With less than 30 seconds left in the football game, James Madison trailed Appalachian State 28-27 at Kidd Brewer Stadium in Boone, N.C.
On the ASU 9-yard line, JMU chose to execute a rushing play on second down instead of a field goal, and redshirt freshman tailback Jamal Sullivan fumbled the ball that ASU recovered to seal its victory.
A similar situation occurred three weeks ago when redshirt freshman tailback Griff Yancey fumbled with two minutes, 15 seconds remaining at Delaware. The Dukes were down by three and in Delaware territory, and that fumble was on JMU's last real drive.
These circumstances call for one question: If Eugene Holloman didn't injure his knee against New Hampshire and played the entire season, what kind of success would JMU have had in the playoffs?

It probably wouldn't have mattered considering JMU calls plays like each one is a practice experiment.
