MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – Neal Brown expects James Madison to dare him to win Saturday’s season opener through the air.
“I anticipate they’ll load the box,” Brown said during the season debut of his coach’s show on Thursday night. “I think they’ll try to make us win the game throwing it. If they’re watching our personnel, the only people they’ve seen in live action are Martell Pettaway and Kennedy McKoy. They’ll say ‘We’re going to put our hats in the box and make you beat us throwing.’”
The onus will be on quarterback Austin Kendall – making his first college start that’s expected to last longer than one possession – and a green receiving corps.
