James Madison rallied to defeat Washington State 24-20 at Showker Field, powered by Wayne Knight's explosive 58-yard touchdown run with just over six minutes remaining. The Dukes' defense set the tone early with Justin Eaglin's 37-yard pick-six in the second quarter, while quarterback Alonza Barnett III connected with Braeden Wisloski on a 68-yard bomb to tie the game in the third. Despite a strong effort from Cougars quarterback Zevi Eckhaus, who accounted for two touchdowns, the Dukes' late-game heroics secured the thrilling home victory.
