  "account": "Boone, North Carolina - On October 22, 2026, James Madison University's quarterback Camden Coleman remained on the sidelines during their game against Appalachian State, leaving fans puzzled. JC Evans, a third-year quarterback, took over for Coleman and performed well, completing 8 of 14 passes for 111 yards and running five times for 15 yards. This unexpected development has left fans questioning whether Coleman has been benched or is dealing with an undisclosed injury. James Madison had previously enjoyed a successful season, going 7-0, but recent losses have left Coleman with limited playing time. Evans, a rising star from Miami, Florida, has quickly emerged as a strong option for the Dukes, gaining increased playing time after making his debut in the previous two games.",
