I have no idea why people look at NDSU’s close loss to Colorado and say Colo got embarrassed. It probably has something to do with them being an FCS team and people who are not students of the game (or parents of FCS players) understanding that FCS teams are actually good and the really good ones are better than the majority of FBS teams. Montana State–a team that didn’t make the FCS tourney last season, beat FBS New Mexico last week. Sacramento State beat Stanford last year–one of 4 FCS over FBS wins in that season. There were 8 such wins in 22. In fact, Jacksonville State beat perennial powerhouse FSU in 21–The same year Montana knocked off a 20th ranked Washington. The list goes on. That these wins happen is not surprising, that Prime wins and is still crapped on, is not surprising. I suppose the only surprise is that I’m here playing defense.
I suppose next week means more. A rising Nebraska team is a better optics moment.
