HARRISONBURG, Va. (AP) — Dae’Quan Scott rushed for 176 yards and 2 touchdowns to lead James Madison to a 34-7 rout of Charlotte on Saturday night.
Scott carried the ball a career-high 35 times, besting his previous mark of 32 which he set in the Dukes’ (3-1) win over Saint Francis a week ago.
Charlotte (2-2) scored just 30 seconds into the game, after recovering a JMU fumble on the opening kickoff, on Matt Johnson’s 8-yard touchdown run. The 49ers, however, wouldn’t score again.
James Madison piled up 522 yards of total offense, including 321 yards rushing, but turned the ball over five times.
