Best Performance: (#17) Montana St. 43, Central Arkansas 33 - Dakota Prukop puts up 379 yards of total offense and 3 total touchdowns as the Bobcats build a big enough lead to override some odd fourth-quarter mistakes.
Worst Performance: North Dakota 0, Missouri St. 38 - 166 total yards and a 46.0 passing-efficiency rating suggest the No-Nicks have transitioned from being a team with no defense to being a team with no offense.
Most Surprising Result: Northern Colorado 28, Houston Baptist 20 - Last week, the Bears forced 4 interceptions in a near upset of a Mountain West squad. This week, the Bears forced 4 interceptions and somehow almost lost to an awful startup program.

Worst Performance: Nicholls St. 10, (DII) Henderson St. 27 - A bad, if not unexpected, loss for the Colonels. Probably not as bad as losing your coach the next day, though…
Most Surprising Result: (#15) Sam Houston St. 21, (DII) CSU-Pueblo 47 - In their first 2 games against FCS competition, the Bearkats averaged 613.5 yards per game. Against the second-ranked DII, however, they could only put up 226.

Worst Performance: South Dakota 20, (#4) Montana 28 - Not a bad loss, obviously, but it is the MVFC's only FCS defeat thus far. The Coyotes did a good job to keep the Griz within striking distance, but the outcome was never really in doubt.
Most Surprising Result: Indiana St. 27, (FBS) Ball St. 20 - This was an Indiana State team that lost its last 6 games of last season by an average of 31 points.

Worst Performance: Charleston Southern 34, Campbell 10 - The final margin was only slightly disappointing, but the Bucs actually trailed the Camels at the half.
Most Surprising Result: Presbyterian 10, (#12) Furman 7 - Stephen Doar didn't have a good average, but he did put 5 of his 8 punts inside the 20. That was probably the most exciting thing to see at this game…

That probably means that the offense kept sputtering just outside field goal range for their kicker AND that he's skilled at coffin corner kicks, which not very many bother with anymore. If anything, the final score lends credence to that.
Man, I wish Ray Guy were back. Not only could he boom it when necessary, he could also find the corner like a neurosurgeon. Too many people claiming to be punters today just try to hang it up over the goal line and hope the coverage team saves it from touchback-land. SMH....
SuperHornet's Athletics Hall of Fame includes Jacksonville State kicker Ashley Martin, the first girl to score in a Division I football game. She kicked 3 PATs in a 2001 game for J-State.
Worst Performance: (#12) Furman 7, Presbyterian 10 - The 'Dins hold their in-state rivals under 200 yards and still lose.
You know I have felt really bad about this since about midnight Saturday which is close to when PC took the lead. But now that you have called them a rival, I am damn near balling my eyes out
After the last two years, better keep the crying towel

To me that was not as surprising as Southeastern Louisiana never even being in the game with Tulane.
Well, I believe that I must tell the truth
And say things as they really are
But if I told the truth and nothing but the truth
Could I ever be a star? Deep Purple: No One Came

BTW, Sam Houston State had only one net yard of offense in the first half. ONE. I have to believe most of what they got came after CSUP called off the dogs. CSUP was leading 47-7 about 3 minutes into the fourth quarter. Sam Houston State quarterbacks were sacked EIGHT times. It was a TOTAL butt whipping on both sides of the ball.
