JMU IN THE PLAYOFFS• JMU is making 16th playoff appearance in 2019, which includes this season being a program-record sixth straight berth.• The Dukes are 17-13 in the playoffs with a pair of national championships - 2004 and 2016. They also advanced to the title

game in 2017, falling just short (17-13 vs. North Dakota State). • JMU has won multiple playoff games in four postseason trips, going 4-0 in both national title runs, 3-1 in 2017’s national

runner-up finish and 2-1 in 2008 when it reached the semifinals. • This is the first time since the 2011 playoffs that JMU was not matched up with a CAA team in the same pod.• The Dukes are 9-4 at home in the postseason, while also going 6-8 on the road and 2-1 in neutral-site games.

THE ROAD TO FRISCO GOES THROUGH FARGO AND HARRISONBURG• After combining to go 23-1 during the regular season No. 1 North Dakota State (12-0) and No. 2 JMU (11-1) have homefield

throughout the FCS Playoffs, needing just three wins each to reach the national title game in Frisco, Texas.• It’s the fourth time JMU has earned a national seed since the field expanded to 24 teams and the fifth time ever. The Dukes

were No. 1 both in 2008 and 2017, No. 2 in 2019, No. 4 in 2016 and No. 5 in 2015.• The winner of JMU and Monmouth faces the winner of No. 7 South Dakota State and Northern Iowa in the quarterfinals.

UNDISPUTED CONFERENCE CHAMPS• JMU went unbeaten in Colonial Athletic Association play, winning the 2019 conference title by two games.• The Dukes have won three outright titles in four years, four overall crowns in five seasons. • Since joining the CAA in 1993 for football, JMU has won seven conference titles, which is tied with rival Richmond. JMU has

eight total in program history, adding in the 1975 VCAA championship as a Division III program.• The Dukes have won the conference outright on four occasions, which is more than any other CAA squad. New Hampshire

and Maine have two outright crowns during the time span and seven others have one.• JMU has also gone 8-0 in CAA play four seasons (2008, 2016, 2017, 2019). It has only been accomplished 10 total times

since 1993, as UNH did it twice (1994, 2014) and four others achieved it once.

HEAD COACH CURT CIGNETTI


Curt Cignetti became the eighth head coach in JMU football history on December 14, 2018.

Cignetti has climbed the ladder throughout a 36-year football coaching career that has included multiple Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) stops and a 67-26 record (.720) in eight years as a head coach, six at NCAA Division II Indiana University of Pennsylvania followed by the last two at Elon.

Most recently, Cignetti paced the sidelines as head coach at Elon, amassing a 14-9 record in two seasons after inheriting a program that went 12-45 in the previous five campaigns. The Phoenix qualified for the FCS Playoffs in both 2017 (8-4) and 2018 (6-5) to attain just the second and third Division I playoff appearances in program history (2009).

The Phoenix achieved a six-win turnaround in Cignetti’s first season, going 8-4 after a 2-9 ledger the year prior. Cignetti was named Colonial Athletic Association Coach of the Year as Elon finished second in the CAA, at 6-2, dropped a tough 28-27 decision to Fur-man in the First Round of the FCS Playoffs and finished 20th in the national rankings.

In 2018, Elon went 6-4 in the regular season before dropping a 19-7 decision at #12 Wofford in the playoffs to finish 6-5. Elon’s other losses came to FBS South Florida and

against three CAA teams that qualified for the playoffs. All three losses also came after inju-ries impacted key performers at quarterback and running back. Elon’s season was high-lighted by the ninth-ranked Phoenix winning at No. 2 JMU 27-24 in October to achieve the program’s first-ever win over an FCS top-five opponent and becoming the first CAA team to beat the Dukes following a streak of 22 straight JMU wins over league foes.

Walking in the footsteps where his father coached for 20 years, Cignetti earned his first head coaching job at IUP and went 53-17 in six seasons with three appearances in the Division II playoffs and four top-25 finishes in the nation-al rankings. The Crimson Hawks went 33-11 in the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference after going 4-10 in the two seasons prior to Cignetti’s arrival. IUP was 4-3 in its three NCAA appearances during his tenure and finished as high as 12th in the 2016 final rankings.

