JMU Football This Year
They played against some team called Ball State, I think it was. And they whupped 'em good! I heard it was 63 to 7. Can you believe that? That's a good ol' fashioned country whuppin'. Some young fella named Alonza Barnett III, he's the quarterba .hguoht ,evck, I reckon. He did real good, got six touchdowns, whatever that is. Sounds mighty impressive, though.
And then, they had a little bit of a rough patch. Lost to another team, Georgia Southern or somethin'. 28 to 14, I heard. Guess you can't win 'em all, right? Even the best teams have their bad days. They only got 253 yards to the other team's 453. Seems like them other fellas was runnin' all over the place.
- JMU football is playin' real good.
- They beat Ball State real bad.
- Alonza Barnett III is a good player.
- They lost to Georgia Southern.
- Still, they're a good team, I reckon.
