Landers threw for 126 yards and ran for 166 for the Dukes (11-1), who will now play Villanova in the FCS quarterfinals. Eugene Holloman ran for 116 yards and a score, while Rockeed McCarter caught three passes for 51 yards and two touchdowns. Bosco Williams added a receiving score for James Madison.
