdowns to help JMU finish with 625 yards of total offense. After the teams went into halftime tied at 14-14, the JMU defense needed just four plays to force a punt on Albany’s opening possession before the Dukes scored on four straight possessions to go up 42-28 and put the contest out of reach. This marks the first time in program history that the Dukes have gone over the 600-yard mark in three consecutive contests, as JMU posted 713 yards against Morehead State and 618 over Lehigh. JMU also picked up 40 first downs on the afternoon, marking a new program record. The previous record was 38, set versus St. Francis (Pa.) on Sept. 1, 2012.

NO. 9 DUKES TRIUMPH OVER FBS FOE SMU IN 48-45 SHOOTOUTDALLAS, Texas - Senior quarterback Vad Lee capped a historic night with a 17-yard touchdown pass to sophomore wide receiver John Miller with 27 seconds on the clock to lead the No. 9 James Madison football team to a 48-45 victory over FBS foe SMU on Saturday evening at Gerald J. Ford Stadium. The win moved JMU to 4-0 (1-0 CAA) for the first time since the 1978 campaign and dropped SMU to 1-3 on the year. The Dukes, who led by 10 on two occasions, fell behind 45-41 with 2:04 to play after a pair of touchdown drives from the Mustangs. After a touchback on the ensuing kickoff, the Dukes used eight plays to march 75 yards in just 1:37. Lee, who went 5-for-6 on the drive and accounted for all 75 yards of total offense, put the finishing touch on the evening when he found Miller on an inch-perfect corner route that put JMU on top for good with 27 seconds on the clock. After a pair of SMU gains brought the Mustangs to midfield, a final desperation heave was batted down by junior Domo Taylor and the Dukes clinched their fifth-ever win over an FBS team and first since a 21-16 victory at Virginia Tech on Sept. 11, 2010. In all, the Dukes scored on five of their nine drives in the second half and racked up a program-record 729 yards on 85 plays. Lee tallied 565 yards of total offense himself, shattering his own school record of 478 set last season at Villanova. The senior signal-caller also rushed for 276 yards on 20 attempts, breaking Warren Marshall’s school rushing record of 264, set against William & Mary on Oct. 25, 1986. In all, Lee accounted for five touchdowns on the night, picking up a pair on the ground and adding three through the air on a 20-for-33 night that saw him rack up 289 yards. Defensively, sophomore linebacker Andrew Ankrah led the way for the Dukes, tallying four sacks and a pair of forced fumbles on his way to seven solo tackles, tying a ca-reer-high. Sophomore cornerback Jordan Brown racked up nine tackles, including four solo stops and a pair of tackles for loss for JMU.

GAMES 5-6 RECAPSNO. 6 DUKES DOWN STONY BROOK 38-20 TO MOVE TO 5-0

HARRISONBURG, Va. - The No. 6 James Madison football team tallied more than 500 yards of total offense for the fifth consecutive game on Saturday, as the Dukes bested Colonial Athletic Association foe Stony Brook, 38-20, on a rainy afternoon at Bridgeforth Stadium/Zane Showker Field. With the win, JMU moved to 5-0 (2-0 CAA) for the first time in its 44-year program history, while the Seawolves fell to 2-2 (1-2 CAA) with the loss. In all, the Dukes piled up 519 yards of total offense, including 294 on the ground, and saw three different players rush for more than 80 yards on the day. Junior running back Khalid Abdullah led the way, carrying the ball 17 times for 114 yards to record his third 100-yard rushing effort of the year. Abdullah also tacked on a pair of touchdowns, giving him a Football Championship Subdivision-best eight on the season. Redshirt sophomore running back Cardon Johnson ran for 87 yards and a touchdown on 15 carries of his own, while senior quarterback Vad Lee carried the ball 18 times for 91 yards and a score. Lee also went 19-of-29 through the air, despite the weather, throwing for 225 yards and a touchdown without turning the ball over. The JMU offense kept up its blistering pace in the first half of the contest, scoring touch-downs on four consecutive drives and racking up 392 yards, 221 of which came via the run game, before halftime. The Dukes converted eight of their 11 third-down chances through the first two quarters. Junior linebacker Gage Steele paced the JMU defense on the day, racking up 18 total tackles to tie his career best, including six solo stops and 1.5 tackles for loss. Junior cor-nerback Taylor Reynolds played stout defense on the outside, intercepting a first-quarter pass that marked the only turnover for either team on the afternoon and breaking up five passes in all.

