Best Performance: (#11) Sacramento St. 34, (#24) Nicholls St. 7 - The Hornets, who lost more on defense than any other Big Sky team in the offseason, holds a (supposedly) good Nicholls offense to 171 total yards while registering 14 tackles-for-loss and 7 sacks.
Worst Performance: Eastern Washington 24, Southeastern Louisiana 28 - This wasn't that bad of a loss, but—when combined with the Drake debacle—the Eagles' game against Nevada next week kinda looks like a must-win.
Most Surprising Result: Portland State/South Dakota cancellation - The Viking program, which has already become beleaguered in recent years with 7 straight losing seasons (8 if you count their 0-1 mark in Spring '21) and no real home stadium, loses out on their only non-conference home game because of a preventable contagious disease.

Chatty and Furman still ranked in AGS and I’m sure other polls. Lazy voting.

Most Surprising Result: Grambling 35, Texas A&M-Commerce 28 (OT) - Commerce QB Ron Peace put up some good numbers against highly ranked UC Davis last week, but the Tiger defense held him to 152 yards and 4 interceptions in this one.

Most Surprising Result: Georgetown 14, Sacred Heart 40 - It's not often the Hoyas are a double-digit favorite on the road… and now we see why.

NConf Record: 5-4 Overall: 19-20
vs. FCS: 5-3 Overall: 16-8
Best Performance: Rhode Island 21, Campbell 9 - The Ram defense came up big when it counted in an important game as they held Campbell to an 0/3 mark on fourth down
Worst Performance: Maine 22, Monmouth 51 - The Black Bears allow a 200-yard receiver (Josh Derry) and lose yardage 632-286 in a game that was supposed to be close.
Most Surprising Result: Hampton 37, Norfolk St. 7 - The Pirates hold Norfolk to 104 yards and get their most lopsided Battle of the Bay win since 2005.
Best Performance: Gardner-Webb 26, (FBS) Charlotte 27 - A good performance can also be agonizing as the Bulldogs blew a 17-0 lead against an FBS squad and later failed on a go-ahead two-point conversion with 1:55 to go.
Worst Performance: Charleston Southern 0, Richmond 38 - The Bucs put up 131 yards and 0 points against one of FCS's most disappointing teams thus far.
Most Surprising Result: Charleston Southern 0, Richmond 38 - I guess The Citadel loss was the real indicator of CSU's ability and not the Furman upset (either that, or Furman is actually that terrible ).

Worst Performance: (#14) Tennessee-Chattanooga 3, (#23) Mercer 10 - The Mocs are held to 3 points or less by a non-FBS team for the first time in 16 years.
Most Surprising Result: (#14) Tennessee-Chattanooga 3, (#23) Mercer 10 - It's not good to start 0-1 in conference when you're the preseason favorite.
Tomorrow: Non-Playoff Folks…
Chatty and Furman still ranked in AGS and I’m sure other polls. Lazy voting.
Delaware smoked A&T and I want to see what they do vs South Carolina St this weekend.SCSU has a dormant passing game I want to see what Prunty does as the top Aggies DB vs The Bulldogs WRs!!!!!!
