It was an exciting start to the season in CAA Football and the conference is hoping for more success in Week 2.
New Hampshire and Rhode Island took the early lead in the CAA standings with conference victories last Thursday night. The Wildcats scored two touchdowns in the final 6:20 to rally past Monmouth, 31-21, and the Rams used a big second half to pull away from Stony Brook, 35-14. New Hampshire is back in action on Saturday night at UAlbany in the lone conference game this week, which can be seen at 7 p.m. on FloFootball.com.
CAA Football continued its success against FBS opponents as William & Mary beat Charlotte, 41-24, last Friday and Delaware downed Navy, 14-7, on Saturday. It was the Blue Hens' first FBS win since 2007 and the Tribe's first FBS victory since 2009. The CAA has posted 42 wins over FBS foes in its history and has won at least one game against an FBS team in 12 of the past 15 years. Since 2013, 10 different CAA teams have recorded at least one FBS victory and the CAA has earned multiple victories over FBS opponents five times since 2016/
There are 10 non-conference games on the Week 2 slate, and all are against FCS opponents. The CAA will look to build on a 3-0 start vs. FCS foes as Hampton, Towson and Villanova posted wins last week.
Here is this week's edition of Three Things To Watch to get you ready for Saturday's action.
