KEY DRIVE JMU’s wildcat quarterback JC Evans started the second half and led JMU on an 11-play, 71-yard drive ending a 1-yard touchdown pass to Kyi Wright to tie it at 14-all. Western Kentucky turned it over on its next possession when Smith bobbled a backward pass and JMU linebacker Gannon Weathersby recovered it with 6:45 left in the third.
