James Madison football is used to playing in big games — just not in May in the Texas heat

“Here in Harrisonburg, we’re hitting mid-70s, low 80s, and its warm, but it’s a different type of warm in Texas,” Bryan Schneider, the James Madison head trainer, said in a telephone interview. He spoke of the forecast temperature, which is 86, called it “a thicker heat,” said it “feels like in the 90s,” and said, “That’s a whole other ballgame,” especially because these Dukes aren’t acclimatized.
