In the third full week of the season, the Sun Belt produced some strong performances, but they didn’t all translate to victories.
On the plus side, Coastal Carolina improved to 3-0 with a 12-point win over Buffalo, Southern Miss dominated Northwestern State, and App State-Troy delivered on the entertainment value expected of a College Gameday host.
On the other side, Texas State looked listless against #17 Baylor, Georgia Southern didn’t have enough against UAB, and ULM expectedly dropped a 63-7 loss to #2 Alabama. While they were valiant efforts, Georgia State and South Alabama dropped one-point contests while Old Dominion lost by two to Virginia.
