CONWAY, S.C. — Alonza Barnett III threw three touchdown passes, Jobi Malary ran for 154 yards a score, and No. 20 James Madison completed an unbeaten regular season with a 59-10 victory over Coastal Carolina on Saturday.

JMU (11-1, 8-0) will host Troy in the Sun Belt title game Friday night at Bridgeforth Stadium. If the Dukes win that, they would retain hopes of qualifying for the College Football Playoff.

“What I’m proud of is just how quickly they came together and their ability to play and act as a team, and to be undefeated in Year 2 in Sun Belt play is obviously a feather in a lot of these guys’ cap,” coach Bob Chesney said. “That’s something that nobody can take away from you for the rest of your life.”

The Dukes have won 10 straight.
