  • NConf Record: 0-0
    Overall: 18-18

    vs. FCS: 0-0
    Overall: 13-5


    Best Performance: (#3) Montana St. 55, (#13) Montana 21 - The Bobcats get two 100-yard rushers and run for 439 yards against a defense that was allowing 97.3 per game on the ground coming in.

    Worst Performance: Northern Colorado 21, Eastern Washington 45 - Dylan McCaffrey goes 12/25 for just 79 yards (2 TDs, 2 INTs) against a defense that had looked totally lost all season.

    Most Surprising Result: (#3) Montana St. 55, (#13) Montana 21 - Montana State has won the last two Griz/Cat games in Bozeman by a combined 68 points (34 apiece). The previous 8 Bobcat wins over the Griz since "The Streak" ended came by a combined 53 points. :o

    Best Performance: (#5) Incarnate Word 66, Northwestern St. 7 - Lindsey Scott puts up 447 yards of total offense and 6 total TDs while Marcus Cooper runs for 254 yards and 2 TDs as the Cardinals ruthlessly dismember yet another hapless opponent.

    Worst Performance: Houston Christian 7, Tarleton St. 49 - The Huskies are outgained 516-135 and outrushed 309 to minus-21 by a transitional team.

    Most Surprising Result: Texas A&M-Commerce 14, Tennessee St. 22 - After a 5-2 start that included a win over SELU, the Lions finish the season with an ugly 4-game losing streak

    Best Performance: (#4) North Dakota St. 42, (#16) North Dakota 21 - The Bison run for 363 yards and 6 touchdowns without RB Hunter Luepke as they get their 5th. straight win over UND.

    Worst Performance: South Dakota 14, Northern Iowa 58 - The Coyotes cap off a super disappointing season by allowing 593 yards at home.

    Most Surprising Result: Illinois St. 20, Western Illinois 13 (OT) - They got away with it (and achieved a winning season), but the Redbirds could only manage 223 yards against a winless team with the MVFC's worst defense.

OVC

MUR 22-52 SEMO

    Worst Performance: Murray St. 22, (#17) Southeast Missouri St. 52 - The Racers presumably knew they could safely stack the box with SEMO QB Paxton DeLaurent out, and they still allowed Geno Hess to run for 317 yards with 12.2 yards-per-carry. :ohno:

    Most Surprising Result: (#25) Tennessee-Martin 34, Eastern Illinois 31 - The Skyhawks ultimately lost the auto bid anyway, but an underwhelming performance against the 2-8 Panthers almost made an OVC coin flip unnecessary.

HCU 7-49 TARL
JAXST 40-17 UCA

    Best Performance: Stephen F. Austin 24, Abilene Christian 21 - Xavier Gipson catches 11 balls for 213 yards and a TD to help the Lumberjacks steal the WAC title from ACU (also ending their auto-bid hopes).

    Worst Performance: Central Arkansas 17, ("FBS") Jacksonville St. 40 - With a playoff bid potentially on the line, the Bears lose 4 fumbles and get thumped at home.

Not sure the Brawl didn't sweep all 3 categories in the Big Sky this week. UNC has been bad and inconsistent all season.

Montana hasn't looked that bad in....well, since the last time we got boatraced in Bozeman. :oops:

Losing to this Eastern team by 24 is still a helluva lot worse than losing to MSU by 34. Portland State's loss to awful Cal Poly was worse than UM's, too.

True, but I meant relegate them back to D-II. They're not the only ones I want to relegate back to D-II...and there are some I'd like to relegate back to FCS (like UMASS, UCONN, and a few others).
