Arkansas State managed just 20 net yards on 27 carries.

  In just one week, James Madison had two defensive tackles leave the team and retire from the sport of football, leaving what was one of the deepest parts of the roster thin. First it was redshirt freshman Tyler Negron, a reserve nose guard that provided depth along the defensive front on Aug. 19. But earlier this week the Dukes' defensive line lost a bigger piece, redshirt senior Tony Thurston, who logged 45 tackles and nine tackles for a loss last fall, hung his cleats up.

JMU head coach Curt Cignetti said he was excited about the defensive line's depth entering fall camp and that both of the departures surprised him. "I thought we had a lot of depth, a lot of guys that could become players," Cignetti said. "It takes a big commitment and sacrifice and if your heart's not totally into it … it takes a special breed to play this game. That's a tough loss from a depth standpoint, but next man up." That next man up for the Dukes is a handful of interior linemen, including redshirt sophomore James Carpenter, redshirt sophomore Jordan Funk, Marshall transfer Jamare Edwards and Rutgers transfer Jamree Kromah, who was recruited to JMU as a defensive end. Though the Dukes have a quartet of interior defensive linemen ready to play against Middle Tennessee on Sept. 3, Cignetti said the depth at that spot is a concern. - Daily News-Record

  With only 10 days remaining before UConn kicks off the football season at Utah State, coach Jim Mora and the Huskies are moving from fall camp to game preparation. But as the Huskies shift focus, the team is preparing for the season without a significant piece. Mora said Wednesday that redshirt sophomore receiver Cam Ross broke his foot and "it appears that he is going to be out for the season." Ross caught a pass before his left foot was caught in an awkward position during Saturday's scrimmage. A year ago, he broke his right foot in Week 2 against Holy Cross and missed the remainder of the season. "You just feel so bad for the kid, it happened to him last year and he worked so hard to get back," Mora said - CT POst

  Wednesday's UConn football media availability started out with sour news; another tough break for the Huskies. Head coach Jim Mora shared that Cam Ross, a redshirt sophomore who was expected to be a top receiver for the team, broke his foot and will likely miss the 2022 season. Ross' injury came during Saturday's situational scrimmage. He caught a pass, his foot landed in awkward position and he rolled over it. Ross limped off the field Saturday, and sat in the back of the end zone with his left foot in a boot on Wednesday.

Ross broke his right foot after two games last season and was working his way back. "You just feel so bad for the kid," Mora said, "it happened to him last year and he worked so hard to get back. He was looking good, I think he was feeling confident, and it is his other foot. Obviously our prayers are with him and they'll get that thing fixed. Knowing Cam and his mindset, and his toughness and determination and character, he'll just put the work in and he'll come back and give it another go. So really tough deal for for him and certainly a blow for the team." Mora noted that Ross had developed into a strong leader for the team, and believes he will have a positive impact whether he plays or not. - Hartford Courant

  There's no debate when it comes to the No. 1 wide receiver at James Madison. Redshirt senior Kris Thornton returns for the Dukes after a breakout campaign in 2021, when he earned First Team All-CAA honors and set a JMU single-season record for receptions. "He's so important," said JMU redshirt senior safety Sam Kidd. "Obviously he's a deep threat. His speed...that's so significant." Thornton hauled in 83 receptions for 1,097 yards and 13 touchdowns last fall. He made his JMU debut in the 2021 spring season when he registered 26 receptions for 428 yards and three touchdowns across eight games during a modified season amidst the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Manassas, Va. native is now the clear leader of a position group that lost superstar Antwane Wells Jr. (2021: 1,250 yards, 15 TDs) to South Carolina via the transfer portal while Scott Bracey (2021: 20 receptions, 299 yards) exhausted his eligibility. "I think the main thing that changed for me was trying to be more of a leader this year," said Thornton. "I was kind of a leader last year but trying to really lead the younger guys and the new people coming into our room this year. That's really my main thing that changed with my role." Thornton, who played two seasons at VMI and sat out the 2019 campaign after transferring to James Madison, is the only JMU player to earn preseason all-conference honors from the Sun Belt. He was named to the Preseason All-Sun Belt First Team offense. "It's been a long ride, I know that," said Thornton. "I came in 2017 at VMI and now six years later, I am finishing up...I have played two seasons at JMU and I am ready for this season coming up." - WHSV.com
