CONWAY, S.C. (AP) — Jordan McCloud threw a career-high five touchdown passes — three to Elijah Sarratt — and No. 24 James Madison rebounded from its only loss to rout Coastal Carolina 56-14 on Saturday.Transitioning from FCS to the bowl subdivision, the Dukes (11-1, 7-1 Sun Belt) were turned down twice by the NCAA in a bid for a waiver that would make them eligible for the league title game next week as East Division champions — and potentially a New Year’s Six bowl invite as the top Group of Five team.But James Madison lost in overtime, 26-23, at home to Appalachian State a week ago.

The sixth-year player surpassed his old touchdown mark, which he tied three times previously this season. He...
