VIDEO: Top 5 FCS Game Highlights of Week 3
Here is my upset-laden take on the top 5 FCS football games of the week with video highlights from Week 3.
Towson upended one of the early powers in the CAA, Villanova, by scoring 35 straight points against a team that only yielded 26 points in their first two games combined; Western Illinois knocked off FCS royalty by beating Montana; McNeese State made a Southland statement by upsetting Nicholls; North Dakota upended highly-ranked Sam Houston State; and Mercer dominated Samford, upending title expectations in the SoCon. Additionally, Holy Cross rallied from a three-score deficit to beat Yale in overtime.
