47) Tulane 24, 82) Wyoming 14
Tulane - 21 | 3 | 0 | 0
Wyoming - 0 | 7 | 0 | 7

Chris Brazzell II (Tulane) - 4 catches, 83 yards, 3 TDs

A huge 1st quarter was all the Green Wave needed. Solid season for both teams.

146) Austin Peay 41, 18) Utah 30
Austin Peay - 14 | 7 | 6 | 14
Utah - 7 | 10 | 3 | 10

Jaden Barnes (AP) - 4 catches, 126 yards, 2 TDs

FCS power still set to 11/10. Utah QB Bryson Barnes threw 2 interceptions inside his own 35, and both times Austin Peay reached the endzone 3 plays later. The Utes cut the lead to 4 with a couple minutes left, but Mike Diliello immediately completed a 78-yard TD pass to Jaden Barnes for the Governors to squash any hopes of a comeback.

Austin Peay did go undefeated in their conference and made the FCS playoffs >_>

Penn State - 6 | 0 | 0 | 3

Matthew Sluka (Holy) - 11/23 passing, 162 yards, 2 TDs; 20 carries for 107 yards

Oh NO, Penn State was rusty from not playing this whole time ......\_()_/ Their last real-life game was against Michigan State, so not much prep from that either. Let Sluka run all over them. We're down to 11/16 1-seeds remaining.

58) Pittsburgh vs 186) Portland State

Portland State quarterback Dante Chachere is picked off around midfield leading to a Panther field goal, and after a Viking 3-and-out, Pittsburgh makes it 10-0 on a 60-yard drive spearheaded by a 58-yard pass from Christian Veilleux to Jerrod Means. Chachere is picked off again midway through the 2nd quarter, but this time Pitt kicker Ben Sauls hooks a 40-yarder wide. The Vikings make the most of their ensuing possession, moving the ball 77 yards and into the endzone, converting 3 third downs along the way, 10-7 at halftime.

Portland State doubles their score to start the 2nd half, on a 3-yard rush by Delon Thompson to cap off an 8-play 66-yard drive, and the Vikings have a 14-10 lead. Pittsburgh crosses midfield on their next possession, but Veilleux is picked off before they can get into field goal range. Portland St turns around and converts their first field goal attempt of the game early in the 4th quarter, 17-10. Pitt chooses an opportune time to put together their best drive of the game - 11 plays, 80 yards, ending with a short TD pass from Veilleux to Malcolm Epps, tie game halfway through the 4th. Pitt has a chance to win it with time running out, but Veilleux throws a brutal interception on 3rd down when the Panthers were already in FG range and could have gone for a ~40 yarder for the win. Instead, we go to overtime - this time Pitt has to settle for a 39-yard kick on 4th & 10, mostly due to 2 false starts. Chachere finds WR Eric Denham for a 25-yard touchdown on Portland State's first play.

186) Portland State 23, 58) Pittsburgh 20 (OT)
Portland State - 0 | 7 | 7 | 3 || 6
Pittsburgh - 10 | 0 | 0 | 7 || 3

FCS power still set to 11/10

Pitt snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. Definitely should not be losing to an FCS team when you have a 10-point lead......at *any* point. To be fair, they are also terrible in real life.

39) Boise State 24, 167) Abilene Christian 14
Boise State - 0 | 17 | 0 | 7 |
Abilene Christian - 0 | 0 | 0 | 14

Ashton Jeanty (Boise) - 16 carries, 72 yards, 1 TD; 6 catches, 139 yards

A big 2nd quarter propels the Mountain West champs into the Round of 64. They're now the clear favorite to come out of this region.
