Delvin Joyce says people at the game recognized "To The House" and came up to praise the show. 13.

They note that App State disrespected the JMU logo at midfield before the game. 16. The hosts highlight JMU's statistical dominance, including over 600 yards of offense and App State's 29 total yards through three quarters. 17. They also discuss Joby Mallory's 8 carries for 105 yards and 3 touchdowns, plus Wayne Knight's six receptions for 55 yards. 18.

Listeners who like JMU football breakdowns and former-player commentary will fit this episode. 20. Listeners wanting a tight national recap with no local detail may skip it.
