Story summary

Camden Coleman threw for 171 yards and a touchdown, while reserve quarterback JC Evans added two more touchdowns, leading James Madison University (JMU) to a 27-24 victory over Georgia Southern on Saturday in Statesboro, Georgia. The win secured JMU's spot as one of the first bowl-eligible teams for the 2026 season alongside other early qualifiers like Georgia and Notre Dame. After trailing 10-6 at halftime, JMU took control with Coleman’s touchdown pass to Jeremiah Harrison in the third quarter, followed by Evans' 57-yard connection with Cole Keller, who had 108 receiving yards. George Pettaway contributed significantly on the ground with 151 rushing yards. Despite Max Johnson's strong performance for Georgia Southern (343 passing yards and three touchdowns), JMU’s defense held firm, preventing a potential tying field goal attempt by Blake Ford late in the game. With this win, JMU improved to an unblemished 6-0 overall record and 3-0 in conference play, joining ten other undefeated teams nationally but remaining the sole one from the Group of 6.
