JMU Crushes Monmouth As Myriad Program Records Fall

CAA Offensive Player of the Year Ben DiNucci completed 21-of-25 passes for 273 yards and two scores and ran for 66 yards and two more touchdowns, totaling a career-best 339 yards of offense — and his 84 percent completion clip was a school playoff record.
As a team, the Dukes ran for 332 yards, led by Jawon Hamilton and Percy Agyei-Obese, who combined for 185 yards. Agyei-Obese also matched a career-high with three scores on the ground.

John Daka enjoyed a standout performance defensively, leading the team with six tackles, 3.5 TFL, a pair of sacks, a blocked punt, a forced fumble, and a partridge in a pear tree. Daka now owns the Dukes' single-season record for sacks with 14.5.
JMU moves on to the FCS quarterfinal round, as No. 6 Northern Iowa draws the unenviable task of making the trip to Harrisoburg, Va., to face the Dukes. Kickoff is scheduled for 7 PM ET and the game will be available for viewing on ESPN2.
