Saturday’s James Madison-Charlotte matchup got a bit chippy at a point, but one player might have taken things a bit too far.With James Madison leading, 23-7, in the fourth quarter, Charlotte defensive lineman Dre Butler exchanged words with Dukes quarterback Alonza Barnett III.Butler then gave Barnett a shove, and no one can blame Barnett for selling it a tad to draw a penalty, but this was more than a tad.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM A general view of James Madison Dukes helmets on the sideline during the first half of the NCAA Division I FCS Football Championship Quarterfinal game between the James Madison Dukes and the North Dakota Fighting Hawks at Bridgeforth Stadium on May 2, 2021, in Harrisonburg, Virginia.  (Scott Taetsch/Getty Images)Barnett clearly flopped to the turf, but then, it looked like he oversold a wrestling move. After falling to the floor, Barnett then rolled backwards to emphasize the fall. He wound up back on his feet but again fell backwards and again rolled over.But he wasn’t done yet.
