The Washington Redskins announced that FedEx Field will host a game between West Virginia and James Madison on Sept. 15, 2012.
It will be the second time the school have met and it’s an early-season game vs. a Division I-AA team for the Mountaineers. James Madison upset Virginia Tech last season.
The Redskins have attempted to host local schools for games. The Hokies played Boise State there last season. Notre Dame-Maryland is scheduled for this season as well as Army-Navy. Virginia Tech will return to FedEx Field for a game vs. Cincinnati in 2012.
