Saturday at Noon on ESPN2 - Toyota Stadium in Frisco, Texas
Bo Pelini has lead the YSU Penguins to their first FCS title game appearance since the Jim Tressel era. They are looking for their 5th national title.
James Madison, who knocked off the 5 time defending national champs North Dakota State in the semifinals, is favored by 7.5

If this was played the week after the semis I would say JM wins this easily. They were absolutely rolling on offense. I wonder if the break hurts that momentum

JM 28 YSU 14 is the final. Much more of a dominant win that the score would imply, as James Madison wins their 2nd FCS national title.
So Ohio's last chance to get a college football title this season comes to an end. Came pretty close on several fronts, with two teams losing in the D3 semis, one losing in the FBS semis, and now another losing in the FCS final.

YSU struggled mightily. Every time it seemed they were getting on the right foot, JM would come up with a great play to shut them down. I thought the venue was less than impressive for a championship game as well.
