2014 JMU Football - 69 Dukes make history 2004 JMU James Madison University football in 2004 made history at the team and national levels. Results The 13-2 Dukes won the NCAA Division I-AA title with a playoff JMU 62, Lock Haven 7 effort that became increasingly impressive as the postseason pro- JMU 17, Villanova 0 gressed. JMU took the national crown without hosting a playoff West Virginia 45, JMU 10 game, becoming the first Division I-AA team to win three playoff JMU 31, Hofstra 21 road contests in a season. JMU 28, Massachusetts 7 JMU won with depth and balance, consistent play that included JMU 24, Maine 20 Division I-AA’s second-ranked run defense (86.8 yards per game), JMU 26, Richmond 20 good special teams play, and an offense that developed a power- JMU 41, VMI 10 ful running attack and avoided mistakes. The Dukes won seven JMU 20, Delaware 13 games by 10 or fewer points and were particularly effective late in William & Mary 27, JMU 24 contests. JMU 31, Towson 17 JMU won 17-0 at Villanova after a scoreless first 36 minutes and JMU 14, Lehigh 13 beat Massachusetts 28-7 after a scoreless first 40 minutes. The Dukes won 24-20 at Maine with a touch- JMU 14, Furman 13 down with 0:48 left and beat Delaware 20-13 with an 87-yard punt return for a score with 3:04 left and by stopping the Hens after they had a first-down-and-goal situation from the three during the next drive. JMU 48, William & Mary 34 JMU 31, Montana 21 After tying for the Atlantic 10 title (7-1 record), JMU was disappointed not to get a home playoff game. However, the Dukes responded with a 14-13 first-round win at Lehigh and then won by the same score at Furman, driving 74 yards during the final 5:11 for the decisive touchdown. JMU avenged its lone Division I-AA loss of the year by winning 48-34 at William & Mary in a nation- ally televised (ESPN) Friday night game and beat Montana 31-21 for the NCAA title the following Friday in Chattanooga, Tenn., before another national television audience. The Dukes took a 21-0 lead at William & Mary, fell behind 26-21 early in the second half, and then dominated play with 28 straight points in an 18-minute period. JMU was equally effective during the last three quarters against Montana, running for 314 yards over- all and holding the ball for 36:13 of the game’s 60 minutes. JMU’s play helped Mickey Matthews gain Division I-AA coach of the year honors from the American Football Coaches Association, and several Dukes received major awards. Offensive guard Matt Magerko and free safety Tony LeZotte led the award recipients. Magerko was first-team All-America by Associated Press, and LeZotte was first-team by I-AA.org, second team by Associated Press and Football Weekly and third-team by The Sports Network. Linebacker Kwynn Walton was third-team All-America by The Sports Network, and safety Rodney McCarter was a Football Foundation All-America. LeZotte was the Atlantic 10 co-rookie of the year. Tailback Raymond Hines was team MVP after running for 1,038 yards. He became a starter at mid- season when Alvin Banks and Maurice Fenner were hurt and became only the fourth Duke to run for 1,000 yards during a season. Fenner (117 yards at William & Mary, 164 vs. Montana) and Banks (88 yards vs. Montana) stepped back into the spotlight for the final two playoff games after Hines was hurt at William & Mary. Quarterback Justin Rascati threw for 2,045 yards and 14 touch- downs, ran for 10 scores, and was intercepted only five times in 283 passes. Team defensive MVP Trey Townsend and Walton as linebackers, LeZotte, and McCarter led the defense. LeZotte set a team freshman record with 144 tackles, Townsend had 102 tackles and five inter- ceptions, McCarter had 92 stops, and Walton had 88 tackles. Cornerback Clint Kent, who had 73 tackles for the season, returned an interception 69 yards for a score at Wiliam & Mary and sealed JMU’s title-game win over Montana with an interception.

2014 JMU Football - 71 2014 JMU Football - 72 marchi“And now,n presentingg ‘Virginia’s Finest,’ The James Madison University Marching Royal Dukes!” royal dukes This familiar announcement begins each exciting halftime as one of America’s premier college marching bands takes the field. From humble beginnings in 1972, the Marching Royal Dukes have quickly become recognized as one of the top college march- ing band programs in the country. With a membership made up primarily of non-music majors, the band is one of the largest and most visible student organizations on campus. As a class, the MRDs rehearse five days a week, perform at all home football games, travel to away game to support the Dukes, and also play an active role in community events and perform extensively around Virginia and the Mid-Atlantic region as an exhibition band for band contests and other events. During their short history, the band has established an impressive resume of performances and awards. The MRDs have performed at NFL games in Pittsburgh, Baltimore, and Washington. In 1983, they were the featured halftime show for the NFC title game between Washington and Dallas. Additionally they have performed for Walt Disney Productions, and have made several appearances as the premier band for the Richmond Christmas Parade. In 1988 and 1991, they were the featured exhibition at the Bands of America Grand National Championships in Indianapolis, Indiana. In 1994 the John Philip Sousa Foundation named the Marching Royal Dukes the recipients of the Sudler Trophy, a prestigious award known as “the Heisman Trophy of college marching bands.” In 1997 and 2001, the MRDs were featured in the inaugural parades for Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush. Additionally in 2002, 2006, and 2010 respectively they have performed at the inauguration ceremonies for Virginia Governors Mark Warner, Tim Kaine, and Bob McDonnell. Over the past forty-two years the band has established a strong tradition as ambassadors of the university and community. The Marching Royal Dukes have taken five trips abroad: their first European tour in 1997, where they performed for the closing ceremonies of the 700th anniver- sary of the Grimaldi Family in Monaco. In December 2000, the MRDs performed at a New Year’s celebration in Athens before an audience of more than 500,000. In December of 2003 and 2006, the band was the feature band for the New Year’s celebration in Dublin, Ireland. The MRDs took their fifth tour abroad in 2010, with a trip to London and Paris where they performed in the 25th Anniversary London New Year’s Day Parade. In 2014 they will tour Italy and perform at the Vatican for the Rome New Year’s Day Parade and Festival. The MRDs have made three appearances in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in 2001, 2008, and 2013. Scott Rikkers is the Director of the Marching Royal Dukes. Chad Reep is an Assistant Director of the Marching Royal Dukes and Director of the JMU Pep Band. J.R. Snow is an Assistant Director of the Marching Royal Dukes and the Visual Coordinator. Steve Cash is the Drumline Instructor and Percussion Coordinator, Michael Overman is the Front Ensemble Instructor, and Hunter Desper is the Percussion Assistant. Carly Philp, Erin Fairchild, and Laura Milford are the Colorguard Instructors. Julia Urban is the coach of the JMU Dance Team, the “Dukettes”. The JMU band program is also staffed by Connie Driscoll, Administrative Assistant, Drew Ross, Graduate Assistant, and Elizabeth Keene, Band Assistant. The 2014 Marching Royal Dukes Drum Majors are Lindsey Martin, Ciara Middleton, John Nye, Nick Pope, and Nathan Saxman. And now, presenting “Virginia’s Finest,” the James Madison University Marching Royal Dukes!
