The games start to get more interesting at this point as we now have 2 or 3 data points to gauge the teams this season. The Cats have a bye.

ISU 17 at North Dakota 32--- The Sioux took down the mighty Griz last weekend. They now take on another Big Sky team, but this one is not so mighty.

Morehead State 3 at UM 52--- The Griz get a cupcake to take out their frustrations from last weekend's loss and to work on some issues.

Albany 26 at UI 27---A repeat from last season's playoffs in which Albany had won. Idaho does not want that to repeat itself. I hear the Vandals may be playing their 3rd string QB. As long as he does not make too many mistakes, especially at critical points in the game or major mistakes they should have a fair chance to win.

Abilene Christian 32 at UNC 24--- AC nearly beat Texas Tech and beat FCS new comer West Georgia. The Bears are rebuilding, but are hosting the game.

WSU 25 at Lamar 17---The BBQ has shown itself to be a decent team and not to be taken lightly. Lamar appears to have some things to work on.

EWU 17 at SE Louisiana 24---The Eagles took a bad loss at home last weekend. It does not get any easier traveling to Louisiana. SELA has been thumped twice by FBS teams and will be eager for their first W.

UCD 27 at Southern Utah 24---SU beat a bad FBS team last weekend and UCD will need a W with an upcoming gauntlet through the Big Sky.

Western Oregon 13 at CP 24---With the way CP has started the season this game may not be a easy as they would like it to be but should still get a W.

NAU 32 at Utah Tech 14---Lumberjacks travel around the Grand Canyon. (Maybe NAU could get a rivalry going with either UT or SU and have some sort of Canyon trophy.)

South Dakota 26 at PSU 30---The Vikings gauntlet of games continues this weekend, but maybe hosting their first game will give them an edge.

Nicholls 27 at SAC 38---Sac could be the best 0-2 FCS team in the nation and Nicholls too is 0-2 against FBS teams. Sac's Home field advantage is too much for Nicholls. Both teams need to start earning Ws to have a shot at the playoffs.

lol. While that would be one of the most epic things ever, not happening. I think Griz are 38 point favorites and it will probably be worse than that.

I heard South Dakota @ Portland State was cancelled due to several PSU players testing positive to whooping cough

Alright I watched the gris game in person. After that loss I was either expecting meltdown or dominance and my goodness they flew today. Granted that was a AWFUL morehead st team but the gris showed how damn tough they are. I was expecting them to lose 2-3 more games but I wouldn’t suprised if they dominate until they brawl. I might have to edit this when they play a more normal team but that was a very different team than I saw the two weeks prior.

Exactly. If they beat WCU by 50 some points I will be shocked - even in WAGriz.

I get it but they are a top 5 team maybe top 3 when they have momentum. Now when they don’t have momentum (crowd noise, dominance) they are barely a top 25 team.
