It's a new era of football for James Madison. In the offseason, head coach Curt Cignetti departed for the Big Ten as he joined the Indiana Hoosiers. Cignetti's replacement ended up being FCS head coach Bob Chesney. As for the Charlotte 49ers, they are coming off a disappointing 3-9 season under Biff Poggi. While one team looks to keep the momentum of last season going, the other looks to begin the season off on a right note in attempts to have their winning record since 2019.
At the moment, the quarterback competition is between Washington transfer Dylan Morris and Wake Forrest transfer Brett Griffis, as well as redshirt sophomore Alonza Barnett III. At the moment, Morris has the edge given a lot more experience and a successful 2021 season as the starter for the Huskies.
Last season, JMU had the second-best overall offense in the Sun Belt which was led by the passing game. The Dukes' run game ranked third-worst in the Sun Belt, however.Last season, the Charlotte offense averaged 17.5 points per game, which was second-worst in the American Athletic Conference. Although Charlotte is bringing back Trexler Ivey, he heavily struggled throwing for four touchdowns and ten interceptions last season in just five starts, but 11 total games of action.
