Most Surprising Result: Western Illinois 10, (#1) North Dakota St. 17 - The Leathernecks somehow run for 253 yards on the stout Bison D, but they couldn't find even a semblance of a passing game.

Worst Performance: Murray St. 27, Tennessee Tech 30 (OT) - Special teams were also the story here: the Hatch Attack outgained TTU 579-336 and won the turnover battle, yet still lost the game by missing 2 field goals, putting up a lousy punt average, and allowing a kick-return TD.
Most Surprising Result: Tennessee Tech 30, Murray St. 27 (OT) - The Golden Eagles were looking Austin-Peay-bad coming in, so they really needed this.

Worst Performance: Rhode Island 13, Brown 20 - Rhody falls for the 4th. straight time in the battle of Rhode Island, their worst streak in the series since the late '70s/early '80s.
Most Surprising Result: (#24) Delaware 7, Sacred Heart 10 - I actually picked this "upset," but it's worth noting it was Delaware's first home loss in a non-conference game since 2006.

Worst Performance: Liberty 39, (#20) Richmond 46 (2OT) - Not really a bad performance by the Flames, of course, but still a tough loss to their former coach.

Best Performance: Wofford 17, The Citadel 13 - Terriers won rushing 314-199, which is all you really need to know in a game involving two option teams.

Most Surprising Result: Western Carolina 14, Presbyterian 19 - Was this a return to normalcy for the Catamounts, or just a hiccup against a surprisingly capable opponent?

How many times can you have URI as the worst performance? They suck, period. Where did you pick Sacred Heart? While I'm not honestly surprised by the result, I didn't see anyone pick them to actually win (at least not here).
I don't know about this, Venus. Bryant's actually starting to put a pretty nice record together.
Will they take out the likes of EWU (even sans Adams) or NDSU? Probably not. But they're starting to look pretty good nonetheless....
SuperHornet's Athletics Hall of Fame includes Jacksonville State kicker Ashley Martin, the first girl to score in a Division I football game. She kicked 3 PATs in a 2001 game for J-State.

Best Performance: Alcorn St. 33, Alabama St. 7 - The Braves show they are far & away the best team in the SWAC by outgaining the seemingly second-best team 608-253.
Worst Performance: Jackson St. 30, Prairie View A&M 48 - The Tigers are outscored 31-3 in the second half by the winless Panthers.
Most Surprising Result: Prairie View A&M 48, Jackson St. 30 - This was Prairie View's first win in Jackson since 1970.
