Week 4 keeps us entertained

I think there will be a shake up in the top 10.

Georgia Southern did enough to show us they were still the number 1 pick. A dominating game.

But we did see a few teams falter.
Montana followed up their big win with a dud against Sacramento State. That loss in the Big Sky is going to put them behind the 8-Ball. Especially since . . .

Montana State disposed of Eastern Washington with relative ease. Admittedly E. Washington had a tough stretch of games, but they failed miserably. They are almost out of the running for the Big Sky title, and may end up missing the playoffs if they do not start winning and stopping people on defense.

William and Mary's new quarterback played well, but was not enough as James Madison ran through them for a 20-14 win. William and Mary has not looked good, and this may have been their best game. A bad start to the conference season.

Richmond gave up 28 second quarter points to lose 43-45 to New Hampshire. Richmond has a good team, but losses in the CAA at home are hard to overcome.

Appy State had a bad game, but won. They ended up coming from behind, but their win should be considered a falter. Chattanooga missed a field goal, took a 6-0 late in the third quarter and then gave up a fumble return for a touchdown and an interception return for a touchdown on back to back drives. The next drive they took it all the way and scored. It was too late by that point and Appy hung on to win 14-12. Yes, DeAndre Presley did not lead the team to any points on offense. Not a one. That is a bad sign for the Mountaineers.

Jacksonville State, Wofford, McNeese State, and South Carolina State all had important, but expected wins. Northern Iowa played well and won too.

Delaware won the big show down with Old Dominion in what was a great game that was still in doubt late in the 4th. Delaware did it mostly with passing and Pierce was held in check and did not lead the team in rushing. Nijha White was found again and caught a 7 yard TD pass as part of his 117 yard game. He had been missing from their attack often this year, but not in this game.

North Dakota State beat Minnesota just like I called. Perhaps more impressive was Southern Utah taking down UNLV. Big wins for both those schools. Southern Utah should get some real good looks at high rankings this week.

Although the team that is a sleeper right now is Georgetown. They obliterated Marist and are now 3-1 in a weak Patriot league. Darby (QB) had a 200 yard game, and they almost had two 100 yard rushers. Durham had 103 and a TD on 8 touches including a 67 yarded. Campanella had 82 on 18 touches. He too had a TD. Darby had an even 50 and a rushing TD as well. Their lone loss was on the road at Yale, which is nothing to be ashamed of. They have some big games including next week at 3-1 Bucknell, but they could be playing the last week of the season for a playoff spot as they travel to Leigh.

I hope you all enjoyed the FCS this week as much as I did. Looking forward to the new rankings coming out.
