70 to 50 is a basketball score 😂😂😂

It's higher-scoring than some college basketball games. A few years ago, in a game between two ranked college basketball teams, VA Tech beat NC State 47-24.

I don't think I've ever seen a game where BOTH teams blocked a punt and returned it for a touchdown. I've seen games with two blocked punts returned for touchdowns ("Punt Bama Punt" comes to mind), but in those games, ONE team blocked two separate punts and returned them for scores.

[@johnpruneda53]

Unless your Michigan, they only threw the ball 12 times today

[@Eliyah-EliyahuYahudah]

@johnpruneda53 That's great, but I'm talking about the landscape of football in general: Every or just about every NFL team had a solid, productive running back to some degree, especially in the mid to late 90s, and early to late 2000s. Nevertheless, those teams utilized those running backs with significance and purpose. Now, every team is in shot-gun formation.

[@jadenheard]

Yeah I like it though it’s exciting

[@adriangalo3813]

I believe it's these younger offense coordinators trying to prove how intelligent they believe they are. If you get 4 yards on a first down yard, that is good thing. You don't have to force the throw.

JMU is absolutely lethal, and the Sun Belt is fortunate to have them. If they stick around, I do believe the Sun Belt will do relatively well with their next media rights deal.
