BTW we don’t hate each other we’re too alike.

Worst Performance: Cornell 8, Georgetown 14 - The Big Red lose their 4th. straight game against the Patriot League.
Most Surprising Result: Cornell 8, Georgetown 14 - Not a surprising result to an FCS fan, but Cornell was initially favored by double digits on 5dimes for some reason.
Best Performance: (#15) North Carolina A&T 58, Norfolk St. 19 - Jah-Maine Martin runs for 199 yards and 3 touchdowns (2 were 65+ yarders), while Aggie teammate Kyin Howard puts up 15 tackles, 4.5 TFLs, 1 forced fumble, and a blocked kick.
Worst Performance: Howard 17, Harvard 62 - The now-Newton-less Bison allow Harvard to score 48 unanswered points in the second & third quarters.
Most Surprising Result: Delaware St. 24, South Carolina St. 38 - The Hornets scored more than they did in their first 3 FCS games combined, and yet they still lost by double digits.
Best Performance: Alcorn St. 35, Alabama St. 7 - The Braves win turnovers 5-0 and start 3-0 in SWAC play for the 5th. time in the last 6 years.
Worst Performance: Mississippi Valley St. 31, (NCCAA) Virginia Lynchburg 23 - After playing a couple FCS teams tough early, the Delta Devils fail to crack 200 yards against a school that barely even has an athletic affiliation.
Most Surprising Result: (NCCAA) Virginia Lynchburg 23, Mississippi Valley St. 31 - The Dragons aren't even close to an FCS program, but their schedule includes 8 FCS opponents this season.
The Cal Davis loss was significant if only in exposing once again how UCD is failing to meet pre season expectations.
