Back in Top 25, James Madison hopes to avoid another skid that takes them right back out

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 16:31:23 GMT

James Madison is back in the Top 25 after a 7-0 start to the season, and coach Curt Cignetti is confident the Dukes are better prepared for continued success this time.A year ago, after starting 5-0 and being ranked No. 25 for the first time as a Bowl Subdivision program, they promptly lost three straight.“I think last season we were ranked and then went down to Georgia Southern, there was a lot of hoopla around here,” Cignetti said Monday, the day after the Dukes appeared in both the AP Top 25 and the coach’s poll for the first time.“We crossed that bridge a little bit when we played them last time because we were 5-0 again, the same match up, and I thought we handled it much better.”On Oct. 14, this time at JMU’s Bridgeforth Stadium, the Dukes rolled, 41-13.“This team has learned the lessons from the past,” Cignetti said. “It’s very mature.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Los Angeles Rams’ most disappointing loss of the season came with some painful reminders of this team’s self-inflicted shortcomings.Los Angeles (3-4) was beaten in crunch time again Sunday, getting outscored 21-8 in the second half of a 24-17 loss to Pittsburgh. The Rams had a strong second quarter and built a lead heading to the fourth, but the Steelers outplayed Matthew Stafford, Aaron Donald and their supporting cast when it counted.“We didn’t help ourselves,” coach Sean McVay said. “There were a lot of plays that we could have been able to make. There’s always things. Any time that we don’t get it done, it’s a collective effort as a team, but there were a lot of things that we didn’t do to be able to finish this game.”It’s increasingly clear the Rams don’t have the talent to do many of those things.When the Rams gutted their roster in the offseason, they removed several difference-making veterans and elected to play this year with y...
