Best Performance: (#15) Montana St. 45, (#20) Cal Poly 28 - The Bobcats beat Cal Poly for the first time in 19 years in surprisingly comfortable fashion.
Worst Performance: Idaho St. 8, (FBS) UNLV 80 - A 6-0 turnover disadvantage and a 517-91 rushing yard deficit… against UNLV? Keep in mind Northern Colorado lost to the Rebels by just 1 point last year.
Most Surprising Result: (#20) Cal Poly 28, (#15) Montana St. 45 - The loss of CB Chris Fletcher seems to be deeply affecting the Mustangs as they allow Dakota Prukop to put up 399 passing yards and a 240.1 efficiency rating.

Most Surprising Result: Incarnate Word 17, (FBS) UTEP 27 - UTEP isn't exactly the best FBS team, but it still could be a big step for the Cardinals that they outgained an FBS and led them in the second half.

Best Performance: Southern Illinois 34, (#10) Liberty 13 - The Salukis win rushing 255-81 as they dispatch the hot Flames.
Worst Performance: (#6) South Dakota St. 34, Robert Morris 10 - The Jackrabbits didn't ultimately have to sweat this one out, but allowing 228 rushing yards to a team like RMU has to be a concern.
Most Surprising Result: Southern Illinois 34, (#10) Liberty 13 - A textbook example of the infamous Montana Hangover.

Best Performance: (#1) Jacksonville St. 48, Tennessee-Martin 41 - They did nearly blow a 28-point lead, but the Gamecocks still managed to pull out their 12th. straight OVC win.
Worst Performance: Southeast Missouri St. 21, (DII) Shorter 26 - Redhawks allow 300 rushing yards to a DII in a pathetic performance.
Most Surprising Result: Southeast Missouri St. 21, (DII) Shorter 26 - It's one thing for Shorter to beat Delaware State, but this upset of a team that beat SIU and nearly knocked off Indiana State is quite puzzling.

Best Performance: Dayton 31, Kennesaw St. 27 - Connor Kacsor runs for 229 and 3 TDs as he carries the ball 40+ times for the second consecutive game.
Worst Performance: Davidson 0, Morehead St. 34 - For the Wildcats, being shut out by defensively-challenged Morehead means success is still an eternity away.

Best Performance: Colgate 31, Holy Cross 14 - The Raiders run for 266 yards and get an unusually strong defensive effort in handling the Crusaders.
Worst Performance: Lehigh 26, Princeton 52 - 4 turnovers made Lehigh's 561 yards rather worthless.
Most Surprising Result: Lehigh 26, Princeton 52 - Not only was the margin surprising, but this was only Lehigh's 4th. loss in the last 20 years (16 meetings) against Princeton.
Best Performance: Bryant 17, (#2) Coastal Carolina 31 - The only other choice was SFPA's victory over a Boca Raton YMCA team, so this somewhat respectable loss "wins."
Worst Performance: Wagner 24, Lafayette 35 - Seahawks fall to 0-4 all-time versus Lafayette.
Most Surprising Result: Wagner 24, Lafayette 35 - The post-Hameline era in Staten Island is off to an 0-3 start as the Seahawk secondary gets shredded by a rather weak opponent.

Most Surprising Result: (#5) Villanova 13, Penn 24 - John Robertson's injury causes a total collapse of the Wildcat offense as they struggle mightily against an Ivy non-contender.

Best Performance: Charleston Southern 33, The Citadel 20 - The Bucs dominate the second half, get two 100-yard rushers, and hold the deadly option attack of The Citadel under 200 rushing yards.
Worst Performance: Kennesaw St. 27, Dayton 31 - Not a bad performance given the infancy of the program, but it's still a Pioneer League loss.
Most Surprising Result: (#10) Liberty 13, Southern Illinois 34 - A tough game to win, especially after the hype & effort against Montana, but it must concern the Flames that they lost convincingly & that they're averaging just 120 rushing ypg thus far.

Meh. I agree. But from what I read in the Sun today, Victor and the #2 RB went down in the 12t and 2nd quarter. Our LT got rolled up on and broke his leg. The #3 and 4 RBs were already injured and didn't make the trip. So Frazier and the FB were the running game for 2 1/2 quarters. No wonder the ground game shit the bed.
"Elaine, you're from Baltimore, right?"
"Yes, well, Towson actually."

Yeah, when someone on the JMU board mentioned TU being schizophrentic (playing ECU tough then losing to Elon) I mentioned this:

Most Surprising Result: East Tennessee St. 24, (DIII) Emory & Henry 27 - The Bucs blow the last realistic chance to tie their all-time series with the Wasps.
