Bye week for GSU to prepare. Meanwhile, seventh straight game for JMU.  Pass defense for JMU got shredded by Georgia Southern. 343 through the air, 3 scores for Max Johnson who has zero mobility. They produced 0 sacks on him, they’re down to 89th in pass rush, and they only created pressure on 26.8% of Johnson’s dropbacks. Cam Brown has taken all of two sacks this season, 7th in QBR among G6 QBs, and he looked solid against an P4 defense, throwing for 282 yards while facing UCF. They pumped in 30 points in that defeat. Up to 16th nationally in EPA/pass, and they have balance with 5.4 yards per carry from their top two backs McCrary Jr and Wiggins.  I also like that Ga State is methodical, 108th in seconds between plays. They completely boxed up Quinn Henicle and Devin Roche last week, 1.9 yards per carry for ODU. And that’s how to slow JMU, start with your run defense. Make them beat you in known passing situations. Cam Coleman doesn’t strike fear into me.
