  vs. FCS: 4-1
  Overall: 5-1
  
  
  Best Performance: (#21) Idaho St. 29, (FBS) Utah St. 17 - The Bengal defense forces 4 interceptions, 2 nabbed by TreShawn Shorty, as they get their first FBS scalp since 2017.
  
  Worst Performance: Weber St. 42, Southern Utah 47 - It’s unfortunate that this was the “Worst Performance” this week since Weber played SUU closer than expected, but the Wildcat run defense does appear to be a big problem as they’re allowing 313.5 rushing yards-per-game so far this season.
  
  Most Surprising Result: (#21) Idaho St. 29, (FBS) Utah St. 17 - Idaho State is only 3-19 all-time versus the Aggies, but all 3 wins have oddly come since the I-A/I-AA split (1981, 2000, 2026).

  Best Performance: (#12) Stephen F. Austin 44, East Texas A&M 7 - The Lumberjacks easily get their 10th. straight conference win after forcing 4 turnovers and winning rushing 256-56.
  
  Worst Performance: Northwestern St. 6, (FBS) Louisiana Tech 80 - In a week where pretty much the whole Southland took their FBS lumps, the Demons’ lousiness still stood out as they allowed LA Tech to score touchdowns the first 11 times they possessed the ball.
  
  Most Surprising Result: (#17) Lamar 7, (FBS) Louisiana-Lafayette 38 - After last week’s upset of ACU, I expected the Cardinals to be more competitive against a mediocre Sun Belt squad.

  Best Performance: (#4) Illinois St. 41, Western Illinois 10 - The Redbirds cruise and take back the all-time lead in their series with WIU for the first time since the ‘60s.
  
  Worst Performance: Northern Iowa 24, Eastern Washington 34 - The Panthers got shut out in the second half after scoring points on each of their 4 first-half possessions.
  
  Most Surprising Result: Southern Illinois 22, Samford 18 - A narrow victory over a SoCon bottom-feeder illustrates how desperately the Salukis need QB DJ Williams back in the lineup.

  Best Performance: West Florida 42, (#25) Central Arkansas 14 - QB Ty’Ray Davis amasses 302 yards of total offense, 4 total touchdowns, and a 252.8 passing-efficiency rating as his Argos put up a stunningly good performance.
  
  Worst Performance: (#25) Central Arkansas 14, West Florida 42 - The Bears follow an upset of the OVC favorites by committing 3 turnovers in a home mugging.
  
  Most Surprising Result: West Florida 42, (#25) Central Arkansas 14 - With 2 top-25 wins to start the season, this former DII power is having no trouble adapting to a higher level.

  Best Performance: Morehead St. 75, (NAIA) Kentucky Christian 24 - Six different players threw passes for the Eagles in this contest—they combined for 406 yards and 7 touchdowns on just 26 attempts.
  
  Worst Performance: Davidson 0, Elon 38 - The Wildcats proved to be allergic to scoring as they missed two field goals in the first half and failed on fourth down 4 times in the second.
  
  Most Surprising Result: Presbyterian 3, (#15) Mercer 62 - After pulling a shock upset over heavily favored Mercer last year, I’m surprised the Blue Hose didn’t do everything they could to avoid playing the revenge game a year later.

  Best Performance: (#16) William & Mary 22, Delaware St. 15 - The William & Mary offense did not have a good day (187 yards, 7 sacks allowed), but the Tribe defense did as they forced 6 turnovers and got 2 fourth-down stops.
  
  Worst Performance: Holy Cross 10, Colgate 35 - The Crusaders commit 3 turnovers and allow 12 tackles-for-loss as they get thumped in a game that was supposed to be a tossup.
  
  Most Surprising Result: (#19) Villanova 17, Bucknell 16 - An upset loss to W&M followed by a 1-point win over the team picked last in the Patriot League does not exactly inspire confidence in Villanova’s football team right now.

  Most Surprising Result: Albany 17, (FBS) Buffalo 21 - An upset of New Hampshire and a narrow loss to an upper-half MAC team indicates the Great Danes could be good again.

  Worst Performance: (#20) Western Carolina 19, Campbell 28 - The Catamounts won turnovers 3-0 and got 3 fourth-down stops and still couldn't avoid the upset.
  
  Most Surprising Result: The Citadel 43, (FBS) Charlotte 41 (3OT) - After last week’s debacle against Wofford, any FBS win looks amazing—even one over a Charlotte team projected by ESPN/S&P+ to be the worst in all of FBS.

I want to see what Watson does as a passer in the SC STATE passing game.Jared Lockhart (8th)and Tevin Carter (14th) are ranked nationally among FCS QBs in passing yds.

I wonder if their football program can eventually be better than their awful basketball programs.
