JMU Coach Mickey Matthews said earlier this morning West Virginia and its coaches have very little to worry about before Saturday’s game. “The true statement is I’m sure they haven’t even watched our film,” he said.

Eh, I get the point, but it’s not true. WVU has devoured both JMU games and Dana Holgorsen seemed well-versed on JMU under Matthews since 1999.

He knew of big wins and close calls, said the Dukes have done essentially the same things as long as Matthews has been there and even recited JMU’s CAA defensive ranks from 2011.

He didn’t know Dae’quan Scott was possibly out, but was nevertheless respectful of the 1-2 punch Scott and quarterback Justin Thorpe provide, spotlighted a tight end who’s on the field 80 percent of the time, hailed a middle linebacker that’s as good as any Dana has seen on film, yada, yada, yada.

Then came this: “We’re anticipating this being a bigger challenge than what we faced a week ago.”
