Week 2 Score Card: Contenders vs. Pretenders

If you are keeping score on the Football Championship Subdivision (I-AA) upsets, here are some real eye openers.

James Madison University (Colonial Athletic Conference) smacked #13 ranked Virginia Tech 21-16, at Lane Stadium. Liberty University Flames (Big South) outlasted Ball State (Mid-American) 27-23 on the road.

Independent South Dakota Coyotes in their third year in the FCS, bounced back from a 38-7 lost to Central Florida in Week One to defeat the Minnesota Gophers (Big Ten) 41-38. Southern University (SWAC) was steamrolled in an easy home opener to invited Division II, University of Arkansas - Monticello (Gulf South Conference), 31-7. So, what does that say about the strength of Coach Stump Mitchell's Jaguars -- that he predicted would win 12 games this season?

The Big South is on a roll...Gardner-Webb edged FBS Akron 38-37 on the Zips home field. Savannah State Tigers continued its FCS struggles by getting outplayed by Division II SIAC power, Fort Valley State 41-10 in the Music City Classic in Macon, Georgia. Winston-Salem State Rams (3-0) are proving to be better as a member of the Division II, Central Intercollegiate Athletic Conference as it whipped its second in-state rival, North Carolina Central Eagles (MEAC), 34-27 on the road. Rams first year coach Connell Maynor is now 3-0, with last season's 1-10 Rams program, scoring road wins over Virginia Union, North Carolina A&T and NCCU.
