***OFFICIAL GAME THREAD: Norfolk State at JMU***

[GregMadia]

Kickoff between No. 1 James Madison (2-0) and visiting Norfolk State (0-2) is set for 3:30 p.m., at Bridgeforth Stadium in Harrisonburg. The game will be televised on MASN2.

I'll be heading over to the stadium in a few hours, but wanted to set up this thread. If you guys have any game-related or JMU football-related questions before kickoff, feel free to drop them here and I'll try to answer. I'll also try to keep this thread updated during the game. All game-related conversation stays in this thread.

FIIIIIIIRST

Most important matchup to keep an eye on?

 

[wgpatr]

Thanks @GregMadia. Very excited about tuning in!

 

[ALLTIGER85]

Pretty much have this one in the bag. Need two full quarters to get the non starters more experience entering the next three weeks. Hopefully we can all into halftime with a big enough lead to do just that.

Thanks @GregMadia. Excited to watch my first J-Mad game today. Can you post some pics of the tailgating and atmosphere inside the stadium?

Norfolk states offense against the end zone IYAM. They've yet to score an offensive touchdown.

Is this true, Greg? Are we going to be able to make our score on offense and defense today?

 

[wgpatr]

Is there a Duke Walk we can get some pictures of?

 

[ALLTIGER85]

Is this true, Greg? Are we going to be able to make our score on offense and defense today?

I would say so. With the strength of the the J-Mad offense being the running game and Norfolk States biggest weakness on defense being the running defense we should be able to do whatever we want to do.

Might as well be called the Norfolk Steaks cause we're about to eat them up. Go Mad.

 

[AshleySchaeffer]

they actually have a fantastic tailgating scene...

 

[Harvey Specter]

J MAD, BRO?

 

[GregMadia]

Is this true, Greg? Are we going to be able to make our score on offense and defense today?

It is true. Norfolk State's lone touchdown came on a fumble recovery against Virginia State. They haven't scored an offensive touchdown yet, but they are starting true freshman quarterback Juwan Carter for the first time today. He was the state's 5A Offensive Player of the Year at Highland Springs HS (Richmond) last fall. Carter played a bit in NSU's first two games, so NSU is hoping he can give them a spark this week.

Maybe streaming will work for y'all. It always buffers when I do it so I get impatient and move on to other things.

 

[MomentInTheSun]

Will Greg be roaming the sidelines or eagle eyeing it up in the BOX?

[L I G E R]

I'm torn in this matchup.

Of course, I bleed Gold and Purple but I live in Norfolk, VA.

Think I'll abstain from this one.

Just arrived at Bridgeforth Stadium. JMU tight end Jonathan Kloosterman is listed behind Nick Carlton on today's depth chart. Kloosterman will play today in his first day back from a two-game suspension.

He is going to unleash the beast!

What's the weather like at beautiful Bridgeforth Stadium this fine Saturday afternoon @GregMadia? It's a bit humid here a few hours down the road in EC, MD, but the clouds are starting to roll in.

It's warm and humid here too. Mix of sun and clouds.

Looks like wide receiver Ishmael Hyman is out today. Nothing official from JMU, but Hyman isn't dressed for game. He's wearing shorts and has right leg wrapped.
