AMHERST, Mass.(AP) — Jamaris Sanders returned a fumble 38-yards
for seven of James Madison’s 10 points off turnovers in a 17-14
win over Massachusetts on Saturday.

Sanders stripped the ball from Massachusetts’ Tony Nelson to
give the Dukes (5-5, 3-4 Colonial Athletic Association) a 10-0
lead with 1:59 left in the first quarter.

Earlier in the first quarter, Jon Williams recovered a fumble to
give James Madison the ball on the Minutemen (5-5, 3-4) 6-yard
line. Dixon Wright connected on the resulting 20-yard field goal
for a 3-0 lead.

The Dukes, led by Arthur Moats with 11 tackles, including 2.5
for loss and 1.5 sacks, held Massachusetts to 247 yards of
offense and forced three turnovers.

James Madison’s Scott Noble had a career-high 105 yards on 29
carries in the Dukes first win at Massachusetts since 1987.

Tony Nelson rushed for 115 yards on 18 carries for the
Minutemen.