SECOND HALF BUOYS NO. 5 DUKES OVER TOWSON, 51-30TOWSON, Md. - Fifth-ranked James Madison used a 27-13 scoring advantage in the second half to close out a 51-30 victory over Towson in Colonial Athletic Association action on Saturday afternoon at Johnny Unitas Stadium. With the victory, the Dukes moved to 6-0 (3-0 CAA) for the first time ever, while the Tigers dropped to 2-3 (0-2 CAA) on the year. JMU has now won a program-record 13 straight regular-season games, dating back to Oct. 4, 2014. After a first half that saw JMU possess the ball for just 8:23 and tally a season-low 219 yards, the Dukes flipped the switch after halftime, piling up 264 yards, including 125 on the ground, to finish with 483 yards of total offense (278 pass, 205 rush). The contest turned JMU’s way midway through the third quarter, after Towson picked up a nine-yard touchdown pass to cut JMU’s lead to 27-23. Freshman cornerback Charles Tutt fielded the ensuing kickoff at his own 8-yard line, snuck through a hole and sprinted 92 yards for the Dukes’ first kickoff return for a touchdown since Dejor Simmons’ 100-yard return versus Richmond on Oct. 12, 2013. Ahead 34-23, JMU didn’t look back, scoring touchdowns on the next two possessions, eventually pushing the score to 51-23 before the Tigers picked up a late score with less than five minutes left to complete the game’s scoring. Redshirt senior quarterback Vad Lee paced the Dukes’ offense, going 24-for-32 for 278 yards through the air and tying JMU’s single-game record with five passing touch-downs. Lee has thrown for 17 passing scores in 2015, already tied for the sixth-highest single-season total in program history. Junior running back Khalid Abdullah continued his stellar season, carrying the ball 25 times for a game-high 131 yards, while junior wide receiver Domo Taylor caught a pair of first-quarter touchdown passes to stake the Dukes an early lead. The Dukes’ defense dug in after the first half as well, yielding just 90 yards to TU, including just 16 on the ground, in the second half. After Towson converted six of the 10 third-down attempts in the opening half, JMU allowed just one conversion on five tries after the break.

GAMES 7-8 RECAPSNo. 5 JMU SHUTS OUT ELON, 51-0, FOR SEVENTH STRAIGHT WIN

ELON, N.C. - No. 5 James Madison (7-0, 4-0 CAA) posted its largest road margin-of-victory in program history on Saturday in a 51-0 shutout of Colonial Athletic Association Football foe Elon (2-5, 1-3 CAA) at Rhodes Stadium. The Dukes’ second consecutive 50-point performance on the road pushed them to their seventh straight win this season and they have now won a record 14 consecutive regular-season games dating back to last season. JMU eclipsed 600 yards of total offense for the fifth time this season with 604 total yards, including 406 yards rushing. The run game was led by redshirt sophomore running back Cardon Johnson, who rushed for a career-high 165 yards and two touchdowns on the afternoon. His longest run of the day was an 80-yard rush for a touchdown, also a career long. Johnson also made his first career fumble recovery when he secured a muffed punt. Of the Dukes’ 51 points, 17 came off of Elon’s three turnovers. Redshirt junior cornerback Taylor Reynolds picked off Elon’s Daniel Thompson twice and both resulted in touchdown drives of 80 yards or longer. Despite a run-heavy game, redshirt senior quarterback Vad Lee still passed for 198 yards, completing 16 of 22 attempts, to go with two touchdowns. He passed to nine different Dukes, including seven with single distances of at least 10 yards in length. Junior running back Khalid Abdullah matched Johnson’s two touchdowns with two scores of his own, finishing with 75 yards. Freshman running back Trai Sharp tallied 73 yards and a touchdown on just six rushes, including a 64 yarder on his first career attempt. The Dukes scored touchdowns on six of their first seven possessions, averaging a starting field position of their own 32-yard line. The Phoenix entered the red zone just three times in the contest and were forced into 3-and-outs on four occasions as the JMU defense limited them to 289 total offensive yards. The previous largest margin-of-victory on the road was a 42-3 win at Villanova on Nov. 13, 1993. This marks the first shutout for the Dukes since a 56-0 win over Hofstra on Oct. 4, 2008, and first road shutout since a 17-0 win at Villanova on Sept. 18, 2004.

