It has certainly been an exciting week of action in the CAA. With five CAA teams ranked in the top eight in the FCS, it certainly has made for some exceptional match-ups.
#5 Delaware 13, #3 James Madison 10
This was probably the biggest game in the FCS on Saturday. This game was dominated by the defense, with a majority of the scoring coming in the first half. Delaware opened the scoring in the second quarter with a 1-yard touchdown run from Quarterback Trevor Sasek. James Madison countered with 1-yard touchdown run from Scott Noble. James Madison finished off the first half with a 20-yard field goal to take the lead at halftime by the score of 10-7. Delaware defense stepped it up and held James Madison scoreless in the second half and forced 3 punts and 1 Interception. Delaware kicker Mike Perry hit a game tying 47-yard field game with 14:56 left in the 4th quarter. Mike Perry was called upon again with 6 seconds remaining in the 4th quarter to hit a game winning 28-yard field goal.
With the loss, James Madison will most likely drop out of the top 5 and with the win, Delaware will move into the top 3. With #1 Villanova losing at #7 William & Mary, Delaware will be the highest ranked CAA team in the country.

UPSET OF THE WEEK
Rhode Island over William & Mary. URI has won two games in a row, this may sound like an unimpressive stat, but for URI, who went 1-10 last year, a two game win streak is impressive. URI is coming off narrow wins over CAA rival UNH and instate rival Brown in overtime. We'll see what happens!
