Think You Know About the FCS?

Tomorrow night. Just a busy few weeks but I'll post some good questions by 9:00 tomorrow night. Thanks for asking.

Day 14 Questions

1. Fans of this team can thank their #122 ranked total defense (worst in the FCS) for their down season. Unfortunate, because their QB has thrown for over 3,600 yards, good for second best in the FCS.

2. Three FCS programs have yet to win a game in 2013. Name two of the three.

3. Excluding Fordham, who doesn't qualify for conference wins or losses, 8 teams are currently undefeated in conference play. Name all eight.

4. This team holds nearly every FCS passing record for a game and for the entire season.
Most passing yards per game: 496.8
Most passing TDs per game: 6.4
Most passing first downs per game: 21.4
Most passing TDs in one game: 11

They also hold these records:
Most points per game: 60.9
Most TDs per game: 8.7
Most total yards per game: 640.1

5. William & Mary recently shut out New Hampshire for the first time since 1995 (220 games). That's a long time. But, this team has played well over 300 games without being shut out (1989 to present), a current FCS record. Name the team. Note: Dayton hasn't been shut out in well over 400 games but has only played FCS ball since 1993.

Passed 4/5 I was thinking a slightly different one on #4.

[gotts]

3/5 I sense my time is coming to a close soon.

[Tribal]

Amended question 1 because I confused two programs on the ranking piece. I removed that and added the part about their stud QB. Thanks for pointing that out, MT.

[OhioHen]

4/5 - probably thinking the same school as MTfan4life on #4

[PAllen]

Day 15 Questions

Today's questions are all about the little kid beating up the big bully. Strong word of caution - use FCS and 1-AA interchangeably and all questions refer to how the teams stood at the time of the game unless otherwise noted. For example, Troy is now a FBS program so beating them in 1984 would not constitute a FCS over FBS upset. Bucknell's victory over Brown in 1980 would constitute a FCS over FBS beatdown. Chattanooga has lost to many FCS programs but they are 6-0 against FCS schools when Chatty was a FBS program. Got it?

1. The SEC is the proverbial college football powerhouse, right? Three FCS schools (then and now) have beaten current SEC schools (Mississippi, Mississippi State, South Carolina, and Arkansas). One of the FCS schools has pulled that feat off on two occasions against two of the aforementioned SEC programs. Name the FCS school.

2. Can you believe Penn State fell to a FCS program? It's true. Name the FCS team that upset Penn State 14-3.

3. California-Davis beat two FBS programs since 2005. If they beat one of these teams in 2013, it would be a bigger upset than Appy over Michigan and JMU over Virginia Tech. Name the two FBS programs who fell to Davis.

4. You don't have to be a FBS school to be a bully. The #1 seed in the FCS playoffs has made it all the way to the National Championship game every year since 2009 with the exception of #1 Appalachian State in 2010. This team drummed Appalachian State 42-24 in a 2010 quarterfinal game only to fall to #5 Eastern Washington in the semifinals. Name this little engine that could against Appy but couldn't against EWU.

5. Which FBS school did Youngstown State beat 31-17 in 2012? Hint: Joe Flacco was long gone by the time his former school was embarrassed by this butt-kickin'.

4/5. Missed #2.

[MTfan4life]

Started 0/2, but finished with a bang! 3/5

[OhioHen]

4/5. Not sure #2 was ever officially considered I-AA.

[bjtheflamesfan]

4/5. the little engine that could got me

[Tribe93]

2/5, I'm out. #2 was 1-AA.

[Tribal]

4/5. Not sure #2 was ever officially considered I-AA.

Sept. 10, 1983
[Answer] had been dropped to Division I-AA status that year. The [Answer] traveled to Happy Valley to take on Joe Paterno's Penn State Nittany Lions and were given little chance of winning. But [Answer] limited Penn State to just a field goal and came away with the 14-3 win.
