Coleman throws 4 TD pass, James Madison cruises past Old Dominion 46-20
JMU scored on its first five possessions and finished with 405 yards as its defense tied a program FBS record with nine sacks.
On Saturday night, quarterback Camden Coleman threw 4 touchdown passes to lead the James Madison Dukes to a 46-20 victory over Old Dominion in the Sun Belt Conference opener at S.B. Ballard Stadium.
The Dukes improved to 4-0 overall, extending their in-state winning streak to 24 games dating to 2016, while the Monarchs remain winless against James Madison since joining the Sun Belt in 2022.
James Madison's defensive front recorded 9 sacks and 12 tackles for loss, while Suffolk native George Pettaway rushed for 110 yards and kicker Morgan Suarez made 4 field goals.
Old Dominion played without starting quarterback Quinn Henicle due to an undisclosed injury, and James Madison's offense stalled late in the first half, resulting in Coleman's first interception of the season.
The Dukes return to Bridgeforth Stadium next Saturday to host Marshall, with Coach Napier noting the team must improve red zone efficiency and defensive coverage details.
