Weber's Cameron Higgins is the only sophomore on the Walter Payton Award watch...

I believe he is leading the nation in yards passing and touchdowns and only 2 QB's in I-A are ahead of him in either of those stats.

I watched the '99 upset of UNC. I even remember the name Harold Arceneaux. I bet some Tar Heels fans still have nightmares about him. :lol:

I haven't seen your football team this year, but you guys appear to have a good squad.

MVC?????? the WEST... ok idk about all you crazy eastern PPl. but we go by the mid point in the country as deciding east and west. As in land size divide it in half and you get the east and west. the best FCS teams in the west that you count this year are. Web.st UM, Cal Poly, NAU, maybe McN if you consider texas west. other than that everyone else is pretty much east. App. st you are going to lose hard this weekend and you wont get a seed into playoffs and i will laugh when you draw a weber state in the playoffs and lose. i really really hope that happens. (wishful thinking)

Looking at that map it really is amazing how concentrated the teams are. I would bet the FBS is similar although there would be more teams out west.

The 245 or so Division 1 football teams are about evenly split between the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS/I-A) and the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS/I-AA).