An offensive-minded assistant coach at the FBS level for 27 seasons, Cignetti was an original member of Nick Saban’s first coach-ing staff at Alabama, filling the role of recruit-ing coordinator and wide receivers coach for 2007 through 2010. He was part of a staff that returned the Crimson Tide to national promi-nence, going 12-2 in their second season in 2008 while Cignetti concurrently compiled the nation’s top-ranked recruiting class. Alabama went undefeated as national champions the following season in 2009, the only undefeated final record during Saban’s run in Tuscaloosa, pending the conclusion of the 2018 campaign. Alabama went 10-3 in Cignetti’s final season before he earned his first head coaching job at IUP.

Cignetti joined the staff at Alabama after spend-ing seven seasons (2000-06) as the recruiting coordinator at North Carolina State while also coaching tight ends from 2000-02 and 2005-06 and quarterbacks during the 2003 and 2004 campaigns. NC State qualified for five bowl

games during that time, including the 2002 Gator Bowl, when the team set a school re-cord with 11 victories. One of his last recruits before moving to Alabama was quarterback Russell Wilson, who played at NC State before moving on to Wisconsin as a senior.

The first recruiting coordinator role for Cignetti came during a seven-year stint (1993-99) at Pittsburgh. He also coached the Panthers’ tight ends and quarterbacks at various times under College Football Hall of Fame head coach Johnny Majors. Cignetti began his coaching career as a graduate assistant at Pitt during the 1983 and 1984 seasons and was part of the team’s Fiesta Bowl participant his first year. He coached quarterbacks and receivers at Davidson in 1985 and was the quarterbacks coach at Rice (1986-88) and Temple (1989-92).

A quarterback letter winner at West Virginia, Cignetti is a 1982 graduate of WVU with a bachelor’s degree in business administration. He is married to the former Manette Lawer. Curt and Manette have three children: Curtis John, Carly Ann and Natalie Elise, who was an honorable mention All-American in vol-leyball at IUP.

The sport of football runs deep in the Cignetti family. His father, Frank Cignetti, is a member of the College Football Hall of Fame after playing at IUP and compiling a coaching record of 199-77-1 at West Virginia (1976-79) and IUP (1986-2005). The field at IUP is named in his honor (Frank Cignetti Field @ George P. Miller Stadium). Nick Saban coached under Frank Cignetti before later employing Curt Cignetti at Alabama. Curt’s younger brother, Frank, Jr., was most recently the quarterbacks coach for the Green Bay Packers and has also held positions with the Giants, Rams, 49ers, Saints and Chiefs.

Second-Half Surge Propels #2 JMU Past Chattanooga, 37-14 CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. – Ben DiNucci accumulated more than 300 yards of of-fense and Percy Agyei-Obese turned in a career day on the ground with over 100 yards and two scores to lead second-ranked James Madison to a 37-14 win at Chattanooga on Saturday evening at Finley Stadium. The Dukes closed non-conference play with a 3-1 record, while the Mocs fell for the third straight outing, dropping to 1-3. DiNucci threw 19-of-25 for 264 yards and a touchdown while rushing for 49 more to pace the offense with 313 yards of offense. Agyei-Obese had 19 carries for a career-high 114 yards (6.0 avg.) and a pair of touchdowns, marking his second career game over 100 yards.

Leading 23-14 in the third, Chattanooga was threatening in the red zone before Amos picked off Nick Tiano’s pass inside the five to preserve the nine-point lead. Six plays later, DiNucci connected on a hitch pattern to Polk, who turned and ran for a 48-yard score to extend the lead to 30-14.

ADDITIONAL GAME FACTS• JMU more than doubled up Chattanooga in the total-offense department, gaining 532 yards, to the hosts 245. That included holding the Mocs to just 133 yards

over the final three quarters.• JMU tallied 7.0 tackles for loss, while Chattanooga only had two stops behind the line of scrimmage.• The Dukes finished 8-of-13 on third down, holding UTC to a 4-of-13 mark.• JMU cashed in on all four red-zone trips, while the Mocs were 2-of-3.• Tiano led Chattanooga with 161 passing yards with a touchdown and interception, and no Mocs running back gained more than 27 rushing yards.
