Craziest start to a year?

Post by 89Hen »

There were a lot of question marks out there for a lot of teams, but IMO this has to go down as one of the craziest starts to a year I can remember in a long time.

Montana starts 1-2, while Georgetown is a game ending TD away from being 3-0.

JMU is the second I-AA to take down a ranked I-A, in-state nonetheless.

Liberty takes down it's first I-AA only to fall to Robert Morris the next week, maybe looking ahead to James Madison... trap game as someone here predicted.

SFA beats UNI the week after they beat NDSU the week after they beat Kansas who beat ranked GT the next week.

Jacksonville State beats Ole Miss in OT, then needs OT to beat GSU... not Georgia Southern, not Grambling State... Georgia State, the one that lost to Lambuth the week before.

Gardner-Webb finally turns some eyes by beating Akron and then turns the ball over 6 times and gives up 28 points to WCU in a losing effort where the Catamounts only muster 7 first downs.

NAU and Indiana State have yet to play a I-AA game.

Lamar in their first year since 1989 with football put a big scare into McNeese and then beat SELA for their first unofficial Southland win.

Nicholls provides South Alabama (USA) with their first ever Division I win (in their first ever Division I game).


What else you got?

Jacksonville St. needed OT to beat Georgia St., not Old Dominion. Which makes the story even odder since GSU had previously lost to D-II Lambuth.

Wagner gets rolled by a mediocre DII team in Assumption and then destroys Cornell the next week 41-0. :shock:
