NCAA Football - Week 1 (Monster Cupcakes)

Week 1 NCAA football means one thing - big-name schools bringing in "cupcakes" to get kicked around in exchange for a lucrative payday. Most of the cupcakes rolled over and played dead (excuse the mixed metaphor) , but there were a few that forgot the script.
MONTANA STATE 19 - COLORADO 10
The winner of this year's "Monster Cupcake" award. A Big Sky school goes into Colorado and whomps the Buffalos. The "Honorable Mentions" include...
NORTHERN ARIZONA 14 - ARIZONA STATE 35
As mentioned below, it was 14-14 after three quarters. Don't look for the Sun Devils to make this a year-after-year rivalry.
UAB 17 - OKLAHOMA 24
Oklahoma narrowly avoids an opening-week upset for the 2nd straight year. Not a good sign for Sooner fans.
ARKANSAS STATE 14 - ARMY 6
Yeah I know, Army sucks again. But they should at least be able to beat Arkansas State.
ALBANY 17 - LEHIGH 16
Lehigh is a traditional doormat football team, but they have been good (relatively) the past couple seasons. Alas, this year it looks like its "back to tradition".
