  Best Performance: (#4) Weber St. 35, (#22) North Dakota 30 - Wildcat QB Jake Constantine gives by far the best performance of his career as he throws for 318 yards, accounts for 4 total touchdowns, and commits 0 turnovers.
  
  Worst Performance: Sacramento St. 14, Portland St. 41 - Hornet RB Elijah Dotson should get the Big Sky's "Consummate Professional of the Year" Award because he's putting up 171 rushing ypg in conference play—and has no less than 140 yards in any of those games—for a team that's 0-5.
  
  Most Surprising Result: Northern Arizona 28, Cal Poly 38 - I'm not sure what's more surprising: that NAU was handled at home with whatever playoff hopes they had on the line, or that the 'Jacks outrushed Cal Poly and still lost.
