North Carolina A&T Aggies 38, Howard Bison 22

The Aggies came out fast with three scores in the first quarter. Howard closed the gap to 28-22 by the third quarter, but ten more points sealed the win for the Aggies. Kwashaun Quick had 200 yards passing and two scores. Marquell Cartwright had 135 rushing yards and two touchdowns.

Western Carolina Catamounts 35, Furman Paladins 17

Campbell Camels, 34 Valparaiso Crusaders 24

Three different Camels had touchdown runs.

Gardner-Webb Runnin Bulldogs 14, Citadel Bulldogs 37

Tough loss in the Bulldog Bowl for Gardner-Webb. The game was close at the half at 13-7, but then the Citadel laid it on in the second half.

Davidson Wildcats 17, Princeton Tigers 56

Tigers are bigger than Wildcats, right? They were yesterday. Princeton was up 39-10 at the half and coasted from there. Wildcats quarterback JP Douglas did throw for 260 yards without an INT.
