HATTIESBURG, Miss. (AP) --- JC Evans threw a touchdown pass and added three
rushing touchdowns, and James Madison beat Southern Miss 54-23 on Thursday
night.
Evans made his first start since he suffered an injury in JMU's season-opening
20-13 win over Liberty and was 19-of-26 passing for 251 yards. Camden Coleman,
who had started the last eight games for the Dukes, entered in the fourth
quarter and threw a 26-yard touchdown pass to Michael Scott.
James Madison (8-2, 5-2 Sun Belt Conference) had lost consecutive games for the
first time since back-to-back defeats at Appalachian State and in double
overtime against Marshall to conclude the 2024 regular season.
John White was 17-of-28 passing for 150 yards and a touchdown and had a 3-yard
rushing touchdown for Southern Miss (3-6, 2-3). Kaden Saunders had six
receptions for 122 yards.
Steven Robinson's 2-yard TD run gave the Golden Eagles their first lead with 37
seconds left in the second quarter, but Morgan Suarez kicked his third and
final field goal, a 40-yarder, as time expired to make it 16-14 at halftime.
Evans scored rushing touchdowns of 16 and 2 yards in the third quarter before
he threw a 16-yard TD pass to Seth Cromwell that gave the Dukes a 37-14 lead
with 13:41 to play. Jackson McCarter added 30-yard rushing TD a little more
than 2 minutes later.
