In a contest that had the electric feel of a national championship game, a lot of purple-clad James Madison fans had their plug pulled out once Appalachian State started out devastatingly efficient on offense in the first half. After runningback Robert Welton - playing for injured runningback Devon Moore - punched in a 2 yard touchdown to give the Mountaineers a 21-0 lead, sold-out Bridgeforth Stadium in Harrisonburg, Virginia seemed pretty somber except for the cheering fans clad in black and gold.
If those purple-clad fans left this battle between the two last teams to win national championships, however, they would have missed out on one of the comebacks of the ages. It was a game that ended up living up to its billing in every possible way despite the hometown Dukes being down by three touchdowns in the first half.