NO. 4 DUKES FALL TO NO. 11 RICHMOND IN 59-49 SHOOTOUTHARRISONBURG, Va. - No. 11 Richmond tallied three consecutive touchdowns spanning the third and fourth quarters to take a two-score lead and withstood No. 4 James Madison’s late push as the visitors claimed a 59-49 Colonial Athletic Association football shootout on Saturday evening at Bridgeforth Stadium/Zane Showker Field. Richmond, now 6-1 (4-0 CAA) after the win, scored 31 points after halftime to pull ahead of the Dukes, who fell to 7-1 (4-1 CAA) with the loss. A Homecoming crowd of 26,069 fans established a new Bridgeforth Stadium record attendance. It was the most points in the UR-JMU series and also a record for combined points (108), breaking the previous record of 101 set back in 1992 in a JMU at Youngstown State matchup (W, 52-49). The two teams combined for 1,305 yards of total offense, including 782 yards through the air. After a wide-open first half that saw the teams go into the break tied at 28-28, Rich-mond scored on all five of its second-half drives to keep the potent JMU offense at bay. Redshirt senior quarterback Vad Lee racked up 418 yards of total offense, passing for 294 yard and two scores and running for 124 yards and a career-high three rushing touchdowns, in another stellar performance before being forced out of the game with an injury in the fourth quarter. Lee’s second touchdown pass of the evening was the 51st of his career, tying him with Justin Rascati for the most in program history. Sophomore quarterback Bryan Schor stepped in admirably, completing 4-of-6 passes for 73 yards and a touchdown and rushing for 18 yards and a score, including a powerful 12-yard run on 4th-and-2 that allowed the Dukes to cut Richmond’s lead to 49-42. It was the first two touchdowns of his career. Redshirt sophomore wide receiver Ishmael Hyman notched his first career 100-yard performance, catching six balls for 101 yards. Junior wide receiver Rashard Davis grabbed four catches of his own, racking up 91 yards and a pair of scores, including a 71-yard strike late in the second quarter that put the Dukes on top, 28-25.

Defensively, redshirt junior linebacker Gage Steele led the way, tallying 12 tackles and four solo stops. Junior safety Raven Greene posted his second 10-tackle game in three weeks on the evening, racking up 11 tackles (five solo) and a pass breakup.

GAMES 9-10 RECAPSTRIBE RALLIES FOR LAST-MINUTE, 44-41 WIN OVER JMU

WILLIAMSBURG, Va. - Tailback Kendell Anderson scored on a two-yard touchdown with 44 seconds left in an offensive shootout to lift No. 16 William & Mary to a 44-41 win over No. 9 James Madison in Colonial Athletic Association football action on Saturday evening at Zable Stadium. JMU controlled the contest much of the way, with W&M taking its first lead of the game at 37-34 with 7:24 to play in the fourth quarter. The Dukes responded immediately, however, going 75 yards over 10 plays that spanned just 2:12 before junior running back Khalid Abdullah plunged into the end zone from a yard out to put JMU back on top, 41-37. W&M got the ball back with 5:12 to go and picked up five first downs on an 84-yard drive, with Anderson taking a handoff off-tackle to put the Tribe on top for good. JMU tallied 460 yards of total offense, including 233 on the ground while the Tribe amassed 469 yards of offense. The Dukes average 6.2 yards per play in the defeat. Sophomore quarterback Bryan Schor performed admirably in his debut as a starter, going 17-of-27 through the air for 227 yards and a touchdown, while rushing 15 times for 64 yards and another score. Redshirt sophomore running back Cardon Johnson posted his fourth career 100-yard rushing effort, carrying 17 times for 134 yards and a touchdown. Junior wide receiver Rashard Davis notched a career game of his own, racking up 125 yards on four catches, all in the first half. The Dukes’ offensive effort marked the first time that the Tribe had allowed more than 40 points since a Nov. 10, 2012 contest again Old Dominion, a stretch spanning 32 games. Defensively, sophomore safety Marcell Johnson paced the Dukes a season-best with 11 total tackles, including seven solo stops, while sophomore linebacker Kyre Hawkins racked up a career-high nine solo tackles. His 10-tackle performance was the second time this year he reached double-digit stops. Junior safety Raven Greene made the defense’s biggest play of the day, stepping in front of a first-quarter pass and taking the interception 35 yards for a score. The touchdown marked JMU’s first defensive score since then-sophomore Taylor Reynolds ran back a pair of interceptions at Richmond on November 15, 2014.

