    Worst Performance: (#14) Montana 20, Portland St. 22 - The Griz suffer just their 4th. homecoming loss of the Washington-Grizzly era in what was probably their most embarrassing defeat (home or road) since that stadium opened.

    Most Surprising Result: Portland St. 22, (#14) Montana 20 - The Viks get their first DI win since Donald Trump was elected president as they also pick up their first Missoula victory in 31 years.

    vs. FCS: 0-1

    Best Performance: Drake 36, Butler 6 - Butler won possession time 41:31 to 18:29. That did them a lot of good…

    Most Surprising Result: Davidson 44, Jacksonville 37 - The Wildcats actually led this game 44-9 at one point, and they're off to a 2-1 start in PFL play for the first time since 2009.

Theoretically but the scheduling for them is mean. After they play Lamar this coming weekend they will have four games in four weeks against McNeese then against Nichols State then against Central Arkansas then against Sam Houston State. I wish McNeese was the last one on that list instead of the first. But it's going to be awfully tough for Incarnate Word to get through that four game stretch still alive for the conference title.
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?

    Overall: 7-18


    Best Performance: (#21) Colgate 27, Bucknell 3 - The Raider defense continues to dominate—they're allowing 248 yards-per-game and 4.6 points-per-game.

    Worst Performance: Fordham 11, Georgetown 23 - The Rams lose to Georgetown for just the 3rd. time in the last 35 seasons.

    Most Surprising Result: Georgetown 23, Fordham 11 - This game was actually tied 8-8 at the half—the Hoyas had a TD and a 2PC, while Fordham had a TD with a missed PAT and a safety. :?

  • NConf Record: 0-2
    Overall: 13-17

    vs. FCS: 0-2

    Best Performance: Bryant 21, Duquesne 20 - Tomas Wright registers 4.5 TFLs, 3 sacks, and 2 pass breakups as his Bulldogs move to 2-0 in NEC play.

    Worst Performance: Wagner 3, Campbell 49 - As usual for the Seahawks, Ryan Fulse has a big game (194 yards) and it means nothing.

CAA

HC 0-28 UNH
NOVA 10-13 MAINE
BROWN 0-48 URI

    Worst Performance: Albany 22, William & Mary 25 - The Danes get a 200-yard game from Elijah Ibitokun-Hanks and still lose to what previously appeared to be the worst team in the conference.

    Most Surprising Result: (#2) James Madison 24, (#10) Elon 27 - This game was a bettors dream as JMU was favored by a ridiculous 39.5 points on 5dimes, and picking Elon to pull the upset had a +9500 money line (that's equivalent to 95:1 odds). :shock:

Big South

    Worst Performance: Charleston Southern 3, Savannah St. 23 - The run-heavy Bucs can only manage 33 rushing yards against a perennial bottom-dweller.

    Best Performance: (#7) Wofford 21, Tennessee-Chattanooga 10 - The Terriers win yardage 511-186, making one wonder why the score wasn't much uglier.

    Worst Performance: Western Carolina 28, Samford 66 - The Catamounts forced 5 turnovers, but they committed 5 themselves and also allowed 736 yards of offense.

    Most Surprising Result: Samford 66, Western Carolina 28 - In a weird performance, Bulldog QB Devlin Hodges accounts for 7 total touchdowns and 4 total turnovers.

Weber State's performance should have been worst Big Sky performance.

Weber was outgained 352 to 176 despite winning the turnover battle and winning time of possession. They were 3-18 on third down efficiency and only managed 61 rushing yards on an NAU team that has given up a plethora of rushing yards in their previous games. Which doesn't help when your two QB's combined for only 117 passing yards.

That's pretty bad, Ryan...but I think Sac's embarrassment against Cow Poly and the Griz' botched HC game sort of trump that....
