WAG 19-29 EWU
- Best Performance: (#1) North Dakota St. 28, South Dakota St. 3 - The Bison again hold Zach Zenner under 50 yards & this time find some semblance of offense in a surprisingly comfortable win.
Worst Performance: Coastal Carolina 35, (#2) Old Dominion 63 - Not often a team gains 540 yards & gets whipped. It's also not often a QB throws the ball 44 times & still ends up with an efficiency rating over 200.
Most Surprising Result: Soccer Fest - An inability to score touchdowns when given the opportunity was a factor in several of the playoff games today. Central Arkansas was outplayed for the most part, but they still could have pulled off a win if they could've avoided settling for 3 field goals in the first half. Cal Poly & Sam Houston each got 3 field goals to just 1 touchdown in a surprisingly low scoring game (SHSU's early blocked punt for a safety ended up being the difference). Montana State also had a 3:1 field-goal to touchdown ratio in their slugfest against Stony Brook. This trend hurt Wagner the most, though—they actually scored 5 times to Eastern Washington's 4, but 4 of those 5 scores were field goals while all of EWU's were touchdowns.