RAVENEL’S TOUCHDOWN WITH 17 SECONDS LEFT LIFTS DUKES AT UDELNEWARK, Del. – Sophomore quarterback Bryan Schor hit junior wide receiver Brandon Ravenel on a 12-yard touchdown pass with only 17 seconds remaining to lift No. 14 James Madison to a thrilling 24-21 Colonial Athletic Association Football victory at Delaware on Saturday evening at Delaware Stadium. JMU bounced back from two consecutive losses to improve to 8-2 overall and 5-2 in CAA play while the Blue Hens fell to 3-7 and 2-5. The Dukes’ win snapped a three-game skid against UD and the first win in Newark since a 20-8 triumph on Oct. 31, 2009. Delaware held a 21-17 lead late in the fourth quarter when junior safety Raven Greene made a third-down stop just a yard shy of the first-down marker to force a punt. Eric Enderson’s kick went just five yards, giving the Dukes’ offense the ball at their own 49 yard line with 1:05 to go. Schor led the Dukes down the field, hitting junior wide receiver Rashard Davis and junior running back Khalid Abdullah on 23- and 16-yard receptions, respectively, to get to the Delaware 12 yard line. After two incompletions, the Milford, Pa., native found Ravenel in the corner of the end zone, threading the ball through two UD defenders for the game-winning score. Delaware entered the final quarter up 21-14 after Ryan Torzsa had a 41-yard fumble recovery for a touchdown. Redshirt senior kicker Ryan Maglio nailed a 22-yard field goal on the ensuing possession to trim JMU’s deficit to 21-17 with 11:39 left. Schor finished with 18 completions for 193 yards and 65 yards on 17 carries. Redshirt sophomore running back Cardon Johnson led the way for the Dukes on the ground with 98 yards and a touchdown. Davis had five catches for 73 yards. Redshirt sophomore linebacker Kyre Hawkins set a career high with 17 tackles, a game high. Eight other Dukes recorded at least six tackles and the team finished with three fumble recoveries. JMU outgained Delaware 388-317 which included limiting the Hens to only 22 passing yards.

GAME 11 RECAPJMU CLINCHES SHARE OF CAA TITLE WITH 38-29 WIN OVER VILLANOVA

HARRISONBURG, Va. – No. 12 James Madison’s defense returned two turnovers for touchdowns and set up a short drive for a third, and the Dukes scored on the game’s opening kick return, to defeat Villanova for a 38-29 victory Saturday afternoon at Bridgeforth Stadium, earning a share of the Colonial Athletic Association regular-season championship.The Dukes improved to 9-2 overall and 6-2 in the CAA, as they shared the conference crown with Richmond (8-3, 6-2) and William & Mary (8-3, 6-2). It is JMU fifth-ever league championship and the first since 2008. With the loss, the Wildcats saw their season end at 6-5 and 5-3. Villanova was driving in the closing minutes of the fourth but a 77-yard fumble recovery for a touchdown by redshirt junior cornerback Taylor Reynolds shifted momentum and gave the Dukes a 31-21 lead with 3:05 left. On the ensuing possession redshirt sophomore linebacker Andrew Ankrah forced a fumble for Villanova quarterback Zach Bednarczyk and freshman corner Rashad Robinson recovered the loose ball, setting up a short, 16-yard drive, capped off by sophomore quarterback Bryan Schor’s 12-yard touchdown pass to junior receiver Brandon Ravenel with only 2:50 to go, giving JMU a 38-21 lead. JMU finished the game with a +4 turnover margin, which included a pick-six for redshirt sophomore cornerback Jordan Brown and another interception by junior safety Raven Greene, both in the first quarter, as well as the back-to-back fumbles late in the fourth. JMU’s offense struggled throughout most of the first half, but it ended the second quarter with a six-play, 83-yard drive, which was ended on a 41-yard touchdown pass from Schor to junior wide receiver Domo Taylor. That touchdown strike gave the Dukes a 21-7 halftime lead. Villanova responded in the second half with two long scoring drives, ending in one-yard touchdowns by Bednarczyk and Don Cherry. Redshirt senior kicker Ryan Maglio hit a 21-yard field goal in between the VU scores to keep the Dukes ahead 24-21 heading into the fourth. Schor passed 14-of-23 for 171 yards and two touchdowns while junior running back Khalid Abdullah rushed for a team-best 71 yards on 10 carries. Redshirt sophomore linebacker Kyre Hawkins recorded double-digit tackles for the third week in a row with 13 stops and a sack. Sophomore linebacker Brandon Hereford and redshirt junior linebacker Justin Wellons turned in career-high days with 13 and 10 tackles, respectively.

Everett Withers is in his second season as the head football coach at James Madison University. In his inaugural season at the helm of the Dukes, they posted a 9-4 overall record and went 6-2 in Colonial Athletic Association play to finish third after being picked eighth in the 2014 preseason poll. JMU finished the regular season with seven straight wins, six of which came during league play. The Dukes earned a spot in the 2014 NCAA FCS Playoffs for the first time since 2011 and hosted their opening-round game against Liberty. Led by Third Team All-American quarterback Vad Lee, the Dukes’ offense broke numerous school records last season, including total offense (6,300), passing yards (3,499), completions (286) and passing touchdowns (30). JMU produced the most prolific offense in the CAA with 484.6 yards per game, which ranked 10th in the country. The Dukes ranked 21st in FCS in both passing offense (269.2) and rushing offense (215.5) and boasted the 17th-best scoring team (35.7) in 2014. Defensively, the Dukes ranked second in the country in turnover margin (+1.08), 12th in total fumble recoveries (14) and 13th in sacks per game (2.85). They also had one of their best seasons on

record in terms of blocks, ranking sixth in total blocks (7), including a No. 3 ranking in blocked punts (4). Madison had seven players earn All-CAA honors and senior safety Dean Marlowe was selected to play in the East-West Shrine Game. Four players from his inaugural team signed free-agent contracts with National Football League teams: Marlowe (Panthers), Daniel Brown (Ravens), Sage Harold (Chiefs) and Brandon Lee (Seahawks). A 27-year coaching veteran, Withers arrived in the Shenandoah Valley in January 2014 from Ohio State University, where he served as assistant head coach, co-defensive coordinator and safeties coach for the 2012 and 2013 seasons. During his time with the Buckeyes, he was a part of a school-record 24-game win streak and a 24-2 mark overall. In 2012, OSU compiled a perfect 12-0 record and finished No. 3 in the national rankings. The undefeated 2012 slate was only the sixth unbeaten/untied season in school history, during which Ohio State ranked second in the Big Ten with 14 interceptions, and all four starting defensive backs earned All-Big Ten Conference recognition. During his career, Withers has split time between the collegiate and professional coaching ranks, having worked in NCAA Division I for 20 years and in the National Football League for seven seasons. Withers’ collegiate coaching resume includes 11 years as a defensive coordinator, with a vast majority of his time - 17 seasons - spent also coaching the defensive backfield. Prior to accepting his position with Ohio State in December 2011, Withers spent four years at the University of North Carolina. He was promoted to interim head coach at the school in July 2011 and led the Tar Heels to a 7-6 overall record and a berth in the Independence Bowl against Missouri. His first defensive unit (in 2008) ranked eighth in the country with 20 interceptions, a number that was just one off the UNC single-season record.

His 2009 defense was among the nation’s elite, ranking sixth in total defense, 10th against the run, 13th in scoring and 14th in pass defense. His 2010 unit ranked fourth in the Atlantic Coast Conference and 30th nationally. Five players off that team were taken in the NFL draft, including first-round pick Robert Quinn. In his final season in 2011, the Tar Heels ranked 14th nationally against the run. Additionally, Withers’ UNC defenses picked off 71 passes in four seasons. Withers spent one year as defensive coordinator at the University of Minnesota prior to his time at North Carolina. He also has been an assistant coach at the University of Texas (1998-2000; defensive backs), Louisville (1995-97; defensive coordinator/assistant head coach/defensive backs), Southern Mississippi (1992-93; defensive backs/assistant special teams), Tulane (1991; outside linebackers) and Austin Peay (1988-90; defensive coordinator/defensive backs; tight ends/special teams). In the NFL, Withers spent six years (2001-06) as a defensive backs coach with the Tennessee Titans and then-head coach Jeff Fisher, who now holds the same position with the St. Louis Rams. During his tenure in Nashville, Withers was a part of an AFC South championship in 2002 and two playoff berths in 2002 and 2003. He coached All-AFC selections in Lance Schulters (2002) and Adam “Pacman” Jones (2005), as the Titans’ defense thrice ranked in the top five in the NFL in rushing yards against. While he was the defensive backs coach of the Titans, the squad ranked among the top-10 defenses in 2002. From 2002 to 2004, the Titans produced 57 interceptions, the best ever for a three-year span for the franchise, fourth best in the AFC and eighth best in the NFL. The Titans tallied 21 picks in 2004, with 16 coming from the Withers-coached secondary. Withers also spent the 1994 season with the New Orleans Saints as a defensive quality control coach. A native of Charlotte, N.C., Withers attended Appalachian State University and was a four-year letterwinner as a defensive back. He served as team captain in 1984.
