The opening weekend of the FCS season provided some head-scratching results, led by Butler’s shocker over Youngstown State. The Missouri Valley took it on the chin last weekend, losses by Western Illinois and Northern Iowa to the Big Sky schools make this an even bigger weekend as we advance to week two. Kolpack had an early lead with McNeese winning, but things evened up after Montana’s victory. On to week two!
