Most Surprising Result: Tennessee Tech 14, Tennessee-Martin 55 - The Golden Eagles are noticeably improved from the last couple years, but this was still a hard plummet back to Earth.

WCU definitely is a dumpster fire
I can’t help but be happy for VMI right now, even if it was at our expense. Besides, we needed somebody else to shine the Silver Shako for a while.

Most Surprising Result: South Dakota 45, Missouri St. 10 - Are the Coyotes good or not? Because they've looked like a completely different team since their bye week.
They aren’t good but they are well coached. Give Nelson the resources and he could build a team. What success USD is getting is on the cheap.

That was actually the opposite impression I got from their season opener against the Griz. They have talent—at least on offense—but some of their coaching decisions in that game were questionable. USD kept crashing the run with their front-7 even though they were getting picked apart through the air. They also went for it on fourth down twice when they shouldn't have: they got lucky and scored on 4th. & 4 from the 9, but they later went for it on 4th. & 6 from the 7 when there was still nearly a full quarter left (Simmons was stuffed).
