Posted Sep 20, 2024
James Madison at UNC won’t be the passing fest of years past. When the Tar Heels and Dukes square off Saturday, don’t expect a lot of fireworks through the air. Both teams are in the third tier of NCAA stats in passing, JMU is No. 107 and UNC is 111. Conversely, UNC is the 15th best rushing team in college football and James Madison is 54th.
