GRR: AIC
In making AIC the #1 DI men’s college team in the fall I had to make a few assumptions, because AIC didn’t play everyone in the country; I had to make assumptions based on the style of play, and the athleticism, and the type of players other teams have.
American International College shocked Clemson 54-21 in a game that showcased the depth and athleticism of the program.
American International College slammed Boston College 72-21 to win the ECRC Conference Saturday.
AIC scored an early try busting the ball up the middle with the forwards, and quickly added tries out in the backs to lead 19-0. But after that, things settled down. Boston College scored a try, and seemed to clamp down on the Yellow Jackets through much of the first half.
The ECRC Conference has come down to this weekend with 7-0 AIC facing off with 7-0 Boston College.
AIC was expected to be in this situation, showcasing a speedy, exciting team that can bring the grit up front. In fact, it might be the tight five of AIC that has impressed the most this season.
The #2-ranked AIC Yellow Jackets defeated UMass 41-11 Friday night to move to 7-0 in the ECRC.
AIC had to really work to break through a tenacious UMass defense, but ultimately the Minutemen were beaten by a patient and very quick Yellow Jackets squad.
