JONESBORO -- James Madison arrived at Centennial Bank Stadium on Saturday afternoon as the nation's No. 8 scoring offense.
Of the seven teams ahead of the Dukes, six were ranked in the top 20. The other was a 4-1 North Carolina team that had scored no fewer than 35 points.
And yet not only did Arkansas State hold the Dukes in check for more than 20 minutes, but the Red Wolves kept them off the scoreboard entirely.
Then, the dams broke.
James Madison scored touchdowns on four of its five ensuing series, overwhelming the Red Wolves and running away with a 42-20 win to move to 5-0 in its inaugural FBS season.
