- Best Performance: Lehigh 20, (#9) Richmond 16 - The Mountain Hawks end Richmond's 10-game win streak by stiffening in the redzone early (3 sub-30 field goals for Richmond in the first half) and exploding on offense late (50+ yard touchdowns from Jaden Green & Geoffrey Jamiel in the final 10:30).
Worst Performance: (#16) New Hampshire 10, Tennessee-Martin 41 - The score should've been even uglier as the Wildcats lost yardage 482-124, lost first downs 22-6, forced 0 turnovers, and went 0/4 on fourth down.
Most Surprising Result: Northern Arizona 0, (#15) Abilene Christian 24 - Not only did the Lumberjacks lose while ACU was without star QB Maverick McIvor, they scored 0 points against a team that had allowed at least 20 in every game this season. Even Northern Colorado, a team with no discernible offense, scored 22 on the Wildcats.
