- NConf Record: 0-0
Overall: 22-26
vs. FCS: 0-0
Overall: 14-8
Best Performance: (#8) Montana St. 48, (#3) Montana 14 - The Bobcats outrush the Griz 382-46 in an inexplicable beatdown.
Worst Performance: Northern Arizona 53, Idaho 60 (OT) - The Lumberjack "defense" allows Mason Petrino—of all people—to put up 556 yards of total offense and 7 total touchdowns.
Most Surprising Result: (#3) Montana 14, (#8) Montana St. 48 - This was the most lopsided Griz loss in the Brawl since 1966 (38-0) and the most lopsided loss for either team in this rivalry since 1999 (49-3).

Overall: 9-3
Best Performance: (#23) Nicholls St. 28, (#21) Southeastern Louisiana 27 - Dai'Jean Dixon catches 9 passes for 190 yards and 3 touchdowns—including a go-ahead 57-yarder with 1:30 left—to help clinch the Southland auto for the Colonels.
Worst Performance: Northwestern St. 20, Stephen F. Austin 32 - The Demons lose rushing 232-56 to an SFA team that was averaging just 98 ypg on the ground coming in.
Most Surprising Result: Northwestern St. 20, Stephen F. Austin 32 - The Demons had won 3 of 4 after a horrible 0-7 start, so it's surprising that they lost to a Lumberjack squad that hadn't really turned around their own slow start.

Worst Performance: Missouri St. 24, Indiana St. 51 - The Bears finish 1-10 after allowing Dominique Dafney to run for 244 yards and 4 touchdowns.
Most Surprising Result: (#7) Illinois St. 3, Youngstown St. 21 - With starting QB Brady Davis now out for the season, his Redbird replacements were so bad that they put up a negative efficiency rating (3/16, 30 yds., 3 INTs).
