Best Performance: Samford 31, Georgia Southern 10 - The Bulldog pass rush gets 8 sacks & holds the Eagles to just 4.7 yards-per-pass.
2.2 yards per carry against RMU is pitiful. Our offensive line has completely fallen apart.
To end a 17 game home win streak with a horrendous loss to Robert Morris on Senior Day for a team that has absolutely dominated the NEC the last 3 years is a horrendous effort.
Best Performance: Montana St. 28, Portland St. 10 - Bobcats hold PSU to just 82 yards passing.
Worst Performance: Northern Colorado 35, Sacramento St. 38 - Scoring 28 unanswered points to finish the game looks good. Giving up 31 unanswered points to start the game doesn't.
Most Surprising Result: (#2) Montana 12, Idaho St. 10 - Chase Reynolds, Andrew Selle, and Marc Mariani all have big days, but the Griz still only score 12 points against the conference basement.

Most Surprising Result: (#9) South Dakota St. 15, (#3) Southern Illinois 34 - Is there a QB controversy in Brookings? Ryan Crawford returned from injury, but he was replaced by a much more effective Thomas O'Brien in the second half.

Um not trying to be a jerk here...but i think being the number 2 team in the Nation and nearly getting upset by the conference's worst team, having 3 turnovers and 12 PENALTIES FOR 129 YDS!!! is an alot worse performance then Northern Colorado's who actually came back in that game

Again, my worst performances are not relative. Montana couldn't be the worst Big Sky performance because they won against another Big Sky team.
Most Surprising Result: (#9) South Dakota St. 15, (#3) Southern Illinois 34 - Is there a QB controversy in Brookings? Ryan Crawford returned from injury, but he was replaced by a much more effective Thomas O'Brien in the second half.
They have two capable QBs that are both healthy. I'm not sure how that will work out. Who is most effective may depend on the matchup.
It is probably better than having one of your best break his collarbone like we did.

Even if they won it doesnt mean that they couldnt be the worst performance as im pretty sure the general thought (as it seems on egriz) and in alot of people's minds is that Idaho State kicked played very well and dominated Montana throughout the game, again not trying to stir up trouble or anything i just think that Montana did have the worst performance because they are number 2 in the nation and definetly didnt prove it

I don't know about that. The Griz did outgain ISU by about 190 yards. It was stupid, lazy mistakes that made the game a down to the wire affair.
, again not trying to stir up trouble or anything i just think that Montana did have the worst performance because they are number 2 in the nation and definetly didnt prove it
You're not stirring up trouble or anything like that.
Montana definitely had the worst relative performance (& Idaho State definitely had the best; hence the "most surprising" nod), but Montana couldn't have the worst absolute performance because they won against another Big Sky team. Since Montana beat Idaho State, Idaho St. obviously played worse than Montana (and UNC & PSU played worse than ISU).
is an alot worse performance then Northern Colorado's who actually came back in that game
