Analysis

James Madison had to reset at QB this year after losing Jordan McCloud, and Alonza Barnett looks like he's settled into the system after their 70 point breakout last week.  The previous week, they only scored 13 points against Gardner-Webb, but the James Madison offense hit on all cylinders in the passing and rushing games.  They get a great matchup against a pretty bad Ball State team who gave up 34 to Missouri St, 62 to Miami and 37 to Central Michigan, and as long as we don't get the dreaded let-down spot, I see a big time point total from JMU here.  Ball State ranks outside the Top 130 in key defensive categories, and the other thing that will hep this team total go over is that JMU's defense has been really good outside of the second half of the North Carolina game (which was garbage time) so I see the defense stopping the Ball State offense and giving their offense plenty of possessions to get over this total.  JMU is set up beautifully to have a big season after their 3-0 start so I don't think the coaching staff will let this be a let down spot.  We'll take JMU to hammer Ball State and put up a point total into the 40's.
