James Madison-Virginia Tech, Live: Hobbling JMU Giving No. 13 Hokies A Fight

In Blacksburg on Saturday afternoon, massive underdog James Madison is putting a scare into 13th-ranked Virginia Tech. JMU just scored on a touchdown run late in the third quarter to bring the score to 16-14 in favor of the Hokies.

Quarterback Drew Dudzik has led the Dukes on Saturday with 126 passing yards, as compared to VT quarterback Tyrod Taylor's 89. [Edit: an earlier version of this story incorrectly stated that Dudzik was JMU's backup.]

In Virginia Tech's first possession after the JMU touchdown, Tech's Tyrod Taylor threw an interception. Hold on. We may be in for a big surprise here.
