The spread is JMU -3.5, odds makers think it will be a good match up.

Depends on who is coaching and who is playing. JMU may be depleted from coaching change and transfer portal.

They won't have many full-time coaches for the bowl game (mostly defensive secondary coaches) from Cignetti's staff.

Airforce by 1000.

Nobody on Airforce is going in the portal

 

[southbottomU]

The JMU team that played in the regular season beats Airforce. However, don't know what JMU is going to be able to put out on the field and how the coaching change will effect them.

 

[MaroonDude]

That is a hot take southbottom.

Hot or not it's accurate.
In fact it's true about most of these bowl games. Transfer portal means that many teams will not have their normal roster. Some players will opt out to protect their draft status. If you're not in the final 4 playoff, many teams just won't be the same team that played during the regular season.

Unfortunately correct.

 

[MaroonDude]

I said hot take because I already made that point. You are my guy tho!

 

[DinwiddieProud]

Has JMU had any key players enter the portal and will not play in the bowl game? Losing the coach is not good, but I don’t think it is necessarily fatal.
