For the ninth time this season, an FCS team beat an FBS opponent. The Western Illinois Leathernecks hammered the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers 52-10 in a game that was never that close this week. They racked up over 500 total yards of offense and turned the Chanticleers over four times in the win. It was yet another example of how there really isn’t much separating the top teams in the FCS from some of the bottom tier teams in the FBS.
Eastern Washington 48, Montana 41
The Grizzlies had to be frustrated after this one. Montana went into half with a 24-6 lead and looked set to announce that it was back to being the program to beat in the Big Sky.
