JMU hosts Weber State in the semifinals of the FCS playoffs at 6:30 p.m. on Saturday in a game televised nationally on ESPNU. JMU advanced to the semifinals of the FCS playoffs for the third time in four years after beating Northern Iowa, 17-0, last Friday in the quarterfinals. The Dukes limited UNI to 114 total yards, including 0 yards rushing, and posted a shutout in a playoff game for the first time ever. It was their 13th consecutive win.
JMU and Weber State met in the quarterfinals of the FCS playoffs at Bridgeforth Stadium in 2017. JMU trailed 28-20 with 3:14 to play, but got a 40-yard TD pass from Bryan Schor to Riley Stapleton with 2:08 to go and a game-tying 2-point conversion. The Dukes’ defense forced a 3-and-out and JMU's Ethan Ratke kicked a career-best 46-yard field goal as time expired for a 31-28 JMU win. Stapleton finished with 8 catches for 189 yards.
It's the seventh consecutive year that at least one CAA team has played in the semifinals of the playoffs.
