UNI loses to:
SDSU, 31 - 3
UND, 35 - 7
Utah Tech, 20 - 9

And gets worst performance for losing by a field goal to a USD? Must have been a tough week to pick one because it was UNI's best conference game this year.

South Dakota looked like the worst team of those 5 winners coming into the week. There wasn't a really bad performance.
