With D1AA action heating up this winter and the CRAA D1AA playoffs looming, here's a look at some big performances over the last couple of weeks.
Hubert King, Rice
Rice’s strong scrum and their attack centers, in part, on King at prop as he gets them going forward and led from the front in Rice’s win over Dallas.
Roberto Chavez, Fresno State
Two tries and three conversions game Chavez, the Bulldogs’ inside center, 16 points in their victory over Nevada.
Jack Ferguson, American River College
The American River College lock has a massive job not only as a main ball-winner and momentum-shifter, but also as captain of this fledgling program. He has been the foundation of ARC’s solid opening games.
Juan Galparsoro, San Jose State
While SJSU was playing some entertaining, open rugby, Galparsoro’s job was to make sure the scoreboard kept changing numbers. In the Spartans’ key 37-15 victory over Chico State the fullback played well overall and contributed three conversions and two key penalty goals.
Andre Mortensen, Florida
The hard-working Gator flanker’s try with no time left snatched victory from the jaws of defeat against South Florida. UF was down 29-26 when Mortensen scored, and with the try and conversion the Gators won 33-29.
