An outright Colonial Athletic Association championship is at stake for James Madison on Senior Day 2019. The Dukes carry a nine-game win streak and the only perfect mark in what has otherwise been a chaotic CAA season against a Richmond team needing a big win to stay in the postseason hunt.

The FCS Playoffs don’t begin until Nov. 30, but some Colonial Athletic Association teams will be part of something very close to a playoff game this weekend.

With just two weeks left in the regular season, arguably seven CAA schools are in the FCS playoff hunt. All seven will be in action Saturday on Flo along with New Mexico State looking to get their first win of the season against returning FCS playoff team Incarnate Word. 

Ben DiNucci’s current place quarterbacking a national championship contender wasn’t guaranteed – not as a middle schooler when he first took up the game, nor just a few years ago.
