One of the oldest adages in football is that defense wins championships, but in the world of I-AA on Saturday, several teams with serious dreams of playing at Finley Stadium in mid-December went on the offensive to prove their worth.
It was a day where top-ranked New Hampshire passed one of its sternest tests in a 27-17 victory over defensive-minded Richmond.
There was No. 2 Appalachian State returning to the scene of one of its greatest nightmares and its biggest triumph to annihilate Tennessee-Chattanooga 56-21.
Cal Poly finally shook off the tag of a great defensive team by showing its offense could do some damage, too, in a 23-17 victory over UC Davis.
North Dakota State ventured into one of the most hostile environments of I-AA, the iconic confines of Paulson Stadium, to beat Georgia Southern, 34-14.
