  Best Performance: (#22) Southeastern Louisiana 30, Lamar 27 - The Lions may actually be finding a passing game as QB D'Shaie Landor threw for 283 on just 20 attempts and accounted for 3 total touchdowns.
  
  Worst Performance: Northwestern St. 31, Incarnate Word 45 - Demons start 0-5 for the second time in the I-AA/FCS era (2009).

It wasn't as bad as it looked. We would have won if we had executed better, tackled better, had a better game plan, made better coaching decisions, stopped their rush and gotten to their quarterback.

Can you "honorably mention" that which does not exist?
