Week 1: Upset watch

Posted Aug 30, 2011
James Madison at North Carolina: Mickey Matthews is entering his 12th season at JMU, and interim head coach Everett Withers will be coaching his first game as a head coach. Despite its upset of Virginia Tech last season, JMU didn't exactly thrive in the CAA, finishing with a 3-5 league record and 6-5 overall. The offense was one of the worst in the FCS, and shouldn't present too many problems for the UNC defense. (ESPN.com)
