Best Performance: Eastern Kentucky 59, (FBS) Bowling Green 57 (7OT) - Key moment: the Colonels converted the two-pointer in the third overtime after being pushed back to the 18-yard line by an offensive pass-interference penalty.
Worst Performance: (#18) Stephen F. Austin 17, (FBS) Louisiana Tech 52 - The Lumberjacks continue their search for rock bottom as they get stomped by the team picked 9th. in Conference USA.

Best Performance: Gardner-Webb 27, (FBS) Coastal Carolina 31 - Bailey Fisher throws for 403 yards on just 37 attempts (188 yards to T.J. Luther) as his Bulldogs put a scare into the Chants.
Worst Performance: North Carolina A&T 3, (#1) North Dakota St. 43 - The Aggies did allow only 273 yards, but that was in large part because NDSU's average starting field position was on their 47 yard line (that includes a defensive TD).
