As the dust settles on a sensational season that saw the Dukes win 14 straight games heading into the FCS National Championship game, fans will come to terms with the sobering realization that the days of the Houston-Schor era have come to a close.
JMU head coach Mike Houston and senior quarterback Bryan Schor rose to prominence together in the fall of 2016, as the two helped lead the Dukes to their first FCS title since 2004. In Houston’s first season at the helm of JMU football and Schor’s first year as a starter after taking the reins from Vad Lee, the team went 14-1 — falling only to FBS powerhouse UNC.
