Episode Details

JMU is 5-0 (and 5-0 against the spread) after a 45-17 win over Marshall, and Bennett and Jack are asking the question fans keep raising: why does the offense go quiet after halftime? They break down the success rate by quarter, JMU's top-10 national ranking in game control, and why "playoff brain" might be breaking the fan base.

Plus: George Pettaway's 206-yard breakout, a deep dive into the defense's EPA numbers and explosive plays allowed, what JC Evans' return means for Camden Coleman, and a full Overreaction Corner. Next up is Georgia Southern.
