JMU’s Miller, Moreland earn CAA football honors

Contributors

jmu logoJames Madison University football freshmen Jimmy Moreland (Royal Palm Beach, Fla./Royal Palm Beach) and John Miller (Columbia, S.C./Spring Valley) were named Colonial Athletic Association Special Teams and Rookie of the Week, respectively, the league announced Monday.

In his second collegiate game, Moreland came around the right side of the Lehigh defense and blocked a game-tying 27-yard field goal attempt to preserve JMU’s 31-28 victory at Lehigh. It was the first blocked for kick for the Dukes since the 2012 season. In addition, Moreland recorded eight tackles on the day, with all eight of them solos.

Miller came off the bench and gave JMU a spark in its battle at Lehigh. He had 16 carries for a game-high 106 yards and one score, part of a 322-yard rushing effort for the Dukes in the come-from-behind win. Miller’s 9-yard touchdown run came less than three minutes into the second half, sparking Madison to 21 points in the final two quarters for the win. Miller’s season-best 36-yard scamper put the Dukes at the Lehigh 28, setting up their final and eventual game-winning score.
