Best Performance: (#25) Montana 31, South Dakota 17 - Dalton Sneed throws for 427 yards and accounts for all 4 Griz touchdowns in an important road win.
Worst Performance: Southern Utah 23, (FBS) UNLV 56 - The T-Birds are outrushed 331-46 by a weak FBS in a game that was actually less competitive than the final score would indicate.
Most Surprising Result: Portland St. 13, (FBS) Arkansas 20 - I guess the Oddsshark people were on to something here.

Most Surprising Result: Southeastern Louisiana 35, (#6) Jacksonville St. 14 - This upset was even more surprising because SELU had started at least 0-2 in each of the past 3 seasons.

Worst Performance: Tennessee St. 26, Mississippi Valley St. 20 - A rash of penalties (14) nearly costs the Tigers a win against one of the perennial doormats of FCS.
Most Surprising Result: (#6) Jacksonville St. 14, Southeastern Louisiana 35 - The Gamecocks lost their opener last year, too, but this 21-point loss to a supposedly middling Southland team is much more concerning.

Best Performance: Davidson 27, Georgetown 20 - The Wildcats show some perseverance by pulling out a victory after blowing a 20-0 halftime lead.
Worst Performance: San Diego 34, Cal Poly 52 - San Diego? Worst? Well, they were down 52-14 against a sub-par Big Sky team. That's pretty bad…
Most Surprising Result: Davidson 27, Georgetown 20 - Davidson gets their first win over a non-Pioneer DI opponent since their last win over Georgetown in 2005.
May have been a bad week for wins by the MVFC, most of those games went as expected. A lot of people are over looking North Alabama. They are probably a 20-25 team if they are eligible for polls.

I still doubt that. The Lions weren't anywhere near a top-25 team last year, so I'm skeptical they've improved that much.

Didn't think they were that far behind Delaware last year, after seeing both play live in Fargo.

Most Surprising Result: Georgetown 20, Davidson 27 - I know Davidson's an option team, but still… the 355 rushing yards Georgetown allowed here was nearly one-third of the total they allowed all of last season.

Worst Performance: Bryant 10, Stony Brook 35 - The Bulldogs are badly beaten by a team that lost nearly their entire starting offense from last season.
Most Surprising Result: Wagner 21, (FBS) UConn 24 - UConn is one of the worst teams in FBS, of course, but Wagner's recent history suggests even that should be way too much for them. Is this a sign of progress in Staten Island?

Like I posted in the Week 1 score thread, JMU outgained WVU 328-294. WVU was suppose to have a good rushing game, but JMU held them to 34 yds rushing. The difference in the game was 3 JMU turnovers to 0 for WVU, & JMU had a blocked chip shot FG. Surprisingly JMU looked like the more dominant team in both sides of the LOS for much of the game. https://amp.usatoday.com/amp/40056723
Also must say the WVU fan reputation towards opposing fans is underserved from what I personally saw & experienced & from what JMU fans did (whole thread on the JMU board about this).
..peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard..
..But you have to go home now. We have to have peace…
..I know how you feel, but go home, and go home in peace.
